History:
Jenna first appeared in Washington D.C., March/1992. She hid her stolen jewels in Mallet's luggage and used him as an unsuspecting mule. She then later retrieved them in Springfield and stayed when she decided Alex Spaulding would be her next big mark. She wanted to steal the Spaulding jewels. Jenna successfully stole the jewels, but was upset that Harley had pretended to be her protoge all the while trying to get evidence on her to arrest her. She devised a plan to plant evidence on Harley and then use Melinda's wedding case to hide to rest of the jewels and have Melinda carry them out of town unsuspectingly. Then the Blackout of July/1994 hit The Towers and Jenna was stuck in the elevator with Michelle. Instead of escaping up the shaft she remained to calm Michelle's fears. At the last minute she did escape up the shaft, saw Roger and caught his eye, but was caught by Mallet at the top. The jewels were then found by Harley hid in Michelles clothing. Roger began being Jenna's mysterious benefactor. He bailed her out of jail, paid her hotel bill etc. She was intrigued and flattered and they began an affair. Roger had planned to blackmail Alex for Jenna but Jenna beat him to it. She pieced together info she heard the night of the robbery about Alex paying Roger to ruin Mindy and Nicks wedding and blackmailed Alex into dropping the charges. Ross then tried to have her deported as an undesirable alien. Jenna then set out to prove she had citizenship b/c her father was American. She found a photo of a car, from the early 60's, in front of house in her mothers belongings. She traced the license plate to Spaulding. She went to Henry with the photo but when he saw it he became upset and lied to Jenna that he would try and help her. As Jenna closed in with more and more info Henry lied and said he was her father. Jenna was genuinely overjoyed since she adored Henry. Jenna later found out that Roger had once tried to ruin Henry and drove him to attempt suicide. She moved in with Henry and Roger was furious and began his own digging. He found out her father was really Clyde Wynant and inventor that had discovered a revolutionary way to find oil that most of Spauldings Billion'a was built on. On X-Mas Day Roger gave these papers to Jenna and she confronted Henry, still disbelieving, but when Henry cdn't even tell her the color of her mother's eyes she knew he had lied. Jenna was devestated at losing her new family and Roger re-inserted himself into her life. He fed her need for justice by telling her that Clyde had been cheated, framed and imprisoned where he was left to die, which is why he never came to claim her. Roger did not tell Jenna that he purchased a document from Brandon Spaulding's secretary Bess Lowell that proved that Wynant had been paid $5,000 for his invention. Alan-Michael found a copy but lost it when he went searching for Eleni who had run to Frank. Jenna was awarded a huge settlement that only the transfer of Spaulding would compensate.
Jenna gained control of Spaulding. She was on the verge of a relationship with Buzz when her and Roger married. Buzz decided to leave them alone after learning she was pregnant. Buzz was about to propose to Nadine when he realized that he had to help Jenna get her marriage annulled. She was living at the firehouse with Buzz, when Roger stopped by. He told her he would take the baby away when it was born. This caused her alot of unneeded stress and she had a miscarriage. In light of the past few events Roger and Jenna quickly got the marriage annulled.
One would hope for a happy ending, but this is daytime. They quickly ran into money trouble. Jenna wanted to use Eleni’s hand lotion recipe and market it, but they didn’t have the money. Jenna figured out the ingredients to Eleni's grandmother's homemade hand lotion, and decided to go into business with it with out informing or crediting Eleni. She called it "Leicester Square Lotion." Buzz helped her mix the ingredients etc, helping her to get the buisness off the ground. Later Alan-Michael gave her seed money, $1,000, to get her product off the ground and create a presentation to woo investors. Alan-Micheal introduced her to Spaulding contacts from the Pharmecutical Division with out informing Alex. Alan-Micheal offered Jenna a more substantial backing for a partnership but Jenna didn't want to step on Buzz's toes and turned him down.
After Buzz was arrested because of the Pauly Hardman affair Jenna offered Alan-Micheal a partnership to raise the money to help Buzz pay back the stolen money that Nadine had flushed down the toilet. Buzz misunderstood, and thought she was selling him out which led to further separation.
Eleni then joined the company. But Alex found out and threatened to sue Alan-Micheal for using Spaulding contacts with out her consent. Alan-Micheal then left the company, as did Eleni who couldn't deal with Alex's lawsuit or A-M's romantic advances and the strain on her marriage to Frank. Jenna, alone and pregnant, was approached by Alan to work for him in getting back Spaulding. When Jenna left town, Alan bought what was left of the company from her. While all this strain was being put on Buzz and Jenna's relationship, Nadien seized the moment. She convinced Buzz to marry her to get on a gameshow and win money. Jenna thought it was for real, which just gave her another reason to leave town. She left town, with some help from Alan, in 94'.(She gave birth in Rio De Janeiro in Christmas 94’)
She returned to Springfield in Christmas of 96’ with her evil husband Jefferey Morgan in tow. The Coopers scammed Jefferey in New York City. They framed him for exstorsion using Phillip’s Spaulding bonds. To cover all the bases Buzz and Eleni went to Switzerland and emptied Jeffy-boys safety deposit box(He had evidence that could prove Jenna stole jewels all across Europe).
After all this stuff they had to go through they still had to deal with one problem, and her name is Nola Reardon. She began stalking Buzz and scaring Jenna. Buzz finally learned it was her and confronted her at the Bauer cabin. He suffered a bizarre twist of fate and fell down a flight of stairs, developing amnesia. While Buzz was busy losing his memory, Jenna was busy getting some bad news of her own--she found out that she was pregnant with Jefferey Morgan’s baby. A fluke accident in the writing department caused Buzz to miraculously regain his memory without any of us knowing. He also opted to raise Jenna’s baby as his own, which as Martha Stewart would say, “Is a good thing.”
Well, after a three-month hiatus Jenna and Buzz were back! Jenna returned from England and Buzz wanted to get married ASAP. Jenna was hesitant but didn't really say anything. Her and Harley went to Vanessa's first ever "Second Chances" meeting. In the middle of the meeting Jenna went into labor. Buzz showed up(he was bringing Jesse, supposedly to bring vitamins but it was actually to see Michelle) and went with Jenna to the hospital. When they arrived Buzz rushed off to find Griffin. He wanted to marry Jenna before the baby came. At first everyone thought that Buzz's plans were going to be spoiled by Charles but Buzz signed some papers and they were allowed to proceed with the ceremony. They wed(yipee!!). Harley was the maid of honor, Frank best man and anyone and everyone in that waiting room were witnesses! Soon after they became Mr. and Mrs. Buzz Cooper, Jenna gave birth to a baby boy, who has yet to be named(Even though it's probably going to be Ian Stavros.).
I'm sad to report that since the last update of this character page, Jenna has passed away. One evening she came to the apartment to find Holly there. Trying to be sensitive and understanding, she talked with Holly not knowing that Jefferey Morgan was outside her door. Jenna and Holly got into an arguement and Holly told Jenna that she knew that Rocky's father was really Jefferey and not Buzz. Jefferey overheard this and barged in. He demanded that Jenna take him to see his son. Rather than let him harm her boys and Buzz, Jenna decided to steer her car off the road. Jefferey died instantly in the crash, but Jenna held on long enough to call Buzz and let him know where she was. He arrived at the scene of the accident and she passed away in his arms.
