Yes - when Tony came to dispose of him there were stirrings in the laundry basket. Jed was alive. Tony bribed him with a brand new flat in a distant town and told him never to show his face in Weatherfield again. However, as Maria had been accusing Tony of murdering Jed (cos Tony told her he had, and Maria told the police) Tony went and fetched Jed and set up an accidental meeting in the Rovers between Maria and Jed in front of everybody in the Rovers. Jed and Sony Jim the cat were then bundled back into Tony's car and transported back to the new flat.
Carla unfortunately came out of the Rovers whilst and heard Jed and Tony arguing outside the Rovers and became suspicious. Hence she can now leave Tony to go and have her baby in real life (but apparently will return - only to find that Tony has been having an affair with ....................... guess who?)
