Rob, any chance this guy is a 6ft 1 proper? Been watching the classic Corrie and he looks it to me, an inch taller than Keith Duffy (who I would guess at 6ft).

Editor RobHe started out listing himself at about age 20 as 6 feet, but generally does pull off looking over it...I suppose the question whether it's 1/2 or 1 inch!

That was SO scary when Dev’s son was shot in tonight’s episode of ‘Coronation Street’. If the neighbours were asleep at the time, they won’t be now; I screamed the place out!

He can look borderline very tall on Corrie due to the predominantly short cast

Dev is having a ding dong in the Rovers with Jim MacDonald, who looks around the 5ft11.5 mark.

Jimmi has just started as the new owner of the corner shop in Classic Coronation Street. The year was 1999 - the tail end. He was the tallest of the regular cast members for many a long year, yet his twins, a girl and a boy, grew up to be below average, especially the boy.

I thought Dev was bang out of order to focus all his attention on his daughter in the car wreck. At over 6ft, and well built, surely he could have helped both twins out together. They're only small! I don't blame the son for feeling rejected.

I did see the point as to why Dev refused to sell Nina a bottle of vodka while she's grieving. He kindly offered her a free box of chocolates instead, but if the girl is determined enough, she's going to get it regardless. It just so happened to be HIS shop - when his back was turned! 😯

Just listen, Dev, to what that evil boy, 19 in real life, Corey Brent, has to say when Dev breaks the news that young Sebastian Franklin has died: "But people get beaten up all the time - and they don't die!"
NOT SO in a normal, decent, respectable world. Nobody should ever be set upon. It's not against the law for nothing.
Get your daughter away from that scumbag, Dev!

Dev's reaction at his 16-year-old daughter having a date with a girl: "...but she's a female person!"
😂😂😂
Ten out of ten Dev, but at least she can't get your little girl pregnant! You've got to keep up with the times, Dev! Girls date girls these days and vice versa - and so what? Couldn't you see it coming? I could! The girls have a connection, and that's just fine! 🌹
Jimmi gets 6ft and three-quarters-of- an-inch. 😉

I was very touched at Jimmi's 'Coronation Street' character, Dev's reaction at his daughter's faltering in her exams. Whereas the young girl's twin brother did well in his, personal circumstances have had a bad effect on the girl's schoolwork, and her father had nothing but encouragement for his daughter to carry on and start afresh.
What a lovely attitude.

It's rather unusual to have a parent of 15-year-old twins who actually stops them from playing age restricted video games in this day and age!
The boy is not very pleased, but the girl is too busy with her boyfriend - and planning to go on the pill! 🤭
Both youngsters seem well adjusted, and I believe that the daughter will wait until she turns 16.

I've seen that episode again and the girl isn't so young and naive as I thought! She's probably in her thirties and trying to make Dev a happy bunny.
Well, I'm sure she succeeded! 🐰

Ooh! How vain can you get? A naïve young girl says she thinks he's in his 30s - 38 to be precise - and Dev replies that he's in his 40s! Ha ha ha - he's 55, and possibly plays older.
Admittedly this real-life father of two looks fighting fit for 55, but as for 38? Pull the other one!

Jimmi gave a heartfelt performance this week on finding out that his teenage daughter, Asha, has been using his credit card. That will be a shock in its own right, but in yesterday's hour-long episode we find out the reason. Asha has been buying skin bleach online because she has been suffering at the hands of school bullies, more a mental torture, which is often the worst kind.
Furthermore, after Jimmi's Dev took his daughter for a visit to their homeland, she has a bee in her bonnet that Indian girls use skin bleach as regularly as white girls use fake tan - BUT AT LEAST THAT WASHES OFF! Poor Asha has had an allergic reaction to the product, leading friend Amy to believe she's self-harming, which, in a way, she is.
I had no idea that dark-skinned girls suffered like this; how terrible.
Jimmi gets 6ft and half-an-inch. It's not impossible that he's lost a bit by now. He's 54-and-a-half.

@ Sandy Cowell - Hi!
Your autocorrect has no limits in terms of its rudeness, thank goodness you can write off to Rob if you send one of its "amendments" by mistake. I can work out what it was going to put instead of Duckworth, it has a shocking mind, I think you should bin it AND seal your bin up!
Seeing those old episodes of "Coronation Street" really must have been a trip down memory lane and it will have been sad to see the actors and actresses who are no longer with us. I am about to watch "Countdown" on channel 4 +1 in a matter of minutes!
My Wishlist is now on Rob's computer, stored in his inbox! I sent it not long after 6:00 this morning! I have 16 suggestions, 5 soap stars, 7 people from the world of sport, 2 TV presenters, a Newsreader, and a Comedian! I am now at the proof reading stage for my Health and Safety tips, they are stored on my notepad!
Have a great day!

@ Nik - Well as a matter of fact, I did catch the 2nd Coronation Street and I was pretty pleased because Sally has just said "Yes!" to Kevin's marriage proposal and she was celebrating with Hilda Ogden, Bett Lynch, Betty the Barmaid*,
Vera Duckworth, Deirdre Barlow and so it goes on! So many are no longer with us, it can get quite sad!
I will look at your soapy wishlist and probably end up adding a few ideas of my own!
* My autocorrect has been at it again! It thought Betty should be a Bargain rather than a Barmaid and what it tried to put for Vera, apart from 'Very' instead for her first name is UNPRINTABLE!

I hope you gave your autocorrect a good roasting and that you are all the richer for it now!

Lovely to find that Jimmi has his own page! AND WE HAVE A SIX FOOT SOAP STAR, well, just over! That should be pushing the average up for the Coronation Street men! I was looking at the male/female averages only this afternoon for the very first time. Isn't that ironic?
I didn't know Jimmi was French! He speaks English extremely well and has a beautiful speaking voice, and now I know why! As so often seems to be the case, people from abroad learn to pronounce their words far more thoroughly and precisely than people for whom this is their Mother tongue!
Jimmi gets 6ft0.5 and an enormous great welcome!
