Jed Stone was in 'Coronation Street' from 1961-66. He was a petty criminal who became a surrogate son for Minnie Caldwell. He came to the street to entice Dennis Tanner back into a life of crime, but had a quick personality change to endear him to Minnie's heart. He was full of get-rich-quick schemes which always seemed to backfire, he ran a market stall, opened an auction room, a boarding kennels and stored old waxworks. His attempts at romance - with Jean Stark and Doreen Lostock - were even less successful than his business ventures. In 1966, he was arrested for handling stolen goods and sent to prison for nine months.
