Jack James Ryan has spoken about his 'crushing' Coronation Street exit as his character was forced to flee Weatherfield. Fans of the ITV soap have come 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 all good things must come to an end and during Friday night's trip to the cobbles, Corrie fans saw Jacob leave with those closest to him thinking the worst.
