He returned to the show alongside his daughter Katie (Hannah Ellis Ryan) - however it was quickly revealed the two of them were in cahoots to swindle Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard) out of her money. And to make matters worse, it was then revealed to viewers that Jim and Katie were romantically involved - and were not related in any way. The criminal duo have since been working on getting Liz to give them chunks of money. While Jim begins to fall head-over-heels in love with Liz once again, Katie - really Hannah - is adamant she will claim the money from Liz. Determined to find another way to get some money, Jim turns to Johnny Connor (Richard Hawley). After Johnny and Liz spent a night together over the summer shortly after Aiden Connor’s (Shayne Ward) death, Johnny wanted to run away with Liz. But after declining, Liz and Johnny returned to their lives, never to speak of their night together again. Once Jim catches wind of this short-lived affair, he uses it as fodder to blackmail Johnny, wanting money to keep quiet. As Liz slowly realises what is going on with the return of Jim, she becomes utterly furious. Coronation Street spoilers: Liz may find out the truth about Jim - but what will she do? However her fury is quickly subsided by vicious anger, as she is sure to find out that her long-lost daughter Katie is not really related to her. And once Jim is outed as a villain once again, Liz will surely be looking to get rid of him from the cobbles. Jim actor Charles recently told Metro.co.uk that there “is scope for Jim to return again next year,” so does this confirm he will survive the truth being revealed? Otherwise, could Johnny be looking to find a way to get rid of the evildoer once the blackmail is on the table? Meanwhile upcoming scenes will show off Josh Tucker (Ryan Clayton) admitting he raped David Platt (Jack P Shepherd).

Viewers are utterly disgusted by it all.

Coronation Street: Jim blackmails Johnny over affair with Liz Coronation Street fans are gripped by the current McDonald storyline on the ITV soap. Liz McDonald (played by Beverly Callard) is currently being duped by her ex husband Jim McDonald (Charles Lawson) and his new love interest, Hannah Gilmore (Hannah Ellis Ryan). The soap matriarch believes Hannah is her daughter who died at childbirth after the newcomer claimed it was a horrid case of mis-identification. Hannah has told Liz she needs money for life-saving treatment, but it is all a rouse to get some quick cash for her and Jim. With Liz seemingly unaware of the backstabbing and lies, Beverly appeared on This Morning earlier today to detail what has been going on with the gripping storyline. Phillip Schofield was keen to get to the bottom of current rumours saying Jim is being written out at the climax of the tale, which soap fans know almost certainly means death. Beverly teasingly replied: “It’s got to be Liz. “But I think there’s a long time to go before that could or would happen.” Phillip could barely believe his ears and pressed her to confirm whether she accidentally just revealed the ending of the plot. But cheeky Beverly simply replied how she “didn’t confirm or deny anything”. Coronation Street spoilers: Liz McDonald star hints Jim McDonald WILL die in shock twist But I think there’s a long time to go before that could or would happen Coronation Street star, Beverly Callard Nevertheless, Coronation Street fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks. Beverly admitted: “[Bosses] said, ‘Your daughter is coming back from the dead’ and you think, ‘Ok, I’m not too sure about this’. “But the way they’ve done it there are more twists and turns on the way and it’s fantastic to play.” Beverly also appeared to confirm a potential rekindling for Liz and Jim, saying they can’t stay away from each other for too long. Liz has been forming a romantic connection to Johnny Connor (Richard Hawley), but the pair only had one quick moment of passion before he returned to his wife.
