"Jimmy King" is the only surviving member of the original "King" family, as the others have all been killed off.
Jimmy has evolved from a hard, cold businessman to a devoted husband and comedy character. This personality transformation followed the deaths of all his brothers in 2005, 2008 and 2012, his father's demise in 2006 and a marriage to Nicola.
