jim is back next month!
really is he finally getting let out of prison or is he doing one of his escapes again.
Where did u get the source from???
source please?
It was in the Sun during the week
oh right
Is he back just for a few episodes?
got it from the inside soap mag. i dont think he is actually free or anything i think he's still in prison
yeah i saw it in inside soap if i remember right you seehim in prison still!
Shame, it would have been nice to see him up against Charlie, especially after the comments Charlie made to Liz about women whose men are in prison being desperate!
hiya im a virgin poster lol only in the sense that i've never done this b4! Jim is seen inside as liz visits him in jail for them 2 make a "life changing desicion"
Does this mean that jim will be back for good
i had a feeling Jim would be back they should bring him back for good
I always thought it was silly of them to axe Jim anyway. I think he is a good character and they definitely should bring him back.
I never liked him, I thought Liz deserved better. But I wanna see a fight between charlie and Jim :-)
Is Jim in a wheelchair? Because I remember a little about him. Im not sure. anyone?
xXx
kool i liked him
I never thought of that before - him coming back and perhaps Charlie meeting his match. I was always a bit indifferent to him, I'm not really a Liz or Jim McDonald fan but might be interesting to see if that comes up!
i think it wood b gd if he came back full time....it's not planned just now....it's been reported now that during his comeback next month jim tells liz 2 go and find sum1 else....and in the summer she does exactly that!
CORRIE'S Jim McDonald is to be hospitalised after being battered by a love rival.
Trouble starts when Jim sees ex-wife Liz with new man Owen Armstrong.
The Ulsterman, famed for his catchphrase "so it is", starts making mischief for the pair - but it backfires as pals of control-freak builder Owen leave him bloodied and bruised.
Our source said: "The scenes will be savage. Jim will need hospital treatment - not just the usual bag of peas."
Owen, played by Ian Puleston-Davies, starts dating landlady Liz after Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) discovers he's just using her to do his paperwork and dumps him. When Jim (Charles Lawson) returns, he takes an instant dislike to Owen and is jealous of the chemistry he has with Liz (Bev Callard).
A source said: "Jim and Liz might be divorced but it's clear there is a spark between them which will never go out.
"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 was last seen punching love rival Vernon in 2008 on the day he was due to marry Liz. He was ordered out of Weatherfield by son Steve.
Steve will kill Owen when he finds out what him and his mates have done to Jim.
Steve will have to fight Liz to get to Owen, I like to think that Liz has always loved Jim and always will and hopefully she sees Owen for the thug he is!!
Beverley Callard and Charles Lawson have teased what Coronation Street viewers can expect to see between Liz and Jim McDonald.
In August, Lawson confirmed that he would reprise his role in the ITV soap later this year and feature in the 50th anniversary episodes.
Speaking to Digital Spy, he said: "[The romance has] been going on since 1989, so you'll have to keep watching."
Callard added: "It's never boring, that's for sure!"
When asked about Liz's relationship with Owen Armstrong, played by Ian Puleston-Davies, Callard admitted that the Rovers Return landlady can be "so stupid".
"Liz thinks he's great," she said. "But of course the viewers know different. They're just beginning to see another side of him. Liz is completely unaware of that. She's so stupid sometimes!"
Press reports have suggested that Owen could be behind an attack on Jim.
"Liz still loves Jim as well you see, that's the biggest thing," Callard added.
Lawson quipped: "She gets to deal with a man then."
Coronation Street's Charles Lawson has admitted that he can get "fed up" of acting.
Lawson will reprise his role as Jim McDonald ahead of the ITV soap's 50th anniversary in December.
"I've been a professional actor for 31 years but I get really fed up of it," he told the Daily Record. "It's not the same job it used to be. Nobody seems to have fun anymore.
"I don't want to keep going to Casualty or Holby City anymore. I've done them about seven times already.
"I don't want to look in the mirror at 70 and think I've never had a crack at doing something different."
Well Jim Mcdonald isnt exactly an angel is he. He was a wife beater. He was a good character at times, but don't know why he's coming back.
Coronation Street hardman Charlie Lawson last night launched into a blistering attack on the soap as it marked its 50th anniversary.
The Enniskillen-born wildman blasted the show that made him a fortune — seething: “The writers cut my character’s b**ls off.”
Charlie — famed for playing wife-beating ex-squaddie ‘Big’ Jim McDonald in Corrie — was back on the cobbles last week as it celebrated half a century on the box with a series of specials.
But the former Shakespearean actor — who sensationally quit acting full-time in the soap in 2000 — was left out of the storyline that saw a tram explosion devastate Weatherfield and kill key characters.
Instead, Big Jim — whose Ulster catchphrase ‘so it is’ is now part of telly history — was laid up in hospital after taking a beating from a love-rival.
He was out of hospital before the crash...wasn't he?
Maybe he got the tram from Weatherfield General
The one behind. That's why he didn't get to the street in time.
Wonder what will happen when he meets up with ''yer man'' Owen again. More fisticuffs followed by another trip to the Big HouseQuote:

