Coronation Street actor Jack James Ryan issued an apology to his co-star after claiming he had found his new 'best' on-screen partner. The latest trip to cobbles was quite dramatic for Jack as his character, Jacob Hay, risked being caught with drugs, thanks to his dad.
As viewers of the ITV soap know, Jacob first arrived on the cobbles as part of a drugs gang run by his uncle, Harvey Gaskell, back in 2020. After grooming Simon Barlow into the gang and tormenting his mum, Leanne Battersby, the character disappeared after crossing the ring leader.
However, he returned in 2021 and struck up a relationship with Amy Barlow. He has since been able to turn his life around, getting a solid job at Underworld while also settling in with Amy's family. That was until his estranged dad made an appearance in Weatherfield.
