Coronation Street’s Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) is no fan of former drug dealer Jacob Hay (Jack James Ryan), who previously disrupted Steve and Tracy (Kate Ford)’s family by trying to involve Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) in drug dealing and made Leanne (Jane Danson)’s life a living hell.
So it was never going to be easy for him to discover that his precious daughter Amy (Elle Mulvaney) is dating Jacob, even if the news had come out over a civilised family tea (if such a thing exists in Corrie).
Steve is set to find out about his daughter’s new boyfriend in far more dramatic scenes when he and Tracy are called to the hospital. Amy has been rushed in after collapsing in a club on a night out. When they arrive, the shocked parents find their daughter apparently lifeless.
Steve tells Asha (Tanisha Gorey) and Aadi (Adam Hussain), who were with Amy when she collapsed, that blood tests have revealed that Amy had taken GHB. Steve, fairly understandably, accuses Jacob of putting the drug in Amy’s drink.
But is he right about that? A nurse tells them that Amy will be fine, and that whoever put her in the recovery position probably saved her life. Asha reveals that it was Jacob who did that.
Does this mean that Jacob is the hero of the hour, or is Steve right and he’s actually the villain? And how will Steve react when he finds out that Jacob and Amy are a couple?
He’s not going to find it easy to forgive and forget, as Simon Gregson told us.
‘Steve knows all the stuff that Jacob put Simon and Leanne through just after Oliver died. He knows that Jacob is bad, bad news. Steve gets wind that it may not have been Jacob and that Jacob probably saved Amy’s life but there is still absolutely no way that he wants his daughter involved with a little trouble-maker like him.’
