Jenny Connor, over and out

Jenny Connor made her exit from the cobbles this evening (Wednesday, October 1), but is her farewell from Coronation Street a permanent one?

Tonight, Jenny decided to wave Weatherfield and her friend Rita goodbye and move to Tenerife.

Packing her bags, she smiled as she wheeled her suitcase over the bumpy cobbles for one last time.

Jenny’s lies were rumbled by George Shuttleworth tonight. He found out that Rita was nowhere near as ill as Jenny suggested she was.

Being forced to come clean, Jenny admitted that she had enjoyed his attention. She’d felt a lack of purpose in life since losing the Rovers.

George then put a positive spin on things. He encouraged her to do something she loved.

It wasn’t long before Rita Tanner was giving Jenny the money for a one-way flight to Tenerife, with Jenny hoping she’d find a bar managing job out there.

Saying an emotional goodbye to Rita, Jenny dumped her old Rovers landlady sign with her name on it and headed off for the airport.

Jenny Connor’s exit from Coronation Street – has she gone for good?

With the character of Jenny Connor sadly being axed by show bosses, Jenny’s journey on the cobbles has come to an end.

It seemed that there was little new direction to take the character. And, as it stands, Jenny’s exit looks to be permanent.

In August, a source revealed the reason behind Sally Ann Matthews’ exit as Jenny Connor on the soap. Speaking to The Sun, they shared: “She was central to the soap for so long as Rovers landlady but bosses wanted to go in a new direction.

“Her late night Instagram rants haven’t helped matters but ultimately it was a story-led decision by the team.

“The writing was very much on the wall when Jenny lost the Rovers but an exciting exit has been planned for her.”

But, there have been occasions where characters leave only to come back years later. Could Jenny be one of them?
