1995 also saw Jimmy turn up to the D-Day commemorations dressed in a Gestapo uniform, which did not go down well in the close. He was also accompanied on frequent occasions during 1995 with his dog, a pitbull called Cracker. Jimmy soon found himself caught up in the world of drugs again, but this time he was dealing them instead of taking them, allowing him to make a small fortune. With the money, he was able to buy 10 Brookside Close and, after years of hanging around, finally moved into the neighbourhood. However, things soon soured when rival dealers targeted the house in a drive-by shooting, which killed Jackie's cat, and Jimmy decided to get out of the game before anyone got hurt. Jimmy's son-in-law (and partner in crime) Gary Stanlow (Andrew Fillis) was ordered to dispose of the remaining drugs, but Gary chose instead to sell one final stash to one of Jimmy's regular customers, Australian soap star Shane Cochrane (who was in a relationship with Jacqui Dixon (Alexandra Fletcher)). Jimmy was horrified when Gary admitted what he had done, as the heroin was uncut, and tried desperately to reach Shane in time, but was just too late to stop him fatally overdosing.
