James Andrew "Jamie" Baldwin is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera, Coronation Street, played by Rupert Hill. He first appeared in 2004 and left in 2008. In March 2011 it was announced that Jamie would return for one episode on 24 April 2011.
Shortly after his arrival in Weatherfield, Jamie began dating Leanne Battersby. He left her briefly for her enemy Maria Sutherland, but eventually reconciled with Leanne again. She then embarked on an affair with his father, Danny. When this was revealed, Jamie broke up with Leanne and disowned Danny. Jamie's mother, Carol, came to Weatherfield and stayed with Jamie and Frankie, who had thrown Danny out because of his affair with Leanne. He supported her during her attempts to give up drinking, but she tried to destroy his relationship with Frankie, unsuccessfully. He later failed in a rebound romance with Joanne Jackson, as his mother's continuing problems, which dominated his life. After Carol schemed to break the bond between Jamie and Frankie by insinuating that they fancied each other, they decided to kick her out and Jamie disowned her.
Jamie began dating Violet Wilson, following her split from Jason Grimshaw, who had had an affair with Sarah Platt. Violet moved in with Jamie, but Jamie's secret love for Frankie affected their relationship. Jamie and Violet split after a holiday abroad and he then declared his love for Frankie. The relationship lasted until Danny caught Jamie and Frankie in bed together. Danny and Jamie had a fight which resulted in Danny almost killing Jamie, after he was left unconscious in the canal but Danny dived in to save him.
After another confrontation between them, Danny "signed" everything over to Jamie and disappeared. Jamie told Violet about the affair with Frankie after she told him that she was pregnant, leaving her horrified. With Danny still missing, Jamie and Frankie planned to move to Spain, bound for a new life, and Jamie quit his job at King's Robes. However, on New Year's Eve, Frankie changed her mind and left Weatherfield alone. Following his split from Frankie, Jamie was employed at local cab firm StreetCars by Steve McDonald. Jamie disapproved of Sean Tully, who was homosexual, and Violet's plan to have a baby but eventually apologized for his attitude; however, when Jamie invited Violet to join him at Carol's wedding, there was an obvious attraction. Jamie and Violet later reconciled and planned to raise her and Sean's baby together. Following the baby's birth, they planned to leave Weatherfield and raise baby Dylan in London, excluding Sean. Violet then proposed to Jamie, who accepted, before filling the car with their belongings set to leave.
