Me, too.
Concerning Andy: I mentioned on the 40th birthday of the twins Steve and Andy, it was a total suspension of reality that he was not involved at all. I was told that he was mentioned briefly in a sentence.

He wasn't mentioned but there were photos of him on the wall in Jim's cell. So he hasn't been completely wiped from existence at least.
Alcohol has driven Peter into becoming Jim's bitch. I'm so glad Corrie is on before the watershed.....I've no wish to watch Peter taking it up the Kyber Pass

Yes he was mentioned. Liz said something about speaking to him on the phone I think. There was a photo of him on Jim's wall too.
It would be nice if they could get a more recent photo of the actor to put up somewhere. They don't need to make a big deal of it but it would help convince that he's still around and in their lives.
I love Jim McDonald an absolute corrie legend they don't make characters like him anymore. I love all his little quirks 'catch yourself on!' 'Is that the craic?' 'What about you?'. Calling everybody by their full names Steven Elizabeth Andrew etc. and I remember he always used to call Jack Duckworth Jacko which always made me laugh.

When he was on before I used to see him as a bit of a "hammy actor
Given the dross they have now he has become an actor of some stature

Didn't he call Alec Gilroy 'Sandy' as well? I think I prefer him in short bursts to being a long term character though.

Quite ironic since his name "Jim" is a shortened version of James.
