This did not happen, and at a real low point for the Corkhills, Jimmy senior bowed to his son's wishes, who was going through cold turkey, and supplied him with a heroin fix.
However, the catalyst for little Jimmy's fate was when mother, Jackie Corkhill discovered he had smuggled a large amount of heroin back into Britain, strapping it to his abdomen.
They met Ron Dixon at the Parade, who mistook them for plain-clothes detectives and gave them the Corkhills' address.
In November 1996, during a scene in which Little Jimmy breaks into the Dixons' house, the character was portrayed by another actor, Paul Sanders.
This was due to the scene needing to be re-shot, and after regular actor George Christopher had left the show.
