Coronation Street - Goodbye Jack

Jack Duckworth's final, heartbreaking scenes from Coronation Street as he died peacefully in Vera's chair.
As he slips in and out of conciousness Jack has one final dance with Vera to a song performed by Bill Tarmey himself.
So, goodbye Jack, the Cobbles will always be speckled with tears and the hear of your call "my little swamp duck" [Vera]. You'll always be remembered.

I miss a lot of the older characters: Jack, Vera, Betty, Blanche, Becky.... I hope that Ken comes back.

[@Marcusnintendofan]

but Dierdre has sadly passed away. My favourite Corrie character of all time

[@Marcusnintendofan]

No shit… Haha of course I know it's Anne Kirkbride. We were referring to the characters. RIP Annie

[@Cherlippy]

Tyrone's realisation of the situation was the most emotional part for me

[@kiwifiona68]

Oh dear god, Tyrone murmurs, "Goodbye Dad". That just managed to break my heart.

[@bigphil25]

R.I.P. Bill Tarmey absolute legend of a man. Coronation Street born and bred.

[@johnrider5701]

Goodbye to Jack and Vera two much missed and extremely well loved characters .

[@rlough1980]

Quite possibly the best way anyone has ever been written out of a soap. It was great that Jack and Vera were reunited one final time.

[@emmaanderson6749]

To the people who gave it thumbs down you are sad :(

[@regishel]

thumbs down for losing Jack. thumbs down for making someone sad. There are many reasons to thumbs down.

[@ldg1985]

I cry EVERY time I see this scene. Not just because of the touching way it's been done, but because of my love for Jack and Vera. Having watched them since I was a kid, they were almost like TV grandparents. Beautiful scene played out by two fantastic legends!

[@cmdfarsight]

You don't get couples like Jack & Vera anymore in soaps. They were great characters in the same mould as Hilda and Stan. Despite all jacks cheating ways with other women, especially as Vince StClair, they (he and V) still stayed together and got old together.

[@samuelthompson2597]

possibly one of the best characters ever in coronation street u'll be missed buddy :(

[@bigs31uk]

jack you were never afraid to have a good laugh may you rest in peace..

[@83hayleigh]

i love the fact that they are playing bill tarmey singing wind beneath my wings in the background at the rovers

[@kayleighvarey9496]

I never even supported his charactor but even this brought tears to my eyes. the way he knows he's going to go and is reunited for the last time. lovely.

[@RogerFederer715]

This epitimizes why Coronation Street is so special

[@IATM29]

RIP Bill Tarmey you were a true Corrie legend

[@MirageMusicUk]

R.I.P. Bill Tarmey..Best Character In Corrie End Of.

[@xxleannebabyxx]

I don't watch Corrie but my nan and mum always did and jack and Vera where corrie this seen has just had me in tears

[@Ilovesimpsons07]

The bit where Jack's standing on the street is fantastic. The modern music blaring out as he realizes how much the world has changed around him

[@fluffypolarcat]

It's the only time I ever cried while watching Coronation Street.

[@Michaelweber504]

I missed this since I moved to New Orleans. Thank you for posting. Now, I need a good cry! LOL

[@michaelcarr697]

I cried when I watched that. God rest Bill.

[@TashaaLouise]

[@kyliemadxx]

R.I.P Bill so sad a great actor

[@retsilagnilooc]

Damnit Jack. Damnit Vera. Damnit Tyrone. I watched this just now and I'm in floods of tears!

[@WatTyler13]

I don't even watch Corrie but that had me in floods of tears. Just reminded me of my dad going. RIP Bill Tarmey.

[@chriseasdon3536]

gem of a man

[@ianoian1]

I was working overseas when this episode was broadcast so never saw it. But I have just viewed it now and, yes, very tearful. We shall all miss you, Jack (Bill), you were one of the all-time great soap stars . . . RIP, man!

[@emilylouisa7090]

Cry every time❤️

[@annegriffin9844]

I've been watching Corrie for over 40 years and this is the only scene that had me in tears.

[@watifistickmycokinit]

[@jakehamilton9352]

Thank you, Bill. RIP

[@pw7780759]

The best exit form a soap ever! So well written and directed. So sad but also so happy. Loved it.

[@Glassy967]

fitting song played in the background softly as i leave you matt monro

[@THIRV]

@THIRV for me this was so brilliantly done. Feels like we have lost jack twice now. But his legend lives on.

[@sexysmooch123]

R.I.P Great Actor! x

[@MsColachick]

Haven't watch Coro in years, but I did see this scene and it made me cry. RIP Bill

[@YTAishok]

R.I.P Bill.

