Jack Webster Jack Webster ( né Dobbs ) is the son of Kevin Webster and the late Molly Dobbs , although it was initially believed that Molly ' s husband Tyrone was his father . Biography . Kevin had rejected the idea of bringing a child up with Molly , so Molly decided to give her marriage to Tyrone another try by telling him that he was the father . Molly went into labour on 6th September 2010 while Tyrone was out at work . Kevin ' s wife Sally realised that Molly was soon to give birth at home and had to deliver the baby herself . The baby was named after Jack Duckworth . At Jack ' s christening , Kevin and Sally were named godparents . Kevin stole one of Jack ' s dummies in order to have a DNA test . He confronted Molly with the evidence that he was indeed Jack ' s father . Over the following weeks , Molly found the pressure of the deception too much and realised that she felt no love for Tyrone . On 6th December 2010 , she left Tyrone , telling him that he wasn ' t Jack ' s father . On her way to the bus stop , Molly took Jack into the Corner Shop . While they were inside the shop , a tram derailed and crashed into the shop . Molly died but Jack was relatively unharmed . At his mother ' s funeral , Jack ' s true parentage was revealed and a disgusted Tyrone gave Jack to Kevin to raise . Kevin took Jack into his family home at 4 Coronation Street , even though his marriage to Sally had ended . After Christmas 2010 , Jack and his father moved into a flat near to the Street . In September 2011 , Kevin realised that he would need to apply for parental responsibility in order to change Jack ' s surname to " Webster " for his passport , and Tyrone ' s name was finally removed from the child ' s birth certificate in December of the same year . Between 2012 and March 2013 , Kevin and Jack lived at 13 Coronation Street , before moving back to No . 4 to allow the Price family to move in temporarily following the Rovers ' fire . They flew to Germany the following month to be with Kevin ' s father Bill who had recently suffered a massive heart attack and returned almost a year later on 21st March 2014 . In 2015 Jack began to bond with his father ' s new girlfriend Jenny Bradley . Jenny however , was obsessed with Jack due to the death of her young son a few years earlier and became too concerned for his safety . Jenny devised a plot to abduct Jack and move him in with her at a new flat . This was uncovered by Maddie Heath who attempted to alert Jack ' s sister Sophie but was killed after being caught in an explosion at the Builder ' s Yard during the Victoria Court fire . During Maddie ' s funeral Jenny took Jack and left with him in a cab . She took him to an apartment in Hull where she planned to stay with him . Jenny wanted him to celebrate her deceased son ' s birthday with her , but Jack was more interested in seeing his dad . Jenny was upset by Jack ' s disinterest , so she called Rita Tanner and asked her to come and meet her . Jenny briefly contemplated jumping off a balcony with Jack , but changed her mind and returned Jack to Kevin and Sophie . Jack started at Bessie Street School in September 2015 . When Jenny returned in early 2016 , Sophie instantly suspected that Jenny would try to abduct Jack again . Jack briefly went missing and was found with Jenny , therefore leading Kevin to suspect that she had once again tried to abduct him . However , he later found out that Jack had actually wandered off and Jenny was trying to return him home . In May 2016 , Jack was taken to Blackpool with Kevin and Tim Metcalfe . They were later joined by Sally Metcalfe and Sophie Webster as Sally wanted to save her marriage to Tim . During an argument in a cafe on The North Pier , Jack ran from the cafe and out into the path of an incoming tram . Jenny Bradley and Johnny Connor spotted him and Jenny grabbed Jack , rescuing him before the tram hit him . Sophie accused Jenny of following him again but later thanked her when she realised she was mistaken about Jenny ' s motives .
