Coronation Street star Jack James Ryan has bid an emotional farewell to his co-star following his exit.
Leo Thompkins was murdered by Stephen Reid in shock scenes earlier this year, after Leo rumbled Stephen's plan to steal money from his mum Audrey Roberts and fleece her for hundreds of thousands of pounds. Stephen is in debt and has been desperately trying to find a way to secure more income to allow him to settle his debtors and move ahead in life.
Jack - who plays Jacob Hay on the ITV soap - paid tribute to his co-star Joe Frost, as he described the actor as an "absolute class act" and a "total gent". However, Jack shared his disappointment that the pair barely had any scenes together.
