| - Greig Hodge and his wife Josie are the parents of Jackson Hodge - a former pupil at Weatherfield High and peer of Faye Windass. In March 2015 the family attended a meeting at the school regarding a students' trip to France. Josie briefly chatted with Owen Armstrong, Anna Windass and Faye, unaware that the youngsters had slept together and that Faye was pregnant as a result. The baby was born a month later and Anna, now fully appraised of the situation, asked the Hodges round to the flat where she broke the news to them. Jackson denied he was the father and his parents backed him up. The conversation became rancorous when Josie made comments about Faye's morals and Anna threw them out. At Miley's christening service held during the following month, things got too much for Faye and she ran out of the church. After Faye's father, Tim Metcalfe, cancelled the christening, Josie and Greig suggested that they looked after Miley. Tim disagreed with the idea initially, but he later invited them to 4 Coronation Street to talk and said that he would talk things through with Anna and Faye. Anna rejected the idea of Miley going to live with the Hodges, but she accompanied Tim on a visit to their house. Josie and Greig offered Anna and Tim a cheque for Miley's expenses for the past few months but Anna wasn't happy with what they were implying. Josie persuaded Anna to stay as they just wanted a chance to care for Miley. The Hodges took Miley to Canada in September, apparently for a holiday. However Tim and Anna soon discovered that they had actually moved there with no intention of returning. In March 2017 the Hodge family returned for a two-week stay in the United Kingdom so Greig could undergo a hip operation at Weatherfield General. While Jackson was playing with Miley the pair were spotted by Faye, who had gone to the hospital to have an infection looked at on a tattoo she had recently got. Jackson told Faye about his father's operation and stated that his family would be returning to Canada soon. The character was portrayed by actor Stuart Wolfenden, twenty-three years after he appeared on the programme as garage mechanic Mark Casey.
