Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) has always had a hot temper, particularly when he feels anyone in his family is being threatened, and in upcoming episodes of Coronation Street he sees red when his daughter Amy’s drink is spiked on a night out.

Amy is out clubbing with Asha, Aadi and boyfriend Jacob when she starts feeling strange and collapses. Thinking quickly, Jacob puts her in a recovery position and gets the others to call an ambulance.

When Tracy and Steve arrive at the hospital they’re shocked to discover what’s happened, and Steve is even more shocked when Jacob tells him that he and Amy are together.

Even though a nurse reassures them that Amy is going to be fine, and that Jacob’s prompt action probably saved her life, Steve is furious with Jacob, who makes the situation worse for himself as Simon Gregson explains.

‘Jacob starts going on about Oliver and that is just a red rag to a bull for Steve so he hits him!’ he says.

‘Steve’s head is in a bad place and he tells Jacob to leave. When Jacob doesn’t leave, Steve loses his temper and decks him. The guy is bad news, he was a drug dealer and he’s done some terrible things, putting Leanne through absolute hell. Leanne is the mother of Steve’s dead son and the last thing this kid should be doing is mentioning Oliver. Steve feels he is just being a protective dad.’

But will Amy thank him for his ‘protective’ behaviour?
