I reckon he will likely stick around and become a regular but I would be reluctant to change him over to a regular just now.

ITV announcing the casting doesn't necessarily mean the character will be around long term as characters such as Tim Richards, Ashley's girlfriend in 2014 (Carole?) and Ryan Harred were all announced by ITV and they didn't stick around.

Also, changing him over to a regular may constitute a spoiler. Looking back, Jessie probably was classed as a regular too soon.
