Fans of Coronation Street were ecstatic to see Elle Mulvaney, who plays Amy Barlow, posing with a beloved cobblestone a year after leaving the serial opera.
Elle Mulvaney, who plays Amy Barlow on Coronation Street, has made fans happy by posing with a beloved cobbler a year after their departure from the ITV serial opera.
Elle, 21, recently posted a picture of herself and her former on-screen love interest, Jack James Ryan’s character, Jacob Hay, on Instagram as they had a day out in London. James Craven, a previous co-star who portrayed Aaron Sandford, also accompanied the group on their enjoyable outing. Elle wrote, “@thamesrockets getting the gang back together (minus @harrietanneb).” in the caption.
Soap fans will recall that actor Jack left the cobbles back in 2023 as his character Jacob left Weatherfield. The soap character left in emotional scenes as he was forced out of Weatherfield by his evil dad Damon Hay. Jacob had been dragged back into his father’s criminal world after Damon used The Bistro for a drug delivery, only for it all to go wrong.
Damon forced Jacob to take the fall for the drug scandal to everyone, including his girlfriend Amy – with Damon threatening to hurt him and Amy if he didn’t leave straight away. Soap watchers were left gutted over Jacob’s exit at the time as he had become a fan favourite thanks to turning his life around prior to Damon’s meddling.
Responding to Elle’s reunion post, fans and co-stars – both past and present – were quick to react. Alex Bain, who played Simon Barlow, wrote: “Awww hope you all had a fantastic time” while Harriet Bibby, who plays Summer Spellman, put: “My people” with a heart. One fan wrote: “Fab pics x”, another put: “Great pics. Need the whole quartet back together” while another added: “Great photo of you all, hope you had the best time x.”
After actor Jack’s final episode aired, the star called the departure “heartbreaking” as he explained what led to him leaving the role. Following talks with bosses about what would be coming up next for his character, Jack decided it was time to move on and try other things.
It comes as Jack recently struggled to contain his joy after landing a job alongside a huge star. The former Coronation Street and Passenger actor, 27, took to his Instagram account to reveal he had been “geeking” over Sheridan Smith for “as long” as he can remember. Now, the star has bagged himself a role opposite the former Gavin and Stacey actress in a huge new ITV drama I Fought The Law.
