[edit] Character history
Jenny came to Port Charles with an environmentalist group called the Greenbelts. They were protested the arrival of the Quartermaine chemical boat. When the boat was pulling into dock, it exploded and sank. Jenny's brother, Bill Eckert and her cousin, Joey Moscini were on the boat. After the boat explosion, Jenny met Ned Ashton and Paul Hornsby. Paul was recently named CEO of ELQ. She was in love with both men. Jenny's father suffered a heart attack and died. She received a good inheritance. After her father's death, her mother Angela, moved to Portland and she enrolled in college courses. Jenny was torn between Paul and Ned until Paul became engaged to Tracy Quartermaine. Paul married Tracy and he was stabbed by Cesar Faison. Jenny stayed by Paul's side in the hospital, which annoyed Tracy. He professed his love to her and she told him that she loved him.
Jenny wanted Paul to leave Tracy, but she announced that she was pregnant. Ned asked her to marry him and she accepted. They had a big Quartermaine wedding. Cesar Faison had planted a bomb in Jenny's bouquet. Paul grabbed the bouquet and saved the day. Jenny told Ned that she was a virgin. In fact, she had an affair with Senator Jack Kensington when she was 16 and became pregnant. She lost the child. Tracy hired someone to dig up Jenny's past in an attempt to make Paul hate her. When the news came out it drew the two closer together. Ned divorced Jenny. Paul left Tracy when he learned that she was behind the break up.
Ned and Jenny were divorced but Tracy and Paul were still married. Ned was jealous of Jenny and Paul's relationship. He blackmailed Paul into giving him his shares of ELQ or he would expose Jenny's underage affair. Paul gave him the shares and Ned exposed the secret anyway. Jenny was walking and was hit by a car accidentally. The driver was Tracy. Tracy thought that Jenny was dead and left the scene. When Jenny recovered she told the police that she did not know who the driver was. She knew it was Tracy. She went to Tracy and told her to leave Paul or she would tell the police that she was the driver. Edward Quartermaine discovered what Tracy had done and kicked her out of the Quartermaine mansion. Tracy left town.
Jenny and Paul were finally a couple. They were at the wedding of Mac Scorpio and Felicia Jones. After Ryan Chamberlain showed up wearing a bomb, Felicia and Mac called off their wedding. Paul and Jenny decided to get married right then. Jenny learned that she was pregnant with Paul's baby. While alone in the park, she went into labor. When she arrived at the hospital the nurses called Ned instead of Paul. Ned arrived at the hospital thinking that his current wife, Lois Cerullo was injured. Ned was mad when he arrived at the hospital and saw Jenny. It was too late to call Paul, so Ned stepped in and helped her deliver her baby.
