Jerry Morton is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Michael Starke.

He relied heavily upon his eldest daughter Jodie to care for his younger children – Darryl, Mel, Kayleigh and Finlay – and run the kebab shop, leading to her departure in November that year.

He began a romance with Eileen Grimshaw, which ended after several months when she told him she felt she was becoming a surrogate mother to his children, and had no desire to assume that role.

Disappointed about their decisions but fully understanding, he left Coronation Street on 29 September 2008 with his younger children Kayleigh and Finlay, bound for a new life.

On 14 November, Dev Alahan phoned Jerry in Spain and made him an offer on the Kebab shop and within a week, their transaction was complete.

On the day the sale of Kebab shop went through, it was revealed Jerry had rented Number 6 to Eddie, Anna and Gary Windass, much to the chagrin of Darryl and Teresa.

In February 2007, it was announced in various British media, that actor Michael Starke, best known for playing Thomas "Sinbad" Sweeney in the Channel 4 soap Brookside, would be joining the cast of Coronation Street as part of a new family, the Mortons.
