When landlord Peter Barlow discovered that Tony had rigged the flat's electricity supply he demanded his money back, and Eileen ordered Tony to leave her house. Shortly after breaking his leg in a car accident, Tony was thrown out by Merle and he moved into No.11 with Eileen, although she quickly tired of having him around.

In July, Tony and Jason rewired Jason's brother Todd's flat so that the electricity ran from Barlow's Bookies downstairs. During this period Tony and Eileen became involved in a war to win over Jason's affections, and battled against each other. Eileen was pleased when Jason turned down another offer to have a drink and hang out with Tony, instead opting to take the new car she had purchased for him out for a test drive. After much pressure, Tony persuaded an upset Jason to move back home. Merle wasn't happy as it was her house and demanded that Tony got rid of Jason but he couldn't bring himself to do so. After moving out of 11 Coronation Street, Jason turned up at Tony and Merle's house and much to their horror, announced his intentions of staying with them. A row soon ensued as Jason accused her of not giving Tony a chance. Tony decided to help Jason by getting him a job at the building site he worked on, but Eileen didn't trust Tony and tried to warn Jason away from him. Jason agreed to meet his father for a drink and the pair got along well. He later later bumped into Jason at Roy's Rolls and Tony attempted to convince his son to talk to him.

In March 2003, Tony crossed paths with Eileen and Jason when out drinking with his girlfriend Merle Jackson at the Rovers in Coronation Street. Tony maintained little contact over the years and did not play much of a part in his son's life, leaving Eileen to bear most of the responsibilities.

Tony had rarely much to do with his family and Eileen quickly moved on with her life. 1.3 2014-2015: Dealings with Tracy and Callumīorn on 14th March 1966, Tony and Eileen had a short-term relationship in the early 1980s which resulted in the birth of Jason in June 1983.Callum had in fact been killed by Kylie Platt when he tried to rape Sarah, but Todd Grimshaw managed to pin the crime on Tony, keeping the Platts out of prison at the cost of Tony's good name. After his death, Tony was implicated in the murder of gangster Callum Logan the year before. Tony moved to Birmingham, and passed away five months later alone in his flat from a suspected heart attack. After Liz got revenge on Tony by tricking him into signing the Rovers back to Steve, she disgraced him in front of the residents and he left the area, humiliated. Tony also had an affair with Tracy behind his girlfriend Liz McDonald's back, and tricked Steve McDonald into selling his half of the Rovers Return as part of a plot to con the McDonalds out of the pub. An electrician and businessman, he made extra money through dodgy deals, using Barlow's Buys to shift his gear and later having the premises burgled in order to manipulate Tracy Barlow into handing over half of the business to him. Tony returned for a longer spell in Weatherfield in 2014. Jason came to realise that his father was no saint, but nevertheless kept in touch with him. Father and son crossed paths in 2003 when Jason was grown up, but Tony was only in Weatherfield for a short while and disappeared after letting Eileen take the blame for a theft that he had committed. Tony was absent from much of Jason's life, leaving his ex-partner Eileen Grimshaw to raise him. Tony Stewart is the late father of Jason Grimshaw.
