Coronation Street actress Krissi Bohn hopes her alter-ego Jenna Kamara will get to enjoy a relationship with Sophie Webster. The pair shared a brief kiss before Sophie's dad Kevin (Michael Le Vell) interrupted their intimate moment, and physiotherapist Jenna now has to face an employment tribunal after being suspended from her job. Despite the setbacks, she told Coronation Street's website: "I'd quite like everything Jenna's been through to be for a reason rather than this all happen and them not get together. "It would be nice to see a proper relationship happen between them, even despite the age gap, it's interesting and different to the relationship that Sophie had with Sian." But she added it may take some time: "At the time of coming out of the tribunal, Jenna's main concerns are sorting out her career and sorting out her family. I don't think she's got the head space for a relationship after everything that's happened." Krissi, who has signed on for another six months, said that Jenna is torn between saving her job and her developing feelings for Sophie (Brooke Vincent). "She's finding it very difficult. Her job is her passion - it's the one thing she's worked so hard for her whole life, her mum is so proud of her and she's really struggling with the thought of losing it all," she explained. "She wants to save her job, but she doesn't know what to do yet. She's torn because she does have feelings for Sophie, but she's desperate to keep her job. Ultimately it's only when she goes in through the doors that she decides what to do."
