Jimmy Pepper

Jimmy Pepper is the homophobic ex-partner of Val Pollard and father to her daughter Sharon.

Jimmy and Val have a relationship in the 70's which leaves Jimmy believing that he is the father to both her children Paul and Sharon Lambert. Despite believing that Paul was his son he regularly beat him but Val didn't do anything to stop him. Paul and Val's sister Diane Sugden bump into Jimmy in Newcastle in 2005. After a conversation with Paul he discovers that he is not Paul's real father.

Jimmy turns up in the village demanding that she repay him £5,000 that he paid to her for Paul. Val, doesn't have the money, so she throws herself at him but he rejects her advances. He demands he pays up or he will beat up Paul like he used to do. Jimmy robs Pollard's Factory and strips it bare, even taking the kettle to try to make her pay him the money. Val steals the takings from The Woolpack and pretends that she was mugged to pay Jimmy off.
