It looks like Weatherfieldās very own wild child Rosie Webster might be strutting
her stuff back down the cobbles anytime soon. Helen Flanagan, who played the sassy daughter
of Sally (Sally Dynevor) and Kevin (Michael Le Vell), made quite the stir
onĀ Coronation StreetĀ when she popped up as a fresh-faced nine year old back in 2000. Audiences have been glued to their screens ever since, watching Rosie transform from troublesome tot to rebellious teen.
But after waving goodbye to the street in 2012 for new acting gigs and a cracking time in the Aussie jungle onĀ Iām A Celebrity, Helen graced the Street once more in 2017, only to leave us again in 2018 to welcome her little bundle of joy, Delilah.
Since then, its all been quiet on the Rosie frontā¦ until now. The rumour mill went into overdrive after Fridayās episode (August 9), where Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine), aka stepdad extraordinaire, was spotted having a cheeky one at the Rovers and spilling the beans about Sally being tied up on the blower with Rosie for a colossal ātwo and a half hours,ā reportsĀ the Express.
The Corrie die-hards didnāt miss a beat, hitting up social media faster than you can say āhotpotā with speculations galore. One eager beaver tweeted: ā2-hour phone call? Whatās happened? Is she coming back?ā
Another fan was all fingers and thumbs typing: āRosie mention! ! Hope she comes back!ā There was even a pleading post: āCanāt we have Rosie back please?ā And one superfan seemed convinced, declaring: āRosie mention! A return?ā
Whispers about Helenās possible return to the cobbles have been making rounds for a while now. An insider spilled to The Sun: āHelenās talking about plans to return ā not this year, but maybe late next year.ā
They added, āBosses have made it clear theyād welcome her back and she sees the soap cast as family. She misses them, and playing Rosie, a lot.ā In a juicy exclusive with Daily Star, the telly favourite confessed she would āloveā to make a comeback on the show.
