Coronation Street's Jason Grimshaw will take centre stage in an exciting new storyline after he gets a windfall of money.

Jason will learn that his dad Tony Stewart has left him £80,000 following his death, forcing him to make some big decisions about his future.

It was announced last month that Tony will be killed off-screen in a tragedy that will devastate his son Jason, who later attends his funeral.

However, The Sun reports that Tony's death is set to spark a series of explosive new storylines for a newly-rich Jason, which will eventually lead to his exit later this year.

Ryan Thomas confirmed last year that he would be bowing out of the soap, after 15 years of playing the builder.

Coronation Street's Jason Grimshaw will go off the rails later this month after his father Tony Stewart tragically dies.

Tony, who was last seen on our screens in November, passes away off screen following a suspected heart attack.

Jason (Ryan Thomas) and Eileen are both shellshocked when police arrive on the cobbles to break the devastating news, especially when they reveal that Tony may have lain dead for three days without anyone knowing.

As it all starts to sink in, Jason decides that he blames Liz McDonald for Tony's sad demise. It's just the grief talking, but he convinces himself that if it wasn't for Liz, Tony would have still been living near his family and they could have saved him.

Unfortunately, this turns out to be just the start of a big downward spiral for Jason. He becomes even more upset after facing the tough task of packing up Tony's belongings at his flat, as well as picking out a suit for him to be buried in.

After the tough day, Eva Price and Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward) try their best to comfort a grief-stricken Jason back at The Rovers, but he soon turns against them and gives Aidan a violent shove. Is Jason's anger spiralling out of control?
