Profile

Thomas Edward "Ed" Jackson was a fictional character in Britain's longest running soap Coronation Street, played first by Dave Parke in 1978, then by Chris Walker on the character's return to the show in 2005.

On his arrival, Ed befriended Emily Bishop at church and began dating Eileen Grimshaw. Ed divulged to Emily his prison background and subsequently revealed to Emily that he was responsible for the death of Emily's husband Ernest. Emily expressed her disgust at this revelation and born again Christian Ed dramatically contemplated suicide, but Emily forgave him upon finding out his plan. She gave him Ernest's old camera, and made him promise to send her a photograph of himself every year to show her he was alive and well. With that Ed left Weatherfield.
