Coronation Street fans have been left baffled as they wondered if a character had been given a 'head transplant' as they made a reappearance. It's not the first time viewers of the ITV soap have question if the actor who plays Jack Webster has been swapped between appearances.
Last year, the schoolboy discovered that he was born as a result of an affair. Mechanic Kevin had an affair with colleague and neighbour Tyrone Dobbs' late partner Molly while he was married to Sally Metcalfe, which resulted in Molly giving birth to his Jack. But Molly tragically died on the cobbles in 2010, with Tyrone believing Jack to be his.
She lost her life after she and her son became trapped in the shop following the street's horror tram crash. As Jack was rushed to hospital, Sally waited with Molly as emergency services attempted to free her. It is then that the truth came out as during her final moments, she revealed to Sally that Kevin is Jack’s father.

During the last trip to the cobbles on Tuesday night (January 2), Jack, played by Kyran Bowes, was heard discussing cars at his dad's garage. But his appearance came as a surprise, again due to his age, with some thinking the actor had been swapped for a new one.

@corriepodcast joked: "It's 2024 so that means Jack is in his mid 20s now.
