Jim's one of soaps toughest due to this beating up someone that eventually kills them isn't a easy thing to do not many soap characters have taken a life with there bare hands

[@H.K.5]

I get why you think that makes him one of the toughest soap characters but I think there's alot of better fighters in soaps. Nathan Harding in my opinion was harder than Jim since he was a boxing champion in the military and put Ashley in the hospital with a single punch. He also floored everyone else he hit and was obviously really skilled.

[@footballfanatic3481]

@@H.K.5 Nathan is definitely a better fighter but taking someone's life with your bare hands is not easy what so ever I don't think Jim is up there with the elites but this alone makes him top 20 and at least top five on Corrie alone

[@H.K.5]

@@footballfanatic3481 Putting someone in the hospital with one punch isn't easy either. Jim is easily top 5 in Corrie though, I agree with you on that.

[@footballfanatic3481]

The scenes were supposed to be serious. However I've always found Jim hilarious. I laughed my wee head off when I watched this so I did. The most angry man in soapland ever so he was. I hope he goes back into corrie, it may bring some violent humour. There's a few annoying characters that need a good punch so they do.

[@tattooedandy93]

Jez was scary. I was really young when I saw him on corrie and my god he scared me. Complete psycho. He did his part well. I heard he’s such a friendly and kind person in real life.

Jez was a camp villain So he was

[@mellyking6897]

jim deffo the hardest corrie character

[@rockinrobo84]

jim handed himself in shortly after because it was the right thing to do. He also thought it wouldn't be long before the police came knocking on his door. I suppose he could have been right there because there were witnesses that he pushed out of the way going into jez's flat. So he probably would have got arrested eventually if he didn't hand himself in.

[@nathanhowell3722]

Now this Jim (in his prime) vs Charlie Stubbs and Pat Phelan would of been a ace fight

[@tomhiggins6542]

Jim would win the fight however Pat would be to clever in the long run. Jim tended to act first and think second (his return saw a crueler side which I didn't care for) while Pat was ruthless and capable of anything.

[@nathanhowell3722]

Pat was definitely the more Intresting out the two

[@Zzzzz_Zzzzzz______]

Jim would be destroyed if he'd fought Rick the loan shark.

[@Grandmaster_Dragonborn]

@@Zzzzz_Zzzzzz______ That one who ambushed Phelan in his home? He'd give Jim a bit of a fight but he was way too slow. Jim is just as strong, whilst being faster & more experienced. Jim would kill that loan shark. It's loan shark vs soldier, take your pick.

Jim was pure anger and adrenaline , nothing could stop him

[@Grandmaster_Dragonborn]

1:08 *"It's gonna take somebody bigger than you to scare me."* Well you won't find many of them Jez so you won't; he's called "Big Jim" for a reason.

[@duffman18]

It's hilarious how the insult that put him over the edge and caused him to pick up the baseball bat and hit him with it was "you're a big girl's blouse" which as an insult is pretty much the mildest way to make fun of someone in British English language. It's like laughably daft. I love it. Whenever as a kid I was acting silly or daft or scared of something my parents would call me a big girl's blouse. Like when we were on holiday and went to the zoo in Fuengirola, Spain, and went into the bat room, the bats weren't behind any kind of net or glass or metal bars or anything, they were just all up hanging off the roof, and could in theory fly down and land on you if they wanted (but they didn't because they're more scared of you than you are of them), so I got terrified cos I was 9, and ran out of the bat room, and my parents called me a big girl's blouse, and they were correct. I went back to that zoo 20 years later as an adult and I was still terrified of that room. Though I managed to not just immediately run out, that time, just walk at a brisk pace. It's basically just a very large shed, it's not a huge room, like maybe 50ft long? But cos it was my childhood I first was there, it's probably the reason why bats are the only animal I'm scared of. And I'm in good company considering Batman is terrified of them. But Batman like me is just being a big girl's blouse.

This brings back memories so it does (False memories actually as I thought he was the one suffocating Jez with a pillow)

[@stevedavidson5038]

@H.K Apparently this scene was apparently originally supposed to be way more brutal but ITV deemed it too violent for 19:30 so Corrie had to cut it down. Only a rumour but it makes sense because there's no way Jez would have facial injuries that severe from one punch to the face, it would also explain how he died from the beating.

[@H.K.5]

@@stevedavidson5038 Yeah that makes perfect sense. Jez dying from this was pretty unrealistic, if Jim hit hard enough to kill a man then he should've been able to knock out everyone else he punched.
