A Corrie insider told Digital Spy that talks are ongoing, but a return is yet to be confirmed.

Matthews played the character from 1986 until 1991 and would made a brief appearance again in 1993.

The character was first introduced as a papergirl for Rita Tanner.

After Jenny's mother was killed in a car crash, Rita fostered her and began a relationship with her estranged father, Alan.

Jenny stood by her father when he was arrested for assaulting Rita and almost killing her. She would also blame Rita for his death in 1989.

Coronation Street bosses have revealed that show returnee Jenny Bradley will start dating Kevin Webster after she arrives back on the cobbles.

It was officially announced yesterday that actress Sally Ann Matthews has agreed to reprise her role as Jenny, who is the daughter of memorable Corrie villain Alan Bradley.

Show chiefs have now revealed more details about the storyline in store for Jenny. She will re-join Weatherfield early next year after Kevin decides to try internet dating.

When Kevin makes a connection with a mystery woman online, he decides to meet up with her and is shocked to come face-to-face with Jenny.

Jenny has also turned to the online dating site after a nasty divorce and was pleased to find Kevin's face among the profiles, as she reveals that she had a crush on him when they were younger.

Kevin and Jenny strike up a relationship after the successful meeting, but how Jenny's foster mother Rita Tanner will react to the new romance remains to be seen.

Matthews appeared on Coronation Street as Jenny from 1986 until 1991, and made a brief appearance again in 1993.

Speaking today (October 21), she commented: "I'm as intrigued as everyone else to find out what Jenny has been up to for the last 21 years! I'm thrilled to be invited back and can't wait to get started."

She did indeed try to fleece Rita, and I'm sure she'll revert to type. She probably has a hidden agenda for contacting Kevin - to see Rita again perhaps?

Or maybe she is a reformed character and tries to repay Rita . Could end up with lots of tears and forgiveness or a hardening of Rita's heart and no forgiveness.
