Helen Flanagan Eyes Return to Coronation Street After Reality TV Stint

Helen Flanagan, best known for her role as Rosie Webster on Coronation Street, is reportedly eager to return to the iconic soap after stepping away from reality TV. The 34-year-old actress first appeared on the cobbles in 2000 and became a fan favorite during her initial 12-year run. After a brief return in 2017, she left again in 2018 but has since expressed a desire to reprise her role.

According to The Sun, Flanagan has grown tired of reality TV and is seeking a "regular job" in acting. A source revealed, "She recently discussed a comeback with producers, but her character doesn’t fit current storylines." Flanagan herself confirmed her enthusiasm, telling The Mirror, "I’d love to return to Coronation Street."

The mother of three—Matilda, 9, Delilah, 6, and Charlie, 3—highlighted the practicality of filming near her home in Bolton. She even pitched a potential storyline: "A single mom who leaves her kids with [her on-screen mother] Sally while she reignites her career at the Rovers Return."

Flanagan shared a throwback photo with Corrie legend Barbara Knox, sparking speculation of a return.

Fans were teased earlier this year when Flanagan posted a nostalgic photo with co-star Barbara Knox (Rita Sullivan), captioning it, "I was Matilda’s age here. I miss the excitement of the show." Reflecting on her time on the soap, she added, "It shaped me. I’ll always miss that thrill."

Flanagan first left Coronation Street in 2012 to explore other opportunities, including reality TV. Her character’s dramatic 2018 exit involved a plotline with a drug-smuggling ex. Since then, she’s focused on family life and a new relationship with boyfriend Robbie Talbot, which she revealed during her stint on Celebs Go Dating.

While her return isn’t confirmed, Flanagan’s passion for the show and proximity to the set keep hopes alive. As she balances motherhood and her career, Corrie fans eagerly await Rosie Webster’s potential comeback.
