Corrie fans slam 'creepy' character's 'inappropriate' behaviour

Coronation Street fans are wary of a new character on the cobbles after witnessing what they think was 'inappropriate' behaviour.

Hearts went out to Jenny Connor on Monday night's Corrie as she grieved for her estranged husband Johnny after he drowned in a storm drain last week.

A devastated Jenny, played by Sally Ann Matthews, wept as she listened to music and drank alone in the Rovers Return as remembered the man she had loved.

But her thoughts were interrupted by a banging on the pub door and a voice telling her she shouldn't be on her own.

She opened the door to find newcomer Leo, who she had briefly been dating before disaster struck.

And as he stepped inside the pub to comfort Jenny fans thought it was 'creepy' and took to Twitter to air their concern.

"Leo being there for Jenny is so inappropriate right now. She needs time to grieve for her husband," said one.

"I don't like Leo he's a bit creepy. Jenny deserves better. She's grieving for her late ex-husband," another tweeted.

"Finding Leo a bit creepy," wrote another.

"Leo do one," another ordered.

"Oh no Jenny Leo is a creep I don't know what part he has to play something not right with him I'm sure we will find out soon," another worried viewer wrote.

While another wondered: "I don't trust this Leo. What's he up to?!"

But others applauded him for being there for the Rovers Return landlady.

"Leo is a top guy, bless him. Standing by Jenny through this. I really hope they stay together," said one.

"I love Leo so much," another tweeted,.

Leo, played by Joe Frost, arrived on Coronation Street earlier this month to work on the sinkhole at the Platt's.

At first Jenny was trying to set him up with her stepdaughter Daisy Midgeley, but then it became clear that it was Jenny he was interested in.
