Trading Up:
Jenna exchanges Jeffrey for Buzz
SID: May 1997

"Jenna needs drama in her life", says her protrayer Fiona Hutchison.


Buzz and Jenna's sex suite may be shutdown sooner than either one: of them had expected.  The lovebirds knew that they were playing with fire renting out the hotel suite next to Jeffrey's. But with Jenna being held captive by him, the former jewel thief had her cake and was eating it, too; once she was done playing house with Jeffrey, she could go next door and play doctor with Buzz.

It's all about love," says Fiona Hutchison, Jenna's portrayer "She's in love with Buzz, and she's blinded by that whenever he's in the room, she just doesn't have any sense.  They make some very silly moves and they get caught.'

The cat that got out of the bag has a name: Eleni.  Mrs. Cooper, who has been catering for the hotel, is suspicious when her check arrives missing a few zeros.  She puts the pieces of the puzzle together and realizes that her father-in-law made a deal with the hotel staff.  In exchange for Eleni's catering services, he gets the suite next to Jeffrey’s, thereby eliminating  the proverbial paper trail.  Furious that he would do such a thing without telling her, she confronts him.

Well, Eleni's comings and goings are what tip off Jeffrey to the risky business going on next door.  Jeffrey, steaming mad, has it out with his wife.  Too bad his big ambush takes an unexpected turn.  Instead of recoiling and apologizing, Jenna tells him that their marriage is over and that her heart is with Buzz.

Hutchison admits that Jeffrey’s vile threats may not have been the only thing keeping her alter ego handcuffed to her husband.  "I think that she is attracted to him in a way," she says.  "There needs to be a reason why she got together with him in the first place."

Whether Jenna has lingering feelings for Jeffrey remains to be seen.  For the time being, she's a one-man woman.  After dissing the hubby, she scoops up Coop and surprises Buzz at the firehouse, just in time to wish him a happy birthday.  *
