Jenny Connor devastated as Leo Thompkins body is found in Coronation Street – but will she work out the truth?
HELL could be about to break loose in the cobbles, one year after Leo Thompkins’ sudden disappearance.
Will his fiancée Jenny Connor learn what really happened to the hunk as his body is found this week in Coronation Street?
Rovers landlady Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) made big plans to leave Weatherfield to settle down in Canada with Leo last year.
However, these were turned on their head when Jenny found out Leo had seemingly skipped town without her, thus ending their engagement without any explanation.
Months have since gone by, leaving Jenny to heal from the abrupt breakup and move on.
In recent scenes of the ITV soap, she finally decided to give Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) a chance and the pair are all loved-up.
This was despite Elaine Jones trying to warn Jenny about Stephen’s underhanded tactics and risky behaviour.
Coming up this week, Stephen and Jenny return from their romantic getaway in Paris.
Once they arrive, Jenny tells Stephen it’s time he moved into the pub as she’s ready for their relationship to evolve.
Stephen returns to work full of the joys, but his mood soon changes when he hears a dead body has been found on Ed and Ronnie’s building site.
Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) most recently betrayed his own brother Ed (Trevor Michael Georges), pushing him to take part in an estate plot and potentially triggering his gambling addiction.
Doing his best to mask his inner turmoil as he’s fully aware one of his many crimes may have been uncovered, Stephen makes out he has a migraine.
Later on at the pub, Stephen presses Ed for more details.
When Ed confirms that it was definitely a man’s body, Stephen’s heart sinks.
A uniformed Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) then calls at the pub and breaks the news to Jenny that the body is that of her former fiancé Leo Thompkins.
Jenny reels in shock, is the game up for Stephen?
As mentioned above, Jenny and Leo were planning to leave Weatherfield for Canada as they were ready to get married prior to his disappearance.
