Coronation Street: What happened to Jacob?
Last week, Jacob revealed to Simon that he had been taking pills from Harvey and selling them on the side.
However, Harvey found out about what Jacob had done. Later he confronted Simon, asking if he knew about Jacob stealing from him.
Simon denied it and Harvey revealed he had put Jacob in the hospital.
Meanwhile, Kelly Neelan fell unconscious after taking a pill Simon had sold her. Knowing Harvey would also put him in hospital if he found out he had been selling his stock, he wanted to flee Weatherfield.
However Leanne convinced him to stay, saying she would sort things. But will Harvey let Simon and Leanne go so easily?
Coronation Street airs on Mondays and Wednesdays 7.30pm and 8.30pm with an hour long episode at 7.30 on Fridays on ITV.
