After divorcing Devon Hamilton, a series of failed romances and taking in a homeless teen as a foster child, Hilary Curtis decided it didn’t matter that she was single. She wanted to be a mother. Devon even volunteered to be the father so they both went to the sperm bank, but she lost that baby. Later, they decided to do things the old-fashioned way and were thrilled when Hilary became pregnant and it looked like they would reconcile for good and finally be together, per Soaps.com.
However, Devon’s sister, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), had some problems with Hilary. She never liked her with Neil and thought she was all wrong for Devon. When Hilary’s foster daughter, Shauna (Camryn Hamm), was found in a compromising position with Lily’s son, Charlie (Noah Alexander Gerry), Lily was horrified and let Hilary know it while Lily drove and Hilary was in the passenger seat. Lily’s fury caused her to take her eye off the road and that’s when a terrible crash happened, per Soaps In Depth.
