ITV Coronation Street Jack James Ryan's surprise exit sparks fuming fans to 'switch off'

Coronation Street fans were fuming after a character's surprise exit on tonight's show.

Friday's episode continued to explore Jacob Hay's fractured relationship with his dad, Damon. The character, played by Jack James Ryan, was forced to re-enter the murky world of drug dealing in Wednesday's episode with dire consequences.

Jacob was almost caught red-handed by PC Craig Tinker with the drug package so flushed it down the toilet. In tonight's episode, Damon put more pressure on Jacob as he ordered him to leave the street.

Jacob had recently got his life together as he got a job at the Bistro and is in a steady relationship with Amy Barlow. However, fans were surprised when he followed his villainous dad's commands.

Jacob quit his job and split up with Amy before getting a taxi away from Weatherfield. Viewers following the show on Twitter were fuming after the heartbreaking scenes as they are not ready to say goodbye to Jacob just yet.

One user said: "If this is really the end of Jacob I’m not watching #Corrie anymore"

Russell added: This can’t be the end of Jacob?!"

Tee posted: "JACOB IS MY FAVOURITE - IM GUTTED"

Mitch posted: "Will genuinely be gutted if Jacob has actually left"
