Jimmy Graham was a property developer who dated Rita Littlewood in 1974. He first met Rita when he called at The Kabin while scouting for properties for sale; his colleague Douglas Wormold had tried to buy The Kabin earlier in the year but Rita had refused. She felt no differently this time around (although the decision actually lay with Len Fairclough as The Kabin was now in his name) but they met up again at the Rovers, where Jimmy asked Rita to recommend a restaurant to him. As she was in the middle of a spat with Len, Rita decided to spite him and so she not only suggested somewhere for Jimmy to eat, she went with him.
