'Coronation Street' star Charles Lawson has said that his character Jim must have felt like a "desperate man" before deciding to rob a bank.
Speaking to Hot TV magazine, the actor said: "I don't think for a moment he thought, 'Right, one way I could get the pub is to rob the bank'."
"He is just a desperate man and he can't face telling Liz that he hasn't got the cash to buy the pub for her."
"He isn't thinking about the consequences - Jim has never been a man who thinks about the consequences of his actions."
"He is hot-heated and a man of actions, not words. It has got him into so much trouble before and this is no different, but he doesn't learn his lesson."
