James 'Jimmy' Dockerson is played by actor Robert Beck. The character first appeared on 11 July 2008, as a henchman of Tony Gordon, sabotaging the clients of Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell). Several months later, Jimmy reappears when Tony discovers that his fiance Carla Connor (Alison King) has had an affair with her former brother-in-law Liam (Rob James-Collier). Tony arranges a hit-and-run incident to kill Liam, hiring Jimmy to carry it out on Tony's stag night on 17 October. On 22 December 2008, he meets up with Tony where he tells him not to call him again. A few days later, after Tony attempts to murder Jed Stone (Kenneth Cope), he calls to ask for Jimmy's help but he hangs up on him. In early February 2009, Carla meets with Jimmy, where he tells her of his hired henchman activities and what really happened on the night of Liam's death.

Jimmy returns on 22 October 2009 when Tony hires him to kill Carla after she threatens to expose the truth. After a vicious scuffle with her, after gaining entry into her apartment, she strikes him over the head with a candlestick knocking him unconscious, and Tony tricks Carla into thinking that he is dead. She then promptly leaves for Los Angeles again not knowing that Jimmy is still alive.

In November 2009, Tony hands himself into the police, and gives Jimmy's name as the hitman that he hired to kill Liam. The police then begin searching for Jimmy. Tony, meanwhile, confesses to Carla that he had only pretended Jimmy was dead in order to get her to leave and protect himself. In early December, the police tell Carla that Jimmy has been arrested and has confessed to killing Liam and told them of Carla's attack on him.
