Corrie fans reacted in surprise at violent scenes in the soap as Steve McDonald saw red over his daughter's new boyfriend Jacob Hay.
Steve, played by Simon Gregson, was furious to learn that 18-year-old Amy had collapsed at a club after having her drink spiked and he wrongly pinned the blame on former drug dealer Jacob, played by Jack James Ryan.
When Jacob turned up at the hospital with sandwiches and crisps for Amy's parents and tried to placate Steve, the Street Cars boss warned him to leave.
