Sorry if I'm missing something but does anyone know why she was acting strangely with Jack in tonight's episodes?

    I think her child died of choking and she couldnt save him and has blamed herself ever since

    I was thinking this but thought I might have missed something as I'm not familiar with her character from before really.

    She also panicked when Maddie was talking about nearly drowning as a child so I think she's either had a child who has drowned or choked although I'm guessing probably choked as she made a fuss about the sweets Sophie told her to get Jack.

    Oh yes I forgot about that scene. Quite subtle. Thanks for the replies.

    I think the same - not very subtle was it!

    Nope, think sledgehammer. Problem is we (and I count here all DS discerning viewers par excellance:D) could write these scrips in our sleep.

    Well its pretty obvious that either her own child or a child in her care died of choking. That poor kid that plays Jack looks bloody terrified. They should have used the boy that played Joseph who is a more belevable young actor.

    Anyone remember Kevins wife Alison? She was weird about kids and water - turned out her baby sister drowned and her mum blamed her for not watching her.

    I think Jenny suddenly realised that her relationship with Keven comes with baggage - Sophie and Muddie - and she has run for the hills.

    Yes agree with you, especially BiB. The young actor who plays Joseph, will be a huge loss to Corrie. Loved how he shouted "Daddy!" to Ches.:D

    The whole Kevin, Jenny, Sawfie, Maddie s/l are just far too boring to even think about.

    I reckon she will end up confiding in Rita who will decide she has been punished enough and she will become part of the extended family, a bit like Tim.

    Yes. They should have started this earlier, perhaps showing her be reticent about dating Kevin when she found out he had a young child or commenting on the sweets a couple of weeks ago. Having 3 scenes in one episode when she'd been fine with him before was heavy handed.

    But yes, obviously she knows of a child that died from choking or drowning, probably whilst she was caring for them and probably her own. Which caused her marriage break down.

    There is no reason for anybody other than Rita to have a problem with her. Jenny was popular with her peer group and the older residents during her first stint. The only thing she ever did wrong was trying to get Rita to lend/give her money during her brief return 20 years ago and given how Rita was throwing money around (just given Sally 10k for no good reason as I recall) mayve it wasn't completely unreasonable for somebody Rita had treated as a daughter to think she'd help her. But she should have been upfront about it.

    Fun fact, Jenny is about the closest soap character in age to me, her 18th birthday when Alan tried to strangle rita) was about 2 weeks before mine. So I suppose i feel like i grew up with her to a certain extent.

    I also suspected that she had lost a child.

    Nobody appears in a soap unless they have a 'dark secret'. Yawn!
