[QUOTE="Bobby Southworth, post: 442538, member: 4960"] As I've said before, I think it would have been more interesting to have Jenna either played by Morgan, or in the style of Morgan. I almost look at the 2nd Jenna as a different girlfriend, even though I know she obviously was not. There was just too much about that encounter that didn't make sense, or fit with the timeline/story-line. I didn't mind the actress, ..she seems like she could have oozed more warmth than Jenna #3 ever did, but.. I'm just not sure because...if the writing was going to be the same..no matter who played her. I'm not sure she would have made enough of a difference. As I've also said before.. I've never been 100% if my problem with PP's Jenna was the actress or the writing. As someone else pointed out, Mark and Jenna were more just used as temporary lovers while Bobby and Pam were apart..so the writing wasn't the best for either one, but half tempted to say it was a little better for Mark. I just don't think the writers were fully invested in either character because they were a means to an end.. even though Jenna was there for 5 frickin' years. I guess to a certain extent, they did 'kinda' develop Jenna a little more after Bobby and Pam reunited, but I didn't find what she was developed into any more interesting. [/QUOTE]
