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.

Later on at the pub, Stephen presses Ed for more details.
