Coronation Street / vera Duckworth

Unfortunately, Terry had other ideas, and on Christmas Eve 1993 he told Jack and Vera that he had sold Tommy to Lisa's parents Jeff and Doreen Horton. Vera was heartbroken at losing the grandson she had bonded with so closely and a furious Jack punched Terry and disowned him for his disgraceful actions.

ack and Vera took care of Tommy in Blackpool in July 2000 while the Hortons were away and the following month Jeff turned up in Weatherfield and left Tommy in the care of the Duckworths again as Doreen had left him for another man. While Tyrone Dobbs was minding Tommy at the garage, Doreen turned up and snatched him but Tyrone then successfully snatched him back and brought him to Jack and Vera where he wanted to stay. When Jeff and Doreen turned up and announced they had reunited, the Duckworths were forced to hand Tommy over once more.
