[QUOTE="soapfan, post: 407695, member: 354"] Actor Charles Lawson meanwhile has recently since criticised Coronation Street on GB News and how he doesn't expect Coronation Street to last the next 10 years, and how he's been a bit harsh on himself by saying he doesn't believe the character Jim McDonald would fit into the show now - It's just what the show needs, and why I gave up watching Coronation Street properly in 2000 after Jim left and only ever watched it since for Jim's returns. Personally I disagree with what he says about Jim, at least the good thing is that at least Charles Lawson has taken breaks/absences from the character of Jim, unlike Steve McFadden/Phil in EastEnders, where Phil is just a geriatric asthmatic, Grant/Ross Kemp was always the more compelling brother out of him and Phil, and how a lot of the narrative revolved around Grant. Anyway back to Jim McDonald, I always felt he had more potential than either of the Mitchell Brothers, there's more that could've been done with Jim, a full-time regular with a moustache and a brown leather jacket - He would be like Bill Webster/Peter Armitage and a grandfather to Amy, Jim McDonald would be a lot older now and taking a bit more of a back seat, because times and people change and how he wouldn't be like he was 30 years ago, he'd be advising Tyrone and Gary Windass, maybe Jim even sharing his old Army stories from the Falklands war in the 1980s. I remember Jim McDonald and Bill Webster worked together as builders in the 1990s also. Because the 2018 storyline with Liz ruined the chances of Jim and Liz ever being together again, bringing back Andy/Nicholas Cochrane would help make up for the mistake, and/or even one or more of Andy's ex partners, like when Vicky/Chloe Newsome returned shortly after splitting up with Steve/Simon Gregson.
