Jerry left Weatherfield in late - 2008 with his daughter Kayleigh and ex - wife ' s son Finlay Bryant , relocating to Spain . Biography . Jerry arrived in Coronation Street with his family in March 2007 , moving into No . 6 and opening Jerry ' s Takeaway , a kebab shop on Victoria Street . He immediately clashed with next door neighbour Gail Platt , as he was constantly playing his music at full volume . He relied heavily upon his eldest daughter Jodie to care for his younger children - Darryl , Mel , Kayleigh and Finlay - and to run the business for him , leading to Jodie ' s departure in November 2007 . Jerry began a romance with Eileen Grimshaw , which ended after several months when she told him she felt she was becoming a surrogate mother to his children , and had no desire to assume that role . Jerry suffered a heart attack in May 2008 , prompting daughter Kayleigh to contact his estranged wife Teresa Bryant . At first Jerry was horrified to see her , but eventually conceded that he needed her help . Teresa moved in with the family , much to Mel ' s displeasure , though swiftly began to outstay her welcome . In a bid to ensure Jerry would not force her to leave , she took control of his medication and began keeping him deliberately ill , forcing him to rely on her . By August 2008 , Teresa ' s tampering had taken its toll and Jerry collapsed , banging his head on the coffee table as he fell and rendering himself unconscious . He was transported to hospital , where his family were informed there was a possibility he may die , though Jerry soon came round at the beginning of September 2008 , and Teresa later confessed her deeds to Jerry . He was horrified by her betrayal . Jerry refused to see his divorced wife Teresa , this eventually led to Mel arresting Teresa for attempted murder . On 26th September 2008 , Jerry told his family that he would like it for them all to move to Spain . After the scandal with Teresa , he yearned for a new start for the sake of his kids and his health . Mel turned down the chance due to her recent qualification as a police officer and Darryl did not want to leave his friends and wanted to run the takeaway . Disappointed about their decisions but fully understanding , Jerry left Coronation Street on 29th September 2008 with his younger children Kayleigh and Finlay bound for a new life . On 14th November , Dev Alahan phoned Jerry in Spain and made him an offer on the business and within a week their transaction was completed . On the day that the sale went through , it was revealed Jerry had rented No . 6 to Eddie and Anna Windass , much to the chagrin of Darryl and Teresa . Darryl left the street in 2009 to join Jerry in Spain . By mid - 2011 , Jerry had decided to sell the house and gave Anna first refusal . Now separated from Eddie and responsible for foster daughter Faye Butler , Anna was upset as she couldn ' t come up with the money , although her friend Owen Armstrong purchased the property , and rented it to Anna so she didn ' t have to move out . This severed any last ties Jerry had with Coronation Street . Quotes . " Oh , good to meet you . Jerry Morton . " ( First line , to Gail Platt ) " And you two , no arguing " ( Final line )
