Kelly (Millie Gibson) will soon start sleeping rough after a frightening encounter at her supported living accommodation.

Later in the week, the dealer returns again, but Jacob steps in to send him packing.
While Jacob seems to have saved the day, Kelly's new ally Stu Carpenter (Bill Fellows) isn't too impressed.
Stu recognises Jacob as a dodgy character in his own right, so orders him to sling his hook.
Corrie fans were introduced to Jacob in February, when he befriended Simon (Alex Bain) and lured him into the dark world of drugs.

Jacob also made Simon's mum Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) miserable by taking over her flat and insulting her, leaving her powerless in her own home.
The story ultimately took a turn when Jacob's boss Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) discovered that he'd been betraying him.
When Harvey caught out Jacob for taking drugs from his supplies and selling them on separately, he retaliated by putting him in hospital.
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Friday, November 26 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
