List of Coronation Street Characters (2009) - Jake Harman

Jake Harman is a character played by Kenny Doughty, his character is a love interest for Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh). He makes his on-screen debut on 28 October 2009, when Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) hires him to fix Michelle's roof. However, he falls from the ladder and Michelle has to get out of the bath to stop him from falling. In the midst of their encounter, Michelle's towel drops, much to her embarrassment. Jake soon kisses her and a shocked Michelle gets rid of him.

The next day, Jake tries the same trick again and Michelle has him arrested. Meanwhile, Dev refuses to pay for Jake's work on the roof, leading to Jake removing half the tiles from Dev's own roof. In an attempt to go on a date with Michelle, he opts to "return the favour" and goes into the Rover Return, wearing just a towel - threatening to drop it if she declines his invitation, Michelle agrees and later goes on a date after she admits she overreacted. Jake then gets a job offer in Cumbria and Michelle, although tempted, doesn't join him.

Jake returns on New Year's Eve to take Michelle out on one last date together to a hotel as he announces that he would be leaving soon to do a job away from Manchester
