After another confrontation between them, Danny "signed" everything over to Jamie and disappeared. Jamie told Violet about the affair with Frankie after she told him that she was pregnant, leaving her horrified. With Danny still missing, Jamie and Frankie planned to move to Spain, bound for a new life, and Jamie quit his job at King's Robes. However, on New Year's Eve, Frankie changed her mind and left Weatherfield alone. Following his split from Frankie, Jamie was employed at local cab firm StreetCars by Steve McDonald. Jamie disapproved of Sean Tully, who was homosexual, and Violet's plan to have a baby but eventually apologized for his attitude; however, when Jamie invited Violet to join him at Carol's wedding, there was an obvious attraction. Jamie and Violet later reconciled and planned to raise her and Sean's baby together. Following the baby's birth, they planned to leave Weatherfield and raise baby Dylan in London, excluding Sean. Violet then proposed to Jamie, who accepted, before filling the car with their belongings set to leave.
