Jack Webster (Kyran Bowes) has found himself in hot water in recent Coronation Street scenes after admitting to starting a fire in Stefan Brent’s office.
When step-mum Abi Webster (Sally Carman) began to suspect his involvement, dad Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) did everything he could to try and keep him off DS Lisa Swain’s (Vicky Myers) radar.
However, Jack ended up turning himself in, and will face questioning from the detective in upcoming scenes.
Born in 2010, Jack has been involved in a number of huge storylines, from the truth about his paternity to becoming an amputee when he lost his leg due to sepsis.
Jack’s family life has been unsettled over the years, especially after the loss of his mum – but who was she?
Who was Jack Webster’s mum?
Jack Webster is the son of Molly Dobbs.
When Jack was born in 2010, Molly was married to Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall), and he spent the first few months of his life believing he was the father.
However, Molly had been having an affair with Tyrone’s best friend, Kevin. At Jack’s christening, Kevin stole his dummy in order to have his DNA tested, and he soon discovered that Jack was actually his son.
Molly was devastated that he had done the test behind her back, and was later encouraged by the late Jack Duckworth to either move away with Tyrone or leave him if she didn’t truly love him.
When Molly ultimately decided to leave Tyrone, he refused to let her take Jack away, which was when Molly dropped the bombshell that he wasn’t his son.
Hours later, she was caught in the famous Corrie tram crash, and found herself trapped in the Corner Shop.
With Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) by her side, she confessed that Kevin was actually Jack’s father, before sadly dying as a result of her injuries.
Who played Molly Dobbs?
Molly Dobbs was played by actress Vicky Binns.
She first appeared in the role in 2005, and spent fiver years on the cobbles until the character’s death in 2010, during the 50th anniversary live episode.
Vicky also appeared in Emmerdale as Ollie Reynolds, between 1999 and 2003.
Since leaving Coronation Street, she has also starred in Casualty, Doctors and an episode of Black Mirror.
During lockdown, she turned her hand to teaching when theatres were forced to close.
