Rob Donovan - Jenna Kamara

Jenna Kamara, played by Krissi Bohn, made her first screen appearance on 19 September 2012. The character and casting was announced on 26 July 2012. Bohn joined the cast at the same time as Pamela Nomvete and like her, she was cast after an audition with Craig Charles. Charles revealed that Bohn was close to giving up acting when she received a call about the audition for Jenna.

Jenna is Mandy's (Nomvete) daughter, who learns that Lloyd Mullaney (Charles) is her biological father. Series producer Phil Collinson described Jenna as being "a clever, educated young woman, whose life will be turned upside down as she struggles to come to accept Lloyd as her real father." Jenna works at the local hospital and she later moves to Weatherfield with her mother. Charles stated that Jenna is initially wary of Lloyd, after learning the man she thought was her father is not. Jenna's storyline revolves around overcoming that situation. Charles explained "So at first we're in total shock, and Jenna doesn't really take the news very well. Lloyd really doesn't want to replace Johnny, because it's 28 years later and he's missed the bike rides, teaching her to swim and all of that. Basically, he just wants a relationship where he can get to know her, and see where things go from there." Lloyd attempts to get to know Jenna better and try to make things right with her. He turns up at her place of work and she threatens to call security on him. When he returns he manages to convince her to meet him for dinner. They initially go to the Bistro, but later bond over a hotpot in the Rovers Return. An Inside Soap writer commented "As Lloyd reassures Jenna he's not out to replace the man she thinks of as her father, things begin to look up..." The Daily Mail's Jaci Stephen wrote "Krissi Bohn is very impressive and totally believable as Jenna, what's less believable is that anyone springing from Lloyd's loins could be this smart."
