Said to Buzz Cooper on January 12, 1994, when Roger was thought to be dead and in her quirky way she admits she loves Buzz for the first time and then they make love for the first time at the firehouse:
"No.....(gently puts gun down....softly says) No...I was thinking about something you said. About the possibility of Roger coming back. I did tell him that I shot him, and I think I convinced him, but I can't really be sure. One thing I am certain about is that he was obsessed with the child that I'm carrying...was carrying... Anyway, I'm sure he's feeling a certain amount of guilt, because...he was partially responisble for my...losing it. I don't think he's going to come back to torture me anymore. But you...you're a whole other subject. He detests you. Because he knows that no matter how many times I denied it that I was falling in love with you...I am in love with you. I adore you. Everything you've done. You've protected me, you've looked out for me, you've been there. And I want to do the same for you. I will not let Roger, or anyone, touch a single hair on your head."
Jenna to Michelle Bauer about Buzz, when Michelle is questioning if she's actually falling in love with Jesse, September 1997:
"I don't know. Buzz is the most infuriating man I've ever met. He's moody, he's unpredictable, he's .... sometimes he's high on life, and it's all anyone can do to keep him from flying off into the sky like a bunch of helium balloons, and then the next minute he's got his nose buried in some Greek mythology, and after that he's just plain foolish. I caught him this morning in the room with Coop, and he was trying to teach him the difference between classical music and modern jazz. Little Coop, who says "mommy" and "breakfast" and "bread" and that's about it. He was trying to tell him to ask me to buy an album by Thelonius Monk. That is what I'm dealing with!"
November 30, 1993. The fight between Roger Thorpe and a pregnant Jenna where Roger will threaten her with taking the baby away from her. This takes place in the master bedroom of the Spaulding mansion, with Roger in a suit and Jenna in her robe, and Roger had admitted that he did indeed manufacture a fake past for Jenna, in order for her to gain power at Spaulding, but is begging for her forgiveness. Jenna has refused to listen and we pick this scene up from Jenna's refusal:
Jenna: "YOU HAVE NEVER HAD RE..."
Roger: "THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!"
Jenna (during this whole part of Jenna's lines, Roger has his mouth wide open):
."..SPECT FOR ME! YOU TALK ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THINGS!!! OH, BUT THEY WERE FOR THE WRONG REASONS!!! OH, AND I SHOULD FORGIVE YOU FOR THE UNFORGIVABLE! AND IF I'M NOT ABLE TO THEN IT IS MY ... INEFFICIENCY THAT JUST CAN'T DO IT! WELL, YOU ARE A PATHETIC LITTLE MAN! YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE WHAT IT IS YOU DO TO PEOPLE! AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE ... uh, ... uh, what? Coming first? I'm not even the first one, am I?! THERE'S HOLLY, THERE'S ALEXANDRA! GOD KNOWS HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE THERE ARE ... I'M SURE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW, HUH?!!
Roger (says this with raised fist): "YOU, STOP IT!!"
Jenna (equally angry): "NO ..."
Roger (still determined): "STOP IT!!"
Jenna (starts pointing her finger right in his face): .".. I'M NOT DONE, YET!! AND I'LL TELL YOU WHEN I'M DONE! I'LL BE DONE WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO WAY ON EARTH THAT I'M EVER ... LETTING YOU BACK INTO MY LIFE!! THAT YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO COME NEAR THIS, BABY!! YOU ARE RIGHT ... IT IS ABOUT MY PREGNANCY!! And this baby deserves a lot more! No father would be better THAN YOU!"
--Roger turns around very ashen face, but Jenna follows him around and continues pointing at his face, well Roger's face gets angrier--
Jenna (still pointing her finger): "THAT'S RIGHT!! NONE, WHATSOEVER, WOULD BE BETTER THAN YOU! YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS CHILD, SO HELP ME!!! YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT! NOW, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!! CAUSE, ... JUST GO!"
--Jenna points to the bedroom door and Roger turns around and starts heading out--
Jenna: "GET OUT! OH ... DON'T COME BACK, DON'T CALL, I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN!!"
Roger (turns around before going out to face her): "LISTEN YOU: I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO YOU! NOW, I MADE A BIG MISTAKE! BUT I NEVER BETRAYED YOU, HONEY!! NOT THE WAY YOU�RE BETRAYING ME, NOW!!" (Jenna is now the one with the dropped jaw.) "OH ... WHAT DID YOU THINK?! THAT YOU WERE JUST GOING TO THROW ME AWAY!? WHAT AM I, JUST A PEICE OF GARBAGE?!! I'M NOT JUST GOING TO BE SUCKED INTO SOME BLACK HOLE AND DISAPPEAR! IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK?!!"
Jenna: "I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ..."
Roger: "SHUT UP ..."
Jenna: .".. WHAT YOU DO!!!"
Roger: "I GUESS IT'S WHAT YOU WANTED ALL ALONG! BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT WOULDN'T BE SO EASY FOR YOU!!! You know ... under other circumstances you would be right, you would have the right to leave me. But you are never, ever, EVER, EVER, GOING TO TAKE MY BABY AWAY FROM ME!!!"
--As Roger says the next lines he starts re-approaching Jenna, backing her up into the bed.--
Roger: "I want you to be REALLY CLEAR about this. You remember that recurring dream you had? It scared the hell out of you, about the guy in the fog and you could never quite figure out who it was. Well, that dream turned out to be PROPHETIC. DIDN'T IT? Because that guy happened to be me. And the dream's not going away and I'M not going away!"
--Roger grabs Jenna harshly by her shoulders and she screeches--
Roger: "You�re not going to escape ME! You understand? There's no place on this EARTH ..."
