Jimmi Harkishin on his past 'out of control' drug addiction - 'He needs help'
ITV soap opera Coronation Street where he has played the shopkeeper regularly since 1999. Yet the pressures of his job have at times got the better of him and back in 2004, Harkishin was pictured ingesting cocaine from a kitchen worktop, with the photographs soon hitting the headlines. Embroiled in scandal, rumours about Harkishin's future on Coronation Street were called into question, but after a meeting with bosses at Granada, both actor and production company recognised he had "some problems".
