Coronation Street's Jim McDonald will be left badly bruised and beaten by builder Owen Armstrong.

The Sun reports that Jim, played by returning actor Charles Lawson, will fight for Liz's affections once again in a storyline this autumn.

However, Owen (Ian Puleston-Davies) will find himself on the receiving end of Jim's acid tongue after Liz (Bev Callard) can't help but show feelings towards him.

"Jim and Liz might be divorced but it's clear there is a spark between them which will never go out," a source said. "Even though she loves Jim back, Liz has accepted they'll never make each other happy. Jim is jealous and creates problems between them.

"These tactics might have worked with her ex-husband Vernon Tomlin but they won't work with Owen, and he gets his builder mates to duff him up. He's left in a really bad way."

Jim is a legend! I always like to see him return.

Can't understand why Steve's brother Andy doesn't come back because he was quite a good actor tbh.

[Scarlett.]

Andy did come back last year for Steve's second wedding

^ Yeah but I mean permanently! What else has he been on?! He's not exactly inundated with roles is he?

As long as there are no more relatives of Becky Grainger, I refuse to class her as a McDonald even though it's her married name LOL.

[Scarlett.]

That Owen is an a**hole!! Liz deserves better!

We have already seen his nasty streak, with having a go at poor Jason & docking him half & days pay, then threatening Sean (not to mention his treatment of Eileen!)... Hate him!!
