I did wonder about that when I read that Maddie finds out and confronts her. If this confrontation happens on the balcony shown in the pictures, maybe Maddie falls off during a scuffle?

That would be novel...just ask Tina....er.....

With threat of infant being thrown from
tall building( 3 times in several years)
and adult falling/pushed from balcony
(twice in few months) both possibly
repeated in same week.?? in a small
street !!
A script writers conference for new idea
is needed??

Well it was only a guess of mine that Maddie falls from the balcony - so it's more than likely wrong!

If it turns out to be correct maybe she falls stopping Jack from going over? If you look back at the photos (here) there's one with Jenny looking over the balcony with complete horror (which is what gave me the idea that Maddie falls - as I'm sure Jack won't).

I hope if she kills Maddie it's unintentional or my theory that Jenny's child died of a tragic accident's looking decidedly shaky!

I cant see/think why Maddie would suddenly leave the street unless she dies?

everything is going ok with her, and with Sophie, so it has to be a death. Maybe she gets trapped in the flats and becomes a fire victim?

It makes sense though, Maddie races after her as she found out what Jenny is up to ... Jenny has become very spiteful in hiding her desire to be mum to Jack ... picture of her looking down ... actress playing Maddie is due to leave ... I am sure you are on a winner there, Dazzle and I think it is intentional .. [url=http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/]

Coronation Street star Sally Ann Matthews has spoken about Jenny Bradley's big secret for the first time, admitting that her troubled character has "totally lost it".

Next week's dramatic episodes of the ITV soap see Jenny attempt to flee from the cobbles with Kevin Webster's son Jack, having developed an unhealthy obsession with the youngster.

Jenny's shock plan is interrupted when Maddie Heath catches her packing her bags and wearing a disguise, but the big question is whether she can warn Kevin and Sophie before it's too late.

While Jenny's actions may seem extreme, viewers will learn that she is struggling to cope following the traumatic death of her own child. Jenny hasn't dealt with her grief properly and is desperate to 'protect' Jack, seeing him as her own.

Maddie is perplexed to find Jenny at No.13 wearing a wig with her bags packed.

Jenny plans to flee from Weatherfield

Discussing Jenny's plan, Matthews explained: "I've not played it as premeditated at all. I don't believe that Jenny has planned any of it. You've got to remember that when Jack's childminder was ill a few weeks ago, Jenny was very reluctant to look after Jack.

"You've got to remember that she really didn't want to get involved. As soon as she did, she tried to break it off with Kevin. Kevin assumed that she was breaking it off because she thought that Rita was uncomfortable with their relationship. It wasn't that - it was just that her past was starting to come into her head and she didn't know what to do with it.

"That's the beginning of where we're going to go with this storyline. Jenny did have a child who died in the past. We are now going to see the consequences of that with what Jenny is going to do. She's got a deluded idea that she has to run off with Jack in order to keep him safe, so she's going to be very conflicted. She's totally lost it."

The actress admitted that she is nervous about how fans may react when they see Jenny's unstable behaviour escalate.

She laughed: "Sometimes the public assume you are that person. It was bad enough when Jenny slapped Maria, God knows what it's going to be like now! I'll have to start putting Jenny's dark wig on!

"But there is a genuine reason why Jenny is behaving the way she is. I'm not playing it that she's a 'nutter'. Because of that, when it all finally comes out, I think there could be some understanding."

Jenny then makes a secret phone call and confirms that she and Jack will be moving to Hull that evening!

Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn has also offered his thoughts on the storyline, praising Matthews for exploring the difficult subject matter with sensitivity.

He said: "I think why the story is working is the way Sally Ann is playing it. I've never considered that character a 'nutter'. She's a terribly damaged woman whose life stopped the day her child died. She's just been unable, however hard she tries, to move away from that."

Coronation Street airs at 9pm every night next week on ITV.
