Jenny Connor sets her sights on George Shuttleworth next week on Coronation Street, but her plan to win him over doesn’t go quite as expected. Instead of getting the reaction she hoped for, Jenny ends up facing a surprise that leaves her stunned.
Jenny Tries to Impress George
Jenny has been showing more interest in George lately. She even invited him out for lunch, clearly hoping to get a bit closer. George let her down gently, explaining that he needed to stay back and sweep up at the funeral parlour. Not ready to give up, Jenny decided she’d help him with the job instead.
She turned up at Shuttleworth’s with her mop and gloves, convinced that pitching in would put her in his good books. According to a Corrie insider, Jenny sees George as a warm, caring man who would treat her properly, something she hasn’t had much of in the past. She thought that showing up in her cleaning gear would show him how serious she was about him.
Coronation Street: Christina Gets There First
Jenny’s effort quickly backfired. When she arrived, she discovered that George had already called on Christina Boyd for help. Christina was ready in her tabard and rubber gloves, leaving Jenny stunned to see her rival already doing the job.
Feeling awkward, Jenny decided there was no point staying. She left George and Christina together, but not without a heavy heart. Insiders say Jenny must have been gutted, especially since George seemed perfectly happy to spend the time with Christina.
This latest rejection makes it clear George doesn’t share Jenny’s feelings. To add salt to the wound, it’s Christina he has chosen to spend time with, which feels like a real blow for Jenny. But the storyline is part of a bigger picture. The show has been preparing for Jenny’s exit, and this heartbreak is another step towards her departure.
Sally Ann Matthews, who has played Jenny for the past decade, revealed in August that she had already filmed her last scenes. She admitted she only planned to stay on the cobbles for five months but loved it so much she stayed for ten years. She said it now feels like the right time to move on, while thanking the Corrie team for the memories and endless laughter.
End of the Road for Jenny in Coronation Street?
Jenny’s last moments on the Street are coming up fast, and her failed attempt with George may be the final blow before she leaves Weatherfield behind. After so many ups and downs, her exit looks set to be filled with heartache.
Viewers will soon see how Jenny bows out, but whatever happens, it promises to be an emotional farewell for one of Corrie’s most memorable characters. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street news and spoilers.
