In 2015, Jenny arrived back onto the cobbles and straight into a disastrous relationship with Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell), before taking on a more permanent stint the following year.
The character has been central to the programme for quite some time, kicking off when Jenny lost her husband Johnny (Richard Hawley) in a freak drowning accident in a sewer system.
Former step-daughter Daisy would later arrive and in more recent months, convince her to use stolen money from the Underworld factory to buy back the Rovers Return.
When fellow step-daughter Carla Connor (Alison King) found out about the two women’s deceit she ordered them to set up a payment plan to give her the cash back.
Her life was also on the line after being targeted by serial killer Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce), who murdered her ex-boyfriend Leo.
