  • John Harold "Jack" Duckworth was the husband of the late Vera and father of Terry. The Duckworths lived at 9 Coronation Street from 1983 until 2010, although Jack and Vera also owned and lived at the Rovers Return Inn from 1995 to 1998. Jack loved beer, his pigeons, and gambling, but most of all he loved his moments away from Vera; despite their obvious love for each other Jack and Vera were always rowing and, in the early years of the marriage, playing away. Despite being no pushover, Jack could appear to be under battleaxe Vera's thumb as he usually let her have her way so he could have peace and quiet. However, they were one of the Street's strongest couples as they were always down-on-their-luck and when times were hard (which they always were) they closed ranks. This was true particularly where their son Terry was concerned. Like Jack, Terry was a bit of a jack-the-lad, but Terry had little regard for other people and used them for his own ends. The Duckworths suffered as Vera always believed that Terry was turning over a new leaf, only for Terry to abuse her faith and hurt her, leaving Jack to pick up the pieces. Jack was never fooled but usually gave him a chance for Vera's sake. Another area where Jack didn't have much luck was work. After a few years working as a taxi driver, Jack got a job as a cellarman at the Rovers in 1985. A layabout, Jack didn't enjoy cellar work and he often had to put up with being the butt of the other staff's jokes. Ten years later, the Duckworths dream came true when they used money they inherited after Jack's brother Clifford died to buy the Rovers, but the endeavour was not successful and the couple were bought out by Alec Gilroy in 1997. After some time running Park Road B&B, the Duckworths returned to No.9. They spent the later years of their lives playing surrogate parents to Tyrone Dobbs, who became more of a son to them than Terry had been. They were planning to retire to Blackpool, as their grandson Tommy lived there, but Vera died in her sleep in 2008 and Jack decided to stay in Weatherfield. He passed away in 2010 after contracting Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, having spent the last year of his life living with fellow pigeon-lover Connie Rathbone (although they were just friends).
