Last month, Coronation Street fans saw the arrival of new character Damon who just so happens to be Jacob Hay’s dad - and the brother of drug lord Harvey Gaskell. Damon, played by Ciarán Griffiths, showed up on the street to meet with his son, saying he wanted to make things right.
However, having started a new life away from his former crimes, Jacob rejected him. After speaking to his girlfriend Amy Barlow about his dad and how the last time he saw him was when he was 16, Amy encouraged him to reconnect with Damon, which he has since done with his dad giving him money and getting him a job at The Bistro.
But it appears that Damon has had a plan all along, after getting involved in business with Nick Tilsley and Leanne Battersby amid their money woes. It has recently been revealed that we might be about to say a sad goodbye to Jacob, played by Jack James Ryan, after he gets embroiled in his dad Damon's dastardly deeds.
