Coronation Street star Jack James Ryan has shared the unknown link he shares with the soap's newest actor who will play his dad. The actor, who plays Jacob Hay in the ITV soap, shared a post on Instagram to celebrate the news that Ciaran Griffiths will be joining the ITV soap as Damon Hay.
Jacob made his debut on the cobbles back in 2020 before returning to Corrie last year. He tormented Leanne Battersby following the heartbreaking death of her son, Oliver, while recruiting her son Simon Barlow into selling drugs as part of the evil Harvey Gaskell's gang.
But since his Weatherfield return, Jacob has turned his life, and opinions around, after getting into a relationship with Amy Barlow. That could, however, all change as next month his dad arrives on the scene. Ciaran will take on the role of Damon who comes looking for his son while Jacob is desperate to get rid of his dad.
