Coronation Street fans are worried for Jenny Connor, as they reckon they’ve rumbled a sinister connection between her late husband Johnny and her new boyfriend Leo.
Leo has been getting closer to Jenny – even desperate for her to meet his parents, and introducing her to his friends when they turned up at the Rovers Return.
Jenny, for her part, left fans worried on Monday as she once again snuck downstairs to apply make-up before her toy-boy boyfriend could see her without – only to find him up cooking breakfast.
But fans think there could be a more sinister link when it comes to Leo, as they think he’s out for revenge against Jenny – perhaps after crossing Johnny when he was behind bars.
Johnny was locked up for a historic crime last year, before he eventually died attempting to rescue Jenny from the sinkhole.
Taking to social media, one fan wrote: “Leo is using Jenny. Since when would he take such an interest in an older woman like Jenny?
“I wonder if Leo is someone that Johnny messed with when he was in prison.”
Another followed up: “Leo is 100% gonna be a villain. He’s got that villainous, sinister look on his face! #Corrie.”

“Don’t trust Leo!” someone else echoed, while a fourth fan penned: “I don’t trust Leo. I think he’s after something off Jenny, like money or something.”
However, some were quick to slam the theory of Leo’s connection to Johnny, as one fan pointed out: “No, I’m sure Johnny met him and said he seemed a nice bloke?”
Later in Monday’s episode, Jenny confided in Debbie about her make-up scheme, as she said: “He caught me all pillow-creased and blotchy!”

She later apologised to Leo for looking “a right state” – but he simply said: “No, I thought you looked well sexy.”
“That’ll save you a right load on slap!” Debbie told Jenny as the pair giggled.
Later, Carla brought up Johnny in the pub as she accused Jenny of getting “distracted” by Leo, after she forgot to transfer money to Kate.
With a parting shot of “Maybe you should get your priorities straight, starting with that new fella – whoever he might be” – hinting that there definitely could be something sinister about Leo.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7:30pm on ITV.
