"Little" James 'Jimmy' Corkhill Jr. is a fictional character in the defunct Channel 4 soap opera Brookside. He was portrayed by George Christopher and first appeared between 1991 and 1992.[3] Little Jimmy resented his father, Jimmy for a number of years having caught him having sex with his aunt, Val Walker.
In 1996, Little Jimmy returned to Brookside close after spending time in a french prison for drug-related offences. On his release, he returned home and his parents were determined to wean him off his addiction. Unfortunately, their attempts were in vain when on 29 November 1996 Little Jimmy was found badly wounded in his bedroom after being shot by dealers over a debt. He died in the ambulance before he could reach hospital.
