Excitement mounts among Coronation Street fans as Helen Flanagan,

renowned for her portrayal of Rosie Webster, hints at a potential return to the beloved ITV soap.

The 33-year-old actress recently ignited speculation by sharing a series of nostalgic photos

from her time as Rosie Webster on Instagram. Captioned “Some iconic Rosie moments,” the posts prompted enthusiastic responses from co-stars, with Sally Dynever, who plays her on-screen mother, expressing her fondness with a heartfelt “Love this,” and Jack P Shepherd, known for his role as David Platt, adding fuel to the rumors with his comment, “She shall be back.”

Having originally taken on the role of Rosie Webster in 2000, Flanagan became a central figure as the eldest daughter of Sally and Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell), and sister to Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent). After departing in 2012, Flanagan briefly returned in 2017 before taking a hiatus due to maternity leave the following year, since when she hasn’t reprised her role.

Fans have eagerly awaited a potential comeback for both Flanagan and Vincent, who portrays Sophie Webster and went on maternity leave herself in 2019. The prospect of Rosie’s return naturally raises hopes for Sophie’s return as well, prompting impassioned pleas from viewers for the Coronation Street writers to bring back the beloved characters.