[@Bigtooly]

[@Gulftastic]

Farewell Bill. RIP.

[@wraggyblade1889]

R.I.P BILL...

[@KatMEW93Productions]

R.I.P Bill 3 3 xxxx

[@QuackersAhoy]

I'm a big built 6ft offshore rigger who isn't phased by a damn thing, but this reduced me to a quivering, bubbly mess. When he was dancing with Vera, the tears were rolling down my cheeks, my missus thought I was taking the p**s but nope, It was such an emotional exit. They were the heart and soul of Corrie imo and it was a great loss to the show when they both departed

[@emmadins7069]

makes you think aout loved ones who have passed before their husbands and wifes after many years of marriage and happiness. Dont know why I decied to search it up. crushed me.

[@cindymueller966]

for anyone that doesn't get the whole Vera appearing thing, he was tired, she came to "bring him home". I thought it was a beautiful way to do it. Who knows what happens when we take our last earthly breath?

[@wetlips61]

R.I.P Bill , you made me laugh so much loved you with lovely memories off my childhood thank you xx

[@chriseasdon3536]

rest in peace bill

[@1966nz]

Good night Dad.

[@tomosedwards4837]

[@NeonMedia]

Cheers Gaz, our work at ITV is done. Can we also wish Liz Dawn (Vera) a speedy recovery.

[@millie1842]

[@MrScottyk90]

r.i.p bill tarmey

[@mattyb216]

RIP Bill

[@Calfaeairdrie]

@thecandy118 I cry at the bit where he sleeps on the chair as it reminds me of my Papa who died 7 years ago. The scene where they say about phone an ambulance gets me.

[@UglyGeezer]

Goodbye chuck

[@DEC19775]

GOOD BYE TO A TRUE LEGAND

[@algonquingirl9278]

r.i.p liz dawn

[@alexrobinson4802]

[@maxspank]

RIP :(

[@MultiChocolateButton]

[@neilphilp9210]

me too mate. Mind watching this with the wife and being in tears. Great scene

[@reecesmith4038]

goodbye

[@DEC19775]

Tyrone was the son jack never had

[@11gringo]

This is NOT unrealistic because it has been said it is possible that a loved one who has passed away comes for you just before you die to help u on you passage through to the other side that is of course if u believe in the afterlife.

[@carolannbagan3562]

wouldn't have work had vera not come back for him.

[@nathaliegrieves3859]

Jack and Vera they made coronation street 😊

[@bigoz145]

RIP

[@Harrysound]

R.I.P Jack Duckworth ....he's actually dead for real!

[@BenKellyMusic92]

Quite a good singer, isn't he? :)

[@TheJeT1121]

How spooky is this... he died exactly 2 years after his death scene was aired on Coronation street.

[@kiwifiona68]

He's dreaming about her as he lays dying...

[@THIRV]

the final scene with jack and Vera too soap opera to new territory, challenging us to think of what happens when we die. For ,

[@rhythmictiger]

Yes, well, for Coronation Street that is a heartwrenching poignant send off. It might be tripe, but at least it's good old fashioned British tripe. Now get soused have a bangers and mash and watch it again. p.s. only jokin love

[@thecandy118]

@stefansmom Every time I watch this I cry, reminds me of my gran who sadly passed away.

[@charlottehugill4006]

It is sort of Ironic and spooky how he then died in real life exactly 2 years after this scene broadcasted In Coronation street Rip Bill/Jack.

[@DEC19775]

LEGAND

[@TheHeman3]

MARK HULSE Legend*

[@pollycannon1916]

love the music, may I have this dance??

[@QueensSpeechUK]

It sounds daft I know, but I hope it's like this for my dad when he passes - my mum coming to take him to the bus...stupid, soppy, sentimental, I know but I loved this scene

[@LuraienLP]

If anyone has the alternate episode where Jack gets his head cut off by a saw blade, please upload it!!!

[@LloydDutch]

Very sad, generally I hate Corrie, but this episode was very mooving, and made me cry.

[@charlottebowers1742]

Bye bye

[@NeonMedia]

@quest1931 He was written out as the actor who played him (Bill Tarmey) wanted to leave the soap.

[@alberttatlock5237]

Jack giving out advice after he spent most of his life making veras life hell with his constant cheating and treating her like a piece of crap. He once tried to set ken barlow up for a kicking and even offered to help for the price of a pint. The lowest of the low

[@THEG1LFAM1LY]

Why must they hurt us like this?

[@bobzta3000]

@txmedialtd iv notcied that 2 and i was like what the hell its on ITV not Channel 5
