Jenna has previously opened up about how long she will be playing the role for, and admitted that she might have to quit the show as the character gets older. "We're deciding on a series-by-series basis," she explained. "In the next one she's starting to look a bit more matronly, she's had six or seven children, so a bit wider, bit more of a bust, the make-up is more drawn… but there will come a point in her story when no amount of prosthetic make-up or me lowering my voice will be convincing enough."

Jenna also recently discussed her new show The Cry, and revealed that she was keen to do something very different from Victoria as a mother whose child is kidnapped. "The Cry is a real contrast to Victoria, and Victoria was a real contrast to Doctor Who," she said. "That was the attraction for me. If I'd been offered something sci-fi after Doctor Who I probably would have turned it down. I've never done anything like a psychological thriller before."
