Former Coronation Street star Jack James Ryan's first role since quitting the soap has been revealed. Fans best know the actor for playing Jacob Hay in the ITV soap.
Corrie fans came to love Jacob Hay after initially being despised for grooming Simon Barlow and for his treatment of a grieving Leanne Battersby. When he returned to the cobbles in 2022, Jacob struck up a relationship with Amy Barlow which has seen him stay on the street. While his return was initially met with disapproval from Simon, Leanne and Amy's family, he has since turned things around and even moved in with Ken Barlow and co at Number 1.
But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end and last month, Corrie fans saw Jacob leave with those closest to him thinking the worst after he pretended to be back dealing drugs after getting into trouble with his drug boss dad, Damon, and being warned to leave the street or risk Amy being hurt.