But if Lloyd thinks running a pub's a doddle, he hasn't banked on warring barmaids Tracy Barlow and Tina McIntyre.
But even better news big Jim McDonald follows her and turns up on screen a week later, March 24.
The magazine says that Jim has a 'shocking suggestion' for Liz and I'm guessing it's not 'do you not think yer shud let yer hem line down a wee bit, Elizabeth?' Let's hope that Liz's leaving storyline for Corrie gets her back together with big Jim and the two of them can go off and live happily ever after, Ulster Fry style. Right after Jim's punched out Owen's lights.
I wanna see Jim punch Owen's lights out
Maybe Big Jim could stay in the street and be Eileen's night in shinning armour.

CORRIE'S Jim McDonald is coming back - in a bid to buy the Rovers.
He aims to give the pub to ex-wife Liz to win her heart again.
Jim - played by Charles Lawson, 51 - was last seen in the Street in December but is due to return later this year.
The Northern Irishman will make an offer to buy the Rovers from the current owners - his hard-up son Steve and daughter-in-law Becky.
Liz, played by Beverley Callard, 53, manages the Rovers for the couple.
An insider said: "Jim is intent on winning Liz back once and for all.
"He sees the pub as the way to her heart. Liz might be the manager but it is Steve's name above the door. Steve is desperate for cash and might take his dad's money."
Jim was a Street regular between 1989 and 2000 and has made brief returns since.
He came back last November for Jack Duckworth's funeral and sent flowers to Liz.
They were intercepted by her new boyfriend Owen Armstrong, who warned him off.
Jim was beaten up the next month.
He told Steve that Owen was behind the attack and said he feared for Liz.
Previous Rovers bosses include Fred Elliott, Jack and Vera Duckworth, Bet and Alec Gilroy and Jack and Annie Walker.

EXCELLENT NEWS. Lets hope he punishes Owen
I wonder how long Jim will be back for this time?
A while I hope. Can't you just see him and Eileen in charge of the rovers.
Hope he leaves with Liz, so I do
That would be the happy ending but I would love to see him stay on so I wouldQuote:

The desperate ex-con returns to the Street next month and hopes to get his old missus back by buying the Rovers off their son Steve.
But when all legitimate attempts to raise the funds fail the former squaddie - whose catchphrases include "So it is" - decides to stage an armed raid.
Jim, played by Charles Lawson, 51, goes into Weatherfield Building Society and tells the cashier: "I've got a gun. So if you know what's good for you, my friend, you'll fill that bag to the top with all your cash, so you will."
But things go wrong for the Ulsterman when the terrified worker presses the panic button to alert cops - and a have-a-go hero tries to bring him down in a violent tussle. In dramatic scenes to be aired at Easter, Jim makes a run for it - but finds he is blocked in by armed cops.
He holds staff and customers hostage and refuses to discuss their release until he can speak to Liz.
After police fetch the stunned landlady from the Rovers, her hapless ex, left, tells her over the phone: "I've let you down big time Elizabeth, so I have."
Jim, who left the Street in 2000 after 11 years but has featured part-time ever since, then reveals he wants to shoot himself.
As the cameras close in on his tortured face, we will be left wondering whether it really is the last time Jim sets foot on the Corrie cobbles.
So we will.

SKINT Steve and Becky McDonald will plot to sell the Rovers Return and flee Weatherfield with their kids.
The under-fire couple come up with the desperate plan as they face financial ruin and the chance of losing both their children.
Things have been grim for Becky (Katherine Kelly, 31) and Steve (Simon Gregson, 36) for weeks – they are on the brink of bankruptcy and Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford, 33) is hell-bent on making sure Steve doesn’t have custody of Amy.
To make matters worse, Becky’s evil sister Kylie, who sold her son Max to the couple before Christmas, decides she wants him back.
Faced with losing both their kids they decide to do a bunk.
Becky breaks down and tells Steve: “I miss Amy so much Steve.
“I can’t live round here any more seeing her growing up living with Tracy.”
They do a deal with Liz (Bev Callard, 53) to buy their stake in the pub so they can start a new life in Spain.
Daily Star
If the story about Big Jim is true I think it's a crap one and a piss poor way to get rid of him.
Stupid story, why bring Jim back if they're going to lock him up in jail or have him take his own life. If he's coming back he should stay and take on the rovers.
