Viewers may remember he had a thing for her a few years ago, while Gemma seemed glad to see the back of him. As well as reconnecting with Gemma, Henry was also seen as a potential saviour of the Rovers Return Inn as Jenny Connor is forced to seek help and a new buyer in a bid to stop the pub being destroyed. However, after asking brewery owner Philip Newton for help, Henry's father, Jenny was disheartened to learn they do not want the venue. Viewers will recall that Henry also has a past with Jenny after he previously tried to scam her and Johnny into compensation after staging an "accident" in the pub's cellar. However, Henry star George has insisted his character's intentions, this time round, are genuine. He told Metro: "He came close to being the landlord during his last time in the street. I think the Rovers for him, as well as for many of Corrie's viewers, holds a special place in his heart. He has a lot of fond memories, he enjoys going to a place that his granddad Cecil loved as well. "And actually, I think there's a fondness for his granddad and the Rovers too, It has some really powerful memories for him and I don't think he had realised that until now. It's a place that he holds quite dear. So yeah, I think he is genuinely interested in trying to help, I'm not sure he is thinking about the business side and his heart is ruling his head a bit." Elsewhere, actor George admitted that Henry's intentions are honest with ex Gemma, played by Dolly-Rose Campbell. He said: "I do think for him there is that sort of romantic aspect to it. When you meet an old flame you can't help but be reminded of the times you had together and for him they were good times before it all went wrong and that was his fault.){kind=link}
