He also starred in Footballers Wives and the Italian Job and died after falling out of bed and breaking his collarbone.His character first joined Crossroads in 1974 when Jim Baines squatted in David Hunter's house. The character's wife was Muriel who agoraphobia.<img src="http://jhochet.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/muriel-jim.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The character had an affair with garage secretary Sharon Metcalfe. One of his big storylines was when Jim Baines was suspected of attacking Vera Downend, the motel’s hairdresser and stealing the salon takings. Motel Barman Bill Warren picked Jim out of a police identification parade and for a time almost everyone at the Crossroads Motel believed that he was guilty. However, later the police picked up a burglar and found Vera’s cashbox in his room. One of his final storylines saw the character win the jackpot on the pools and it seemed his life was on the up, however life was never easy for Jim and the money brought its own problems.<img src="http://www.atvtoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/johnf.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/john-forgeham-footballers-wives-and-the-italian-job-actor-dies-in-fall-at-home-a3487421.html" target="_blank">http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/john-forgeham-footballers-wives-and-the-italian-job-actor-dies-in-fall-at-home-a3487421.html</a></blockquote>
