Mary Kelley confirms Jim Green character to stay

Sunset Valley boss Mary Kelley has revealed that the departing character of Jim Green is set to stay in the valley as a recurring character well into 2022. Initial plans in 2015 would see Jim have his final scenes throughout 2015 as prison visit scenes, but the new stories in hand have allowed for Jim's presence to continue in a new story for 20201 into 2022. 
Kelley reveals 'Jim is well a truly unhinged. He's broken and still in love with Karyn despite everything that happened. Without giving too much away, we have a new story that involves more prison scenes featuring Jim as a recurring character well into 2022.It's a very climactic end to to the Karyn and Jim saga, which heavily features two other characters, and that's set to be a real action packed dramatic story for early 2022. We've been planning this story for 6 years now and we have a real chance of telling it, so viewers are in for a real treat'
