Both Jack and Tina first joined the cast of Corrie way back in 2000, with both actors going on to land some major storylines in the last two decades.
Jack, who won a British Soap Award for Best Actor in 2018, has seen his character David suffer a rape ordeal, try to kill his mother Gail, and have his wife Kylie die in his arms on the street.
Meanwhile, Tina's character Sarah had a teenage pregnancy, as well as being kidnapped by her step-father Richard Hillman.
