Rosie Webster is a fictional character in the UK television ITV soap opera, Coronation Street. She was born on screen during the episode broadcast on 25 December 1990. She was played by Emma Collinge from 1990 until 27 December 1999. Helen Flanagan took over the role on 23 January 2000. Flanagan took a three-month break in the summer of 2011, and returned on 26 September 2011. The character departed the show on 10 February 2012, leaving to make a reality television show, but returned on 6 February 2017 for a short stint after agreeing to return in October 2016. On 9 February 2017, it was announced that Flanagan had extended her contract and Rosie would remain indefinitely. Rosie is the first born daughter to Kevin (Michael Le Vell) and Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) and older sister to Sophie Webster (Ashleigh Middleton, Emma Woodward, Brooke Vincent), and older half sister to Jack Webster and deceased Jake Webster. Rosie's storylines have included her rivalry with younger sister Sophie, being kidnapped by John Stape (Graeme Hawley) and her modeling ambitions.
Rosie was born in December 1990. Her mother, Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor), went into labour while at home alone, and gave birth in a taxi before she could make it to the hospital. At first, the Websters hired Martin Platt (Sean Wilson), a neighbour, to mind Rosie during the day so that Sally could return to work. This caused conflict between Sally and Martin's mother-in-law, Ivy. However, Sally soon gave up work in order to look after Rosie full-time. Rosie had few storylines until the breakdown of her parents' marriage following her father Kevin's affair with Natalie Horrocks (Denise Welch). She then went through a bullying phase at school. Because of this and other difficulties, Sally decided to enroll her daughter at the more prestigious and academically rigorous Oakhill Grammar School. However, in order to afford the private school's fees, Sally took a job as a PA for Ian Davenport (Philip Bretherton), the father of one of Rosie's friends. Before long, Ian and Sally began an affair. Rosie discovered it, and disgusted, both distanced herself from her mother and tried to blackmail her over the affair.
