Although he's made a couple of guest appearances here and there, Jim McDonald's been away from Weatherfield in a regular capacity since 2000.
However, Metro.co.uk are now reporting that a "very well-established character...with a long-standing name" is returning to Corrie and the character in question is Jim McDonald. However, per Charles Lawson's own Twitter account as of yesterday, he claims he has "no idea" if he's returning.
According to Metro's source, "(with) Jim’s release date from prison approaching later this year, it is indeed something that Coronation Street bosses are in talks about. Bringing back Jim seems inevitable and a great way to stir up drama."
While it's not yet 100% confirmed, the source goes on to say that "any return would be closer to the end of the year than any time in the immediate future." The question now is whether audiences are ready to see Big Jim back on the tiles and ready to cause trouble.
