I did notice last night on Corrie that Jim's picture was prominent in the back room of the Rovers when Steve and Andrea were doing their history course work. It's not a picture we've seen before in the back room, or if we have, then not for a very long time. Clearly they've started signposting Jim's return already.
The official Coronation Street website reports today that: "Full storyline details are top secret, but we can exclusively reveal that Jim will still be serving time for armed robbery and that we're set to see more of his life behind bars.
How Jim's return will affect son Steve and ex-wife Liz is still under wraps, but it's safe to say that whenever Jim's around things tend to get a lot more complicated for the McDonalds.
Charlie will begin filming in June and will return to screens later this year."
