Jacob Hay has tried to clean up his act for Amy Barlow
But he may be putting her life in danger
His father Damon is dragging him into trouble
The lad played by Jack James Ryan was rattled when his father Damon (Ciarán Griffiths) rocked up the cobbles.
Things were made all the more harrowing when Damon took over the Bistro.
Coming up on ITV, he introduces Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) to Dan, a fruit and veg supplier, and tells her he can do a far better deal.
However, Jacob is suspicious when Damon tells him that Dan’s first delivery is due this afternoon… and a package containing drugs will be hidden in the crate of olive oil.
Jacob later feels stressed as he expects the first drugs delivery and a party of police officers arrive for a retirement do with a sniffer dog in tow.
A crate of olive oil is then delivered and Jacob manages to get the package before leaving the Bistro.
But nothing gets past the sniffer dog who barks at the crate, prompting PC Craig Tinker to head for Jacob’s flat.
In later scenes, Jacob suffers the consequences as Damon gives him a beating.
The situation is dire and Jacob is told that if he wants to protect his girlfriend Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney), he has to leave Weatherfield for good.
Jacob mulls it over and soon tells Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) how Damon is smuggling drugs through the restaurant.
The lad realises he has no choice but to exit Amy’s life as he’s only putting her in danger.
When he hears her enter the flat, Jacob desperately pretends he’s dealing drugs on the phone.
She’s horrified to think he’s up to his old tricks – what will she do?
Will Jacob really leave the Street?
The youngster was initially unwelcome in Amy’s life as her parents couldn’t look past his drug-dealing tendencies.
Jacob worked closely with Harvey Gaskell and even groomed Simon Barlow.
But as mentioned above, he cleaned up his act out of love for Amy, proving he was the perfect boyfriend for her.
Could he backtrack to save her?
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV.
