Coronation Street: Ollie Driscoll arrested, faces prison after Jake incident

The Driscoll family in Coronation Street are set to face another major ordeal as Ollie Driscoll (Raphael Akuwudike) is arrested on suspicion of assault, with a high chance he could go to prison.

The trouble begins when Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) gets drunk at the pub, believing her relationship with George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) is ending because he has barely been in touch while away. After drinking too much, Christina topples over in the ginnel, where Jake Windass (Bobby Bradshaw) spots her, pours water all over her, and films the whole thing on his phone.

Ollie intervenes and is arrested

As Jake pours the water, Ollie shouts at him to stop. Jake rushes through the ginnel, forcing Ollie to race after him. Christina and Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) then find Ollie with Jake pinned to the floor. Christina shouts at Ollie, telling him that Jake only used water, and a mortified Ollie releases him.

In the aftermath, Jake's dad Gary Windass (Mikey North) tells his son it is important to be honest when making his statement to the police. Meanwhile, Christina and Glenda assure Ollie he acted in good faith, but that doesn't help when PC Jess Heywood arrives and arrests him on suspicion of assault.

Family fears prison sentence

With Ollie potentially facing a custodial sentence, dad Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker) tells Gary there is a high chance his son might go to prison. Jake listens into their chat, totally awash with guilt.

Whether Jake will tell the truth and reveal what really happened so Ollie can return home remains to be seen.
