Coronation Street fans were left both emotional and inspired as young actor Kyran Bowes, who plays Jack Webster, shared a personal milestone that had the entire cast rallying around him with heartfelt support.

The talented teen star took to social media this week to reveal an emotional achievement that marked a turning point in his personal life — and it wasn’t long before his Corrie co-stars and fans alike flooded the comments with messages of praise and encouragement. Bowes, known for portraying Jack with incredible depth and maturity despite his age, revealed that he had completed his GCSEs with top marks — a feat made even more impressive given his demanding filming schedule on the iconic ITV soap.

In a touching post, Kyran thanked his family, friends, and the Coronation Street crew for helping him balance school and acting over the past few years. “It’s been a tough journey, trying to manage filming and revision, but I’m so proud of how far I’ve come,” he wrote. “There were days I didn’t think I’d get through it, but I did. This one’s for every young person chasing a dream while hitting the books!”

The actor’s followers were quick to applaud his dedication, and fans were particularly moved by comments from his onscreen family. Sally Carman, who plays Abi Webster, posted, “You absolute legend! We’re all so proud of you, Kyran. Jack would be too! 💙” Meanwhile, Alan Halsall, who portrays Jack’s dad Tyrone Dobbs (and previously Kevin Webster’s best mate), added, “Big love to you, mate — you smashed it!”

Even cast members outside of his immediate storyline chimed in. Elle Mulvaney (Amy Barlow) commented, “Clever and talented — can’t wait to see what’s next for you!” while Mollie Gallagher (Nina Lucas) simply wrote, “STAR. 🌟”

Kyran’s success resonates far beyond his grades. The young actor has been widely praised for his portrayal of Jack, especially during the emotional storyline in which the character lost part of his leg due to sepsis. Viewers and critics alike commended Bowes’ sensitivity and strength in handling such a challenging subject matter, and many noted that his performance brought awareness and compassion to real-world medical struggles.

Now, with his academic success in hand, Bowes is reportedly looking forward to new opportunities — though he’s made it clear he’s not going anywhere just yet. A spokesperson for Coronation Street confirmed that Kyran will continue his role as Jack, with “some major storylines ahead” as the character navigates teenage life in Weatherfield.

The show’s executive producer, Iain MacLeod, also released a short statement congratulating Kyran: “We are all incredibly proud of Kyran’s achievements both on and off screen. His professionalism, kindness, and talent make him a joy to work with, and this milestone is just another testament to his drive.”

It’s not often that a soap star grows up before the nation’s eyes, but viewers have watched Jack Webster transform from a young child to a young man — and Kyran Bowes has played a crucial role in making that transformation believable and heartfelt.

Fans online were just as thrilled. One tweeted, “Kyran Bowes is proof that you can chase your dreams and stay grounded. He deserves every bit of success.” Another wrote, “Watching him grow up on Corrie has been so emotional — now I feel like a proud auntie!”

As Coronation Street continues its legacy of launching young talent, Kyran Bowes stands as a shining example of dedication, resilience, and heart. Whether he’s delivering a powerful performance on-screen or acing exams behind the scenes, there’s no doubt he’s one to watch.

And if the warm reaction from his co-stars is anything to go by, Kyran Bowes isn’t just part of the Corrie cast — he’s part of the family.
