Charles Lawson, who played Big Jim McDonald in Coronation Street (so he did) is making a return to soap. Sadly, he's not returning to Corrie but he is going to appear in an episode of Doctors.
Digital Spy revealed that Charlie has already filmed his guest appearances on the BBC One
daytime drama. He plays the part of Gary, a warehouse worker who is unable to deal
with his recent diagnosis of petit mal epilepsy and attempts to hide
his condition from his employer.
Doctors broadcasts the episode on Friday, November 30 at 1.45pm on BBC One.
Jim McDonald was last seen on Corrie in April last year when he was sent to the Big House after trying to rob a building society to win the heart of his Elizabeth, so it was, so he did, Belfast fry, etc.
