==Biography==
Jimmy King was born on 1st March 1965 conceived by parents Tom King and Mary King respectively. He grew up to becoming one of his father's employed partners in the family business called "King & Sons" and soon became the eldest sibling following the birth of three brothers: Matthew, Carl, and Max. Following his mother's death, Jimmy met a woman named Sadie and they got married prior to arriving at Emmerdale in 2004.
When the family arrived, it became clear that Jimmy was far from the brightest of the brothers when it came to running the family business. As such his marriage with Sadie fell apart due to their differences over starting a family, which Jimmy had wanted whereas Sadie was far from interested. On occasions Jimmy developed a sibling rivalry with Matthew over being Tom's heir apparent as well as the fact that Sadie and Matthew have secretly harboured romantic feelings for each other. In 2005, Jimmy was seduced by Tom's bride-to-be Charity Dingle as she planned to get revenge on Sadie for sabotaging her wedding. Charity's success in exposing Sadie and seducing Jimmy resulted in Tom disowning the pair, but eventually he forgave Jimmy after he was the only son to remember the anniversary of his late mother. 
Tragedy soon struck when Max was killed in a vehicle explosion and later on Sadie's scheming against the King Family led to Jimmy unwittingly cutting corners in a showhouse development that consequently led to the deaths of local resident Dawn Woods and two other people. Then on Christmas Day 2006, Tom was killed by an unknown assailant and the following month saw Jimmy along with his brothers implicated as the primary suspects. Matthew believed Jimmy was the killer and attacked him until Carl confessed to being the one who killed their father. From then onwards, a sibling rivalry developed between Matthew and Carl over various problems in which Jimmy was forced to try and place peacemaker between them. This tragically led to Matthew's death and the disbandment of the family business.
In 2009, Jimmy became closely acquainted with businesswoman Nicola Blackstock and they got romantically engaged after she gave birth to their daughter named Angelica. They eventually got married in 2010 and Jimmy sought to enjoy a ready-made family with Nicola, but was devastated in 2012 when Carl is murdered not long after he and Jimmy fell out with each other.
