Coronation Street legend decides to buy the Rovers
Coronation Street legend Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) was left gutted in recent scenes when Carla Connor (Alison King) revealed her plans to sell the Rovers.
Jenny and Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) have been in debt to Carla for well over a year, after secretly taking the money Stephen Reid had stole from Underworld.
When Carla found out about their betrayal, she was absolutely furious, and Daisy and Jenny have been trying to pay it back in instalments ever since – though they’ve yet to make much of a dent.
Earlier this year, the situation escalated when Carla was forced to seek private healthcare for another kidney transplant and demanded that the money be paid back in full.
With Daisy and Jenny unable to fork out, Carla had to borrow money from Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) to fund her surgery.
Carla recently told Jenny that she had no choice but to put the pub on the market, as she refused to be in debt to a child any longer.
Jenny was devastated, but Carla put her foot down, insisting that she didn’t have time to wait for Jenny to pay her back.
Next week, Jenny breaks the news of the sale to Daisy, but fails to mention that she’s asked Carla for first refusal and hopes to buy the place herself.
When Daisy later gets tipsy, she starts to make digs at Carla for selling the pub from underneath them, which certainly doesn’t win her any favours with the factory boss.
Following Daisy’s outburst, Christina Midgeley (Amy Robbins) overhears Carla telling Jenny that she’d be better off buying the pub without Daisy, calling her a spoilt madam.
Furious, Christina and Daisy vow to take Jenny down once and for all.
Will Jenny regret going behind Daisy’s back, or will the Midgeley’s be caught out before their plan can come to pass?
