Kevin seems blind/deaf to what Jenny is doing, he might have forgotten about the conversation as he was concerned for Sophie and Maddie in hospital but I guess he will remember after Jenny kidnaps Jack :wall:Quote:

What can you tell us about what’s going on in Jenny’s head at this point? Jenny thinks the only way to keep Jack safe is to have him with her at all times. For the first time too she starts to remember the son she lost.
How is she feeling in the wake of the showdown with Maddie? She’s so conflicted. But she only has one mission and that is to ensure, in her misguided way, that Jack is safely in her sole care.
How confident is she that she can get away with what she’s doing? She’s clearly deluded and because she believes it’s the right thing to do I don’t think she thinks about ’getting away with’ anything. This is the only option she sees.
Does she have any guilt? She does have guilt but is focused on the job in hand which is protecting Jack.
Does she care about Kevin? I think she does care about Kevin, a great deal actually, but because she isn’t seeing things as they really are she can only see him as an obstacle in her desire to keep Jack safe.
How well has she planned the kidnap – how long ago did she hatch the plan? She isn’t Machiavellian! She isn’t twiddling her moustache and drawing up plans. She is deeply traumatised about the death of her son and is reacting rather than acting.
How is Jack coping with being away from his family at this point? Jack loves and trusts Jenny - why wouldn’t he, she really does care about him and have his best interests at heart - but he is confused as to why she has taken him away from Daddy and Sophie.
What happens when Rita and Kevin turn up at the flat? It took a lot for Jenny to reach out to Rita and she feels that she has been betrayed as Kevin has also come along when she only wanted Rita. Jenny is deeply hurt and feels she can’t trust anyone.
What effect does Sophie’s arrival have? Sophie simply thinks Jenny is completely mad!
Can anyone get through to Jenny? She’s known Kevin for a long time and she does care for him deeply. He holds the key.
Would she jump if she really had to? She obviously feels she has nothing to live for - no family, no child, no husband, no boyfriend. I think she is extremely desperate.
What were these scenes like to film?Exhausting! They were also so fulfilling as an actress. The opportunity to be covered in tears and snot doesn’t come around very often.
What have you made of the storyline – did you know about it when you returned? I did know about the story though I didn’t know the extremes that Jenny would go to. It’s certainly captured the interest of the viewer and ultimately that’s the main thing.
How have people reacted to Jenny’s return? Twitter and Facebook were quite a scary place to be when Jenny slapped Maria so what it’s going to be like in the next few weeks is anyone’s guess! I hope they see that there is a genuine reason for her behaviour and from reaction so far I think the viewers will have sympathy for her situation.
Well the actress is certainly deluded-
about her own importance and
acting ability.!!
I read some blow "your own bugle
interview" but this tops all!!

What part of the interview do you object to MM? I didn't notice anything wrong with it. I thought it was quite nice she was sympathetic to Jenny, not making out she's a psycho or "nuts".Quote:

Basically the whole tone of the interview.Quote:

I accept that it is part of an actors role to
"sell" themselves and their roles but this
is to me way beyond that . I started reading
the post-in the middle-and thought it might be
some sort of nasty "spoof" making ridicule
of the storyline( except we dont get that sort
of thing on here) .Then went back to start
and realised it was the actress!!
I have said before that to make this storyline
acceptable and believable a different character
and a more accomplished actress were needed.
The acting doesnt seem to have matured since
her last appearance -many years ago!. And the
actress doesnt seem to be much further
forward-!! in life experience and maturity.
An expression is sometimes used to describe
OTT acting " panto- villian" and thats the effect
this is having on me. There are scenes next
week with Jenny Sophie AND Rita as main part
of drama unfolds........
Those are of course my opinions and some
viewers may be sympathetic to the character.
Mainly because its a tragic story and they are
nice people. But we dont know the whole
background yet and even if it is the way the
actress is saying -I find her attutude patronising
to families who have suffered that loss. Much
more important than annoying me!
I just feel its a shame that Corrie is in such
doldrums and that some storylines and
performances?? Inc this - wont help.
If the voting figures prove the opposite - so
be it !
Addl notes.
The only "excuse" I can find for the tone of
the interview is it was written by the producer**
but issued in her name.Or she received coaching
- a longish stint in a soap is still prized!
** Question posed and answered so that any
"off- message" viewers are reminded what to
think!!
I was innoculated against " luvvie-dom at
an early age - but wont go into the circs!!

I can't wait that she's gone. Very bad acting as well.
I can understand that she could get on someones nerves. I am actually enjoying the Jenny storyline apart from when Sophie gets a look in. It will be over soon and Jenny will be gone. Unfortunately Sophie is here to stay.
I'm not sure why they had to bring Jenny back as a character for this storyline?
Kevin could've dated anyone, a new character to the same end?
