Jim McDonald is surely one of the all-time great Coronation Street characters. Passionate, fierce, proud, and at times idiotic, Big Jim is quirky, often laid-back, and an easy man to like, though emphatically not one to cross.
From his characteristic Ulster speech patterns ("What about ye?" ) - as distinctive to Jim as Fred Elliott's "Ah seh!" - to his fierce devotion to his Elizabeth, he is just terrific. Liz seems to have realised that she's been parted from this rumbustious force of nature for perhaps too long.
Here's hoping he's back permanently, and right soon.
He'd be more than welcome from this Corrie fan.
ReplyDeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteNAY
ReplyDeleteYay and nay!
ReplyDeleteYAY
ReplyDeleteYay! Especially as it looked to me that Liz was the one with the longing,and Jim was the aloof one. Does Liz need more menopause support?
ReplyDeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. He proved his worth on the cobbles again. Andy not so worthy of a permanent reprise :D

Definitely, definitely! Get him back on the Street. The strongest male character since Len Fairclough.
ReplyDeleteYay!!
ReplyDeleteI would say YAY, as I like Jim, as long as "Elizabeth" is not going to become all margarine legged again. If he stays let them be a happy couple.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see Jim back. Andy's dull without much potential for a storyline.

Without a doubt, yes. Unless Jim boes back to the "big hoose".
