The money comes from the sale of his house.
So Tony, Luke and Rosie will all own Underworld - great team :rolleyes:
I wish Rosie would take a permanent holiday fast
CORRIE minx Rosie Webster is to get into men's underwear - by designing sexy boxer shorts.
She buys up shares in knicker factory Underworld with compensation money from kidnapper John Stape.
And the 18-year-old secretary draws up some daring designs.
She forces new business partners Luke Strong (Craig Kelly) and Tony Gordon (Gray O'Brien) to take her raunchy plans seriously.
She tells the pair: "My ideas look absolutely amazing in my head. I know it will work.
All I need to do is get the underpants down on paper and we'll all be rich."
Murderer Tony is furious at Rosie's attitude and insists she's getting ideas above her station.
Luke winds him up even more by feeding Rosie's ego.
He promises to make samples of her designs and send them to the factory's biggest clients so they can give feedback.
Rosie is thrilled and screams excitedly: "Watch out Calvin Klein - here I come!"
Insiders on the ITV1 soap say the cheery storyline will be a change for Rosie actress Helen Flanagan - after her character was kidnapped by former teacher John.
He tries to make up for the crime while in prison by selling his grandmother's home, where he imprisoned Rosie, and giving the teen the cash.
A Corrie insider said: "Helen's had some harrowing storylines so it's nice for her to do something a little lighter.
"Rosie went through hell when she was kidnapped. But she has bounced back and, as long as she's got some money in her pocket, she feels able to start again.
"She's determined to make it big - and men's underpants are something she knows a lot about!"
Coronation Street's teen temptress Rosie Webster - played by 19-year-old Helen Flanagan - has a huge influx of cash coming her way in the next few weeks to the tune of £150,000, which serves to turn the head of Underworld co-owner Luke Strong (Craig Kelly). When John Stape (Graeme Hawley) - the man who kidnapped her at the end of last year - hands over the sale proceeds from the house in which he kept her locked away for seven weeks, Luke takes a keen interest in the wannabe WAG purely in the hope of securing additional investment in the factory. With a wedge of cash in-hand and a good looking businessman requiring a fund injection of his own, what will Rosie do with her new-found wealth? We gave Helen a call to find out more.
Rosie has her eye on yet another boss of her's - what is it with Rosie and bosses?
"I think she's attracted to the power and money. Rosie's knows that she can use her womanly wiles to get what she wants. In the long run, she wants a life away from Weatherfield. She wants to be rich when she's older and aspires to be like Carla - gorgeous, sexy and wearing designer clothes.
"Thinking about it, Rosie's actually tried it on with all of her bosses! They've all knocked her back apart from Luke and now she's thinking: 'I've finally got one!'"
What is it about Luke?
"There is this chemistry between them. Luke's charming, though, and obviously very attractive. He's got this cheeky side, too."
Is Rosie driven by money?
"It's not wholly about the money. She's more driven by glamour and power. She definitely gets it off her mum! You should hear Sally when Rosie gets the £150,000 from John Stape. Sally's wanting Rosie to spend the money on a hot tub in the garden! Ideas always above her station!"
So Rosie gets a visiting order from John…
"Yeah, what happens is that John writes Rosie a letter from prison. He's riddled with guilt after kidnapping her at the end of last year and he's trying to make it right. He has the £150,000 inheritance from the sale of his grandma's house, so he decides to give all the money to Rosie to clear his conscience. Rosie doesn't know about the money when she gets the letter, but she's intrigued about why he wants to see her. She goes to the prison and she's shocked by his offer, but she sees it as compensation!"
What does she do with the money?
"She just flaunts it around to annoy everyone and splurges it on champagne, big shopping trips, a £3,000 handbag and a flash new sports car which she calls her 'new baby'!"
Does the money turn Luke's head?
"Yeah, there was an attraction before the money and Rosie's cottoned onto it. She's not stupid, though, and sees that there's more of an attraction there now she has some money to her name - she even says it to him - but Rosie's playing Luke at his own game. She knows that once she's invested in Underworld, she can saunter in the next day knowing that she's sleeping with the boss, she wadded with cash and she's going to become one of the bosses, too! She's on a cloud!"
Rosie's into older men, but do you not wish that they'd bring in a younger guy for her?
"I love working with the younger cast, but it's also nice working with the older cast, too. You become good friends and they teach you so much [because they're so experienced]. I did have a scene with Lucien [Laviscount] who plays the gorgeous Ben and they were at this BBQ and Rosie decided to flirt outrageously with him. That was really fun to play, but I think I scared the poor boy to death!"
Sally Whittaker and Michael Le Vell are your second parents now – what's it like working with them?
"It's really lovely. It's a great little family unit. Me and Brooke [Vincent] are actually like sisters. We make each other laugh so much. The atmosphere's great between us and our favourite scenes to do are in the Websters' - we can just play around with the material because we all know each other so well.
Are you looking forward to Alison King's return?
"I can't wait for Ali to come back! I really get on so well with her, she's so lovely. When Carla returns to the Street, I think she'll be putting Rosie back in her place and have her back on tea duty!"
Rosie on Kevin's affair and Tony's downfall
Coronation Street's Rosie Webster's (Helen Flanagan) bank balance increases by a fair few grand in a couple of weeks' time when John Stape (Graeme Hawley) has an attack of the guilties and decides to hand over his £150,000 inheritance from the sale of his grandma's house.
With a stash of cash in hand, Rosie flaunts her new wealth around the Street, enjoying champagne in the Rovers, a shopping trip to buy a £3k handbag and a flashy new sports car. All her mum Sally (Sally Whittaker) wants, however, is a hot tub in the garden. Classic Mrs Webster.
Add into that the extra attention she begins to receive from Underworld boss Luke Strong (Craig Kelly) and it looks like Rosie's onto a winner...
Last week, I managed to catch up with Helen during a break filming at Corrie. Click here to read the main part of the interview. Read on, however, for some bonus helpings of storyline goodness.
What was your reaction to the Molly and Kevin affair storyline when you first heard about it?
"I think it'll be brilliant. I was filming a scene the other day when Rosie nearly walked in on them together and I couldn't watch it! I actually felt like my dad was having an affair right in front of my eyes!"
What do you think Rosie would say?
"Rosie can be a bit of a bitch, but she does have a heart and I think she'll be devastated. That'd really upset her and even though she thinks her mum's a pain in the backside, she loves her mum and dad. It'd be a big wake-up call for Rosie and would probably make her more mature."
Would you like Rosie to be involved in Tony Gordon's downfall?
"It'd be lovely to be, but it's such a big storyline. It'll be interesting to see how it all unravels. It's going to be huge. I don't think Rosie's ever forgiven Tony for that time when she dressed up for him in that skimpy underwear in the hotel, though!"
Is there anybody that you've not had a scene with that you'd love to work with?
"My favourites on the Street are Malcolm Hebden who plays Norris and Maggie Jones who plays Blanche. They are legends. I've had a few scenes with Norris and Blanche's one-liners are hilarious. When I'm watching at home, they make me laugh so much.
"I've heard that I have a few scenes coming up with Kym Marsh, who I get on really well with, so I'm looking forward to that. Everything she does is really natural. We're 'love rivals' on-screen, too…But really there's no competition is there?! I'm not much of a rival! Luke'll just choose Kym anyway!"
Oh God i hate Rosie
I can't believe all of this is going to happen. I would like Rosie to be involved in Tony's downfall but I heard that Luke attempts to take advantage of her new found wealth.....
Helen Flanagan is set to thrill her fans with a raunchy strip on Corrie’s famous cobbles.
The gorgeous 18-year-old won an army of admirers when she appeared in the soap wearing a saucy corset.
Now bosses want the babe to do it again – and this time they are making the scenes even sexier.
Helen, who plays feisty Rosie Webster, will strip down to sexy Agent Provocateur undies, including stockings and suspenders, in a saucy story*line to be screened next month.
The heat is on when she spots her ex Luke Strong (Craig Kelly, 38) getting intimate with Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh, 33) on the balcony of his flat.
She rushes home and puts on high heels and her most revealing lingerie, concealing it all under a coat. As Luke and Michelle continue to snog on the balcony, Rosie confronts the pair.
And after trading insults with Michelle she whips off her coat to reveal her curves and asks: “Is your temperature rising, Luke?”
Michelle tells her: “Put it away, Rosie, and try to have some dignity.”
But the raunchy babe knows her strip show has had the effect she wanted and walks off, sexily dragging her coat behind her.
Oh Rosie :(
So cheap and tacky!
Coronation Street's Rosie Webster is set to strip off as she attempts to become Weatherfield's answer to Jordan.
The teenager dresses in provocative underwear to pose for a portfolio of sexy photographs and later wears a skimpy outfit as she starts work as a vodka promotions girl.
The storyline comes just weeks after the character stripped off in scenes which were deemed too raunchy to be shown before the watershed in the ITV1 soap.
The new plot causes a headache for Rosie's parents Sally and Kevin, who are horrified when their neighbours get a glimpse of the snaps.
Helen Flanagan, who plays Rosie, says she is thrilled with the latest episodes: "This is the perfect career for Rosie, she is like so many girls out there who read the celeb mags every week and want to be like Katie Price or celebs from shows like Big Brother.
"But yet again it does all go wrong for her as she is exploited by the photographer, but even that doesn’t seem to put her off. She sees it as a way to make money quick without having to do much hard work!"
oh no!
why couldnt Tony have killed her off instead
This could be so funny as Rosie likes to believe or think she is what all men desire!
So is Sophie Webster really pregnant this time? i thought the pregnancy test was found in the bin last year when she was crying out for attention!
Is she supposed to be pregnant? She made a vow of chastity until marriage, so unlikely she would have slept with anyone. She has just split with Ben because he made a pass at Ryan's mum
Anyway, this thread is about Rosie Webster, not Sophie
what made me laugh about Rosie last night was when she freaked out when Graham saw her photos and started perving over her, what does she expect being a glamour model involves?!
Graeme is supposed to get an unexpected love interest ... maybe him and Rosie get together :eek:
that would be unexpected lol
Would Rosie ever go for Graham?
I wpuld of said no but Rosie did sleep with John Stape and he was hardly her type!
I think Rosie slept with John Stape because she enjoyed having power over an older man, rather than that she fancied him.Quote:

RACY Rosie Webster hits the roof on Monday night’s show after being conned by a dodgy glamour photographer.
The wannabe Jordan (Helen Flanagan, 19) is horrified when a photo is altered to appear as if a man is grabbing her boobs. To make matters worse, the snap is used in an advert for a drain company.
Daily Star
Will she ever learn.
a drain company? LOL
Drains?
What has this got to do with drains?
I expect the advert is for a drain company rather than lingerie, which is what silly Rosie would have believed
What another boring story line.
Nope shes not capable, she goes from one dull annoying thig to anotherQuote:

The glam girl’s latest move is posing for pictures plugging peanuts.
And the ad campaign she signs up for features her posing in a bikini for photos hidden behind packets of nuts on sale in pubs – including the Rovers.
As punters buy the nuts more of Rosie is revealed, with Eddie Windass and Lloyd Mullaney leading the charge to chomp their way to an ogle. But Kev is furious when he finds out what’s happening and storms into the Rovers to give the pair what for.
And when Eddie retaliates by making a sleazy comment about Rosie, Kevin completely loses it. He grabs him by the scruff of his neck and threatens to knock his lights out.
Lloyd tries to calm him down but ends up making the situation even worse. A Coronation Street insider said: “Rosie decides to go ahead with her boob job despite finding out about mum Sally’s breast cancer."
“She desperate to raise the money she needs for the operation and takes on all the modelling work she can get."
“She’s more than happy to show off her curves and has absolutely no problem stripping off. But poor Kevin can’t handle it, especially when the likes of Eddie and Lloyd are leering over his daughter. She’ll always be his little girl and although he can’t stop her pursuing her dream of becoming a glamour model he can sure as hell make certain all the locals know how he feels about it."
“Kevin’s under a lot of pressure at the moment what with his wife Sally having been diagnosed with cancer. And there’s the small matter of his affair with his best mate’s wife Molly Dobbs. It’s not a good time for Kevin and anyone who crosses him does so at their own risk.”
Fans of the ITV1 soap will be able to watch the drama as Kevin loses his temper with Eddie a week tomorrow.

CORRIE sex kitten Rosie Webster is caught out next month when she agrees to a new job without realising she has to go topless.
The Weatherfield babe is still pursuing her career as a promotions girl.
And she is thrilled when she lands another lucrative contract.
But Rosie – played by gorgeous actress Helen Flanagan, 20 – is left stunned when she arrives at the photoshoot and the snapper expects her to get her boobs out.
A show insider laughs: “As you can imagine it doesn’t go down too well and she storms off in a right huff.
“She tells her boyfriend Jason about her ‘ordeal’ and he says he would back her if she wanted to launch herself as a glamour model because she’s got a great pair.
“But that doesn’t go down too well with Rosie either.”
She lets rip at her agent for putting her up for such an X-rated role. But Rosie is in for an even bigger shock later next month.
We can reveal that her sleazy agent turns out to be her mum Sally’s new fella.
Jeff (Steven Houghton, 39) meets Sally (Sally Dynevor, 47) in the Rovers and the pair start dating.
But their future is put on the line when newly-single Sally finds out that he has been moonlighting under a different name. :eek:
Daily Star
I have to say that given what we've seen of Rosie so far, I would have thought she wouldn't be averse to going topless. In fact it actually seems out of character that she would object.
Very trueQuote:

Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan will take a three-month break from the soap later this year, it has been revealed.
The actress, who plays Rosie Webster on the ITV1 show, is to take time out from her Weatherfield role in the summer because she wants to spend more time with her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair, the News of the World reports.
Flanagan is said to have asked her Corrie bosses for time off to coincide with the end of the football season, when Swansea City player Sinclair will be free.
A source told the newspaper: "At the moment she and Scott spend hours on the phone. They meet when they can but this will test if they can be a full-time couple.
"Helen can't wait. She wants to be with him all the time. The only problem will be when they go back to their normal lives, hundreds of miles apart."
Speaking of the impact on Corrie, the insider added: "The writers have done some clever, funny writing to explain her absence."
Flanagan started dating Sinclair in late 2009.
