Corrie fans worry for Jenny as Leo will be 'exposed' as villain

Coronation Street fans think Jenny Connor's new boyfriend Leo might not be who he says he is.

Following Johnny's death, Leo has grown closer to Jenny and the two have now taken their relationship to the next level.

And Leo has been desperate for Jenny to meet his parents and his friends.

But fans think Leo may have a sinister side.

Some viewers think Leo may be seeking 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, reports the Daily Star.

Taking to social media, one fan said: "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 said: "Leo is 100% gonna be a villain. He's got that villainous, sinister look on his face! #Corrie."

A third added: "Don't trust Leo!"

And a fourth fan tweeted: "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."

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 7.30 pm on ITV.
