Jenny Bradley was working as a papergirl for Rita Fairclough when her mother Pat was killed in a car accident and she moved in to No. 7 as Rita's foster daughter. Following her mother's death, Jenny was reunited with her father Alan, whom she had not seen for six years and although she initially felt bitterness towards him, they soon bonded as he settled into No. 7 with Rita.
When she was seventeen, Jenny went on a school trip to France, where she met medical student Patric Podevin and fell in love with him. Patric followed her back to Weatherfield and they got engaged, though Patric promised Alan that he would wait until he had finished his studies before getting married. After he discovered that Jenny had been seen kissing another man at a local party, Patric called off the engagement and returned to France.
Despite having stopped Alan as he tried to kill Rita on the evening of her 18th birthday, she stood by her father throughout and after his trial, but was constantly torn between her loyalty to him and her love for Rita. In 1990, she started to study biology at Weatherfield Polytechnic, and when Rita moved out of No. 7 to one of the new flats on the other side of the Street, she was happy to rent the house to Jenny and her friend Flick Khan from the polytechnic. Jenny soon dropped out of her course and started an affair with a married dentist, Robert Weston, and when he left his wife she moved in with him. The relationship did not last and in 1993, when Robert went back to his wife, Jenny arrived on Rita's doorstep again and tried to con her out of money. Rita gave her £1,000 and threw her out. Jenny was briefly mentioned in July 2010 by Rita to Tina McIntyre who saw her photograph in Rita's flat.
