Coronation Street hardman Jim McDonald is set to make an “explosive” return after being jailed for armed robbery in 2011.

The popular character, first played by actor Charlie Lawson nearly 30 years ago, is due for release and will be back on TV in the coming weeks.

Charlie, 58, revealed: “They wanted me back full time this year but I couldn’t do it as I am doing Rebus on stage, and a thriller. I’m going to film a bit but then will be back again next year.”

A Corrie spokesman said: “Jim is such a hugely popular character. We’re delighted he is coming back for what will be a typically explosive Jim storyline.”

Northern Ireland-born Charlie quit the cobbles after 11 years as Jim, known for his catchphrase “so it is”, in 2000 but returned in 2010.

Kate Oates did that.

Aye, so she did, it's a good move, bringing him back full time, he's been an on and off character for years, would be nice to see him settling back down into the street

Oh no JM&J i can't stand it 'to be sure' why:bawling:

I love our Jim, and how he uses everybody's Sunday names.

Nice to give Liz more of a purpose now she's out of the Rovers, but part of me wants her and Jim running it together.

I think that might eventually happen, Toyah in the Rovers just isnt working lol

YAS king :clap1:
