Show producers recently launched internet special Just Rosie, which follows Helen Flanagan's feisty character as she attempts to make it big in the modelling world.
New Media Age now reports that the Just Rosie website has had over 260,000 unique visitors since launch, while 203,351 people have watched the special online episodes and bonus clips. In total, the site has received 1.6m page views.
Just Rosie was also recently broadcast on ITV2 in response to the success of the internet airings.
Ben Freeman, ITV's head of soap and drama, commented: "We know that Corrie fans enjoy playful digital experiences around the characters they know and love, and this adventure with Rosie Webster is a great example of innovative cross platform commissioning at ITV."
Coronation Street bosses have launched a number of other successful online spinoffs in recent months, including tram crash bulletins to tie in with the 50th anniversary episodes, Gary's Army Diaries and Ken and Deirdre's Bedtime Stories.
Rosie will bow out from Coronation Street in February 2012 as Flanagan has decided to leave the soap.
I used to like Rosie. But they have changed her into a spoiled brat.
Her acting has gone bad, since she came back. This could be due to her panic attacks.
I do wish her luck for the future.
It's because they're given her too much serious stuff to deal with like her parents splitting up. Rosie is at her best when she is an air head glamour model and all she has to worry about are which skimpy outfits to wear. :D
CORONATION Street star Helen Flanagan says she quit the show because her character Rosie Webster is such a tart.
It had been reported that Helen chose to leave after suffering panic attacks when she returned from a recent three-month break.
But the star, 21, who has played Rosie since 2000, revealed her decision was made long before. She told Hello! magazine, out today: "I didn't enjoy playing her when she went through a promiscuous phase."
She added: "I'd always felt I would leave by the time I was 21, but when I made up my mind, it wasn't even as if I had a choice.
"I just knew instinctively. After 12 years playing Rosie, it is time to be myself." Helen, who dates Swansea footballer Scott Sinclair, said she loved her character apart from when she was sleeping around. Rosie's conquests include Craig Harris, John Stape, Tony Gordon, Gary Windass, Luke Strong and Jason Grimshaw.
And the rest of the above article from the Sun is:
Helen said of her recent break from the show: "One of the first things I did was cut my hair and dye it blonde. During my time away from the Street I felt free." Her last scenes will be aired in February.
She is then planning to live with Scott, 22, in Swansea. Helen said: "I knew he was 'the one'."
- Full interview in Hello! magazine, on sale now.
That is absolute nonsense, she is not actually being a tart, she is in a stable relationship with Jason, sounds like making excuses because the panic attacks don't sound good enough to leave regular employment :wall:
Helen Flanagan has given an interview to Hello! magazine in which she talks about the reasons why she's leaving Coronation Street.
She told the mag about playing Rosie: "I didn't enjoy playing her when she went through a promiscuous phase.

Coronation Street's Helen Flanagan was involved in a collision with another vehicle as she drove away from filming yesterday.
The actress, who plays Rosie Webster in the soap, reversed into the back of a Vauxhall Corsa driven by a cleaning company employee, reports the Daily Mail.
Flanagan had previously told her fans on Twitter that she was tired from filming the soap's wedding scenes for her character's sister Sophie Webster, having been up since 5am that morning.
Eyewitnesses reported that the cleaning employee's first comments after the collision were: "Rosie Webster's just crashed into me!"
Flanagan had previously written: "Too late I feel dreadful and I'm up at 5 to film I swear I've never been this cold in my life (sic)."
The star will be leaving Coronation Street in February, and will film her final scenes shortly