--Roger shakes Jenna and she moans--
Roger: .".... that you can run, that I won't FIND YOU! Because this baby, that you�re carrying is much mine as MY FIST!"
--Roger actually forms a his left fist and points it right to her face, and then he lets it go and points to his eyes--
Roger: .".. OR MY EYES!"
--Roger again makes a fist of his left hand--
Roger: "IT BELONGS TO ME AND TO MY BODY, JUST AS MUCH AS IT BLONGS TO YOURS! And while some day, I may be ... I can give you up, ... I WILL NEVER SURRENDER MY OWN FLESH!!"
--Roger lets go of his fist, and forcefully throws Jenna on the bed as Jenna moans again--
Roger: "Now, you go and get yourself a good nights sleep. And in the morning, after the hearing I'm going to come and lay SPAULDING at your feet, again; which shouldn't surprise you, since I tend to get WHAT I WANT. DON'T I!!?? Bess is going to help me, she's going to let me buy her off."
--Roger says the next line by coming up really close to Jenna's face--
Roger: "I WIN, Jenna!"
--Roger turns around to leave and as he leaves deliberately knocks over some tray with a ceramic tea set on it, which breaks much of the tea service, and Jenna has a very scared look on her face--
Jenna Bradshaw was in Springfield on and off since 1992. When she first arrived in Springfield, as a jewel thief, it was to retrieve a brooch that she had put in a carrying bag belonging to police officer Harley Cooper. She stayed when she decided Alexandra 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 prot�g� all the while trying to get evidence on her to arrest her. She devised a plan to plant evidence on Harley and then use Mindy Lewis's wedding case to hide to rest of the jewels and have Melinda carry them out of town unsuspectingly. Then the Blackout of July/1992 hit The Towers and Jenna was stuck in the elevator with Michelle Bauer. 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 Thorpe and caught his eye, but was caught by Detective Mallet at the top. The jewels were then found by Harley hidden in Michelle's clothing. Roger then 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 because her father was American. She found a photo of a car, from the early 60's, in front of house in her mother's belongings. She traced the license plate to Spaulding. She went to Henry Chamberlain 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 an inventor that had discovered a revolutionary way to find oil that most of Spaulding's billion's was built on. On Christmas Day Roger gave these papers to Jenna and she confronted Henry, still disbelieving, but when Henry couldn't even tell her the color of her mother's eyes she knew he had lied. Jenna was devastated 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. Alex's nephew Alan-Michael found a copy but lost it when he went searching for Eleni Cooper who had run to Frank. Jenna was awarded a huge settlement that only the transfer of Spaulding would compensate.
As Jenna gained control of Spaulding, she was on the verge of a relationship with Buzz Cooper but she married to Roger. Buzz decided to leave them alone after learning she was pregnant. Buzz was about to propose to his ex-wife Nadine when he realized that he had to help Jenna get her marriage annulled. Jenna was now 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 a lot of unneeded stress and she had a miscarriage. In light of those events Roger and Jenna quickly got the marriage annulled. Now separated from Roger, Jenna quickly ran into money trouble. Wanting to use Eleni's hand lotion recipe and market it, Jenna figured out the ingredients and decided to go into business with it without informing or crediting Eleni. Buzz helped her mix the ingredients etc., helping her to get the business 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-Michael introduced her to Spaulding contacts from the Pharmaceutical Division without informing Alex and offered Jenna a more substantial backing for a partnership but Jenna didn't want to step on Buzz's toes and turned him down.
Eleni then joined the company. But Alex found out and threatened to sue Alan-Michael for using Spaulding contacts without her consent. Alan-Michael 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, Nadine seized the moment. She convinced Buzz to marry her to get on a game show 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 to Henry Cooper Bradshaw in Rio De Janeiro on Christmas)
Jenna returned to Springfield in Christmas of 96' with her evil husband Jeffrey Morgan in tow. Knowing he was a criminal, the Coopers scammed Jeffrey in New York City and framed him for extortion using Phillip Spaulding's bonds. To cover all the bases Buzz and Eleni went to Switzerland and emptied Jeffrey's safety deposit box (He had evidence that could prove Jenna stole jewels all across Europe). After all their trouble, Jenna and Buzz still had to deal with one problem, and her name was 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 losing his memory, Jenna was busy getting some bad news of her own--she found out that she was pregnant with Jeffrey Morgan's baby. Soon after Buzz miraculously regained his memory and opted to raise Jenna's baby as his own.
Jenna returned from a trip to England and Buzz wanted to get married As soon as they could. Jenna was hesitant but didn't really say anything. She and Harley went to Vanessa's first ever "Second Chances" meeting. In the middle of the meeting Jenna went into labor. Buzz showed up 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, Jenna's doctor, but Buzz signed some papers and they were allowed to proceed with the ceremony. 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 Ian Stavros Cooper. However, Love was not bliss for long when Jeffrey came back. He knew of Ian being his son because of overhearing Holly, the stalker, and demanded to see him at once. Jenna got in the car with him on the pretense of going to see Ian and wrecked the car. Jeffrey died but so did Jenna, she did live long enough to see Buzz and tell him she loved him and to take care of their children.
On Mother's Day 2006, Jenna paied an other-worldly visit to Coop, now an adult. At this point in his life, Coop was all set to marry Lizzie Spaulding whom he believed he'd gotten pregnant. Jenna tried to make Coop see that marrying Lizzie was not an option without letting on what she knew--the baby wasn't his. Although Coop initially decided to forgo his mother's advice, when the time came to propose to Lizzie, he found he couldn't do it. Later that day, Jenna, as well as Nadine, voiced their opinions about Olivia Spencer, who was caught in a triangle with Frank and Buzz. While Nadine thought Olivia would be bad for Frank but good for Buzz, Jenna didn't like the driven Olivia for either man.
