The Case for Helen Flanagan's Return

This article from The Sun explores the reasons behind Coronation Street's decision to not bring back Helen Flanagan as Rosie Webster. The author contends that the show's reasoning—that her character doesn't fit current storylines—is a weak excuse.

Three Key Arguments

  • Family Storylines: Rosie's father, Kevin, is battling cancer, and her aunt, Debbie, has dementia. The author argues that Rosie's presence would be crucial in these significant plots.
  • Wedding Plot: Debbie's upcoming wedding provides another missed opportunity to incorporate Rosie.
  • Off-Screen Antics: The article speculates that Helen's off-screen activities, including a driving ban and financial difficulties, might have influenced the decision. However, the author suggests this could also be an asset, providing sex appeal and storylines to the show.

The author also highlights that Coronation Street has recently experienced a significant cast exodus, making Flanagan's return even more desirable. The piece concludes that the show's decision not to re-hire Flanagan seems unreasonable.
