In 2015, Jenna spoke about her decision to leave Neighbours and relocate to Los Angeles in order to pursue her acting career abroad.

‘I know it’s a very different game there, but I have a couple of friends who already live and work there. Everyone’s experience is different, of course, but I’m very excited to start my own journey,’ she told the Weekly Review.

‘[Chris is] very good, with our jobs and life everything works really well, he’s my best friend,’ she said at the time, adding: ‘And LA, he’s coming with me, he’ll be finishing up [on Neighbours] too.’

Chris is now back on Neighbours, having returned to the soap in 2018, while Jenna never reprised her role. 

Jenna recently landed a huge new role on a Netflix Original series, Firefly Lane, starring Katherine Heigl, Sarah Chalke and Ben Lawson.
