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. 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's last scenes as Rosie Webster will be aired in February 2012.
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
Should spend more time putting clothes on instead of taking 'em off. Sorry dear when your on a 90 grand contract getting up at 5am gives you more time to think what to spend your money on, thermal underwear for starters, or have a word with the Knicker stitcher I'm sure she'll knock you up a special pair. That's if she don't get knocked up herself beforehand by Frankie .
You dont think of warm clothes when your that age, lol, and if she was filming she would have to wear what she was told, which is a short dress, and she does look really cold in it, brr, although I would do it for the money,
is Sian pregnant? in real life?
just looks 'different' in recent episodes?
BUSTY Corrie star Helen Flanagan is being inundated with underwear modelling offers — as she prepares to leave the Street.
The 21-year-old actress — Rosie Webster in the ITV1 soap — has told friends she is in the middle of a "bra war" with competing lingerie firms.
Ultimo offered her a deal last year, but soap bosses would not allow it.
Now Helen is leaving the show at Christmas.
A source said: "Soon she'll be free and can do whatever she wants. She's very excited."
Yes ,there is a Santa Claus , byyyye Wosie.
Why would anybody consider leaving an acting career to model lingerie, its true youth is wasted on the young, and I know a lot of people say she can't act, but they are paying her.

I wonder why

I think I've made a bit of boob before as I hadn't realised she had such big ones before.
Those eyes open really wide don't they?
There, I've made a clean breast of it.

The pair no doubt want to make a quick getaway following the crash but with a driver sitting in the car in front, there's little chance that they're going to get away with it - unless Rosie can use her manipulative charm to talk him round.
Actress Flanagan was spotted on set after they filmed the scenes and looked very glammed up as usual.

Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has revealed that she is looking forward to "total freedom" after she leaves the soap.
The actress films her final scenes as Rosie Webster this week following her decision to bow out from her role after 12 years.
Flanagan is now planning to set up home with her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair, who plays for Swansea City.
Speaking of her future, Flanagan told OK Extra: "I can't wait - it's going to be amazing. It will be so nice to just be a proper couple and do things together without having limited time.
"It's been tough. Sometimes I was working from 6am, finishing at 9pm and then driving down to Swansea to see him. I felt like I was two different types of Helen - relaxed and chilled when I was with Scott, and then crazy busy when I was back in Manchester and working. I can't wait to just do normal things together without the stress of travelling."
She continued: "I've got a few things in the pipeline, but I want to keep that back for myself at the moment. Most importantly I'm really looking forward to a new start and having total freedom to be myself."
Flanagan added that she will miss her Coronation Street co-stars once she has finished filming.
"I know it sounds cheesy, but we really are like family," she explained. "I'm incredibly close to Sally Dynevor and Brooke Vincent, my on-screen sister Sophie. But it's not like I won't see them because we'll always keep in touch.
"I'm really close to Ryan Thomas as well, who plays Jason Grimshaw. I've had some of the best times filming with him."
Rosie Webster's Coronation Street exit plotline will see her dump Jason Grimshaw in a bid for TV fame, a report has claimed.
The feisty brunette will bow out from Weatherfield in the New Year as Helen Flanagan, who plays her, has decided to leave the soap.
Rosie's final storyline will see her land a lucrative opportunity to star in a fly-on-the-wall television series in London, according to the Daily Star.
However, Rosie's big break comes with a price, as TV bosses want her to be single so that she can flirt with the show's male stars. She is then forced to break the news to Jason (Ryan Thomas).
Rosie apparently tells him: "I'm sorry Jason, but I don't want you to come with me. I can only go on TV if I'm single. And they've warned me if they find out I've got a boyfriend, they'll kick me off."
A heartbroken Jason hits back by saying: "I think you're disgusting. If you can just dump me after all we've been through together then I'm better off without you."
Rosie's parents Sally (Sally Dynevor) and Kevin (Michael Le Vell) are believed to back her career plans, but they remind her that she is always welcome back home if things go wrong - leaving the door open for the character's return.
Flanagan announced her decision to leave Coronation Street in October. She is filming her final scenes this week.
Sounds about right for our Rawsie
"Rosie's parents Sally (Sally Dynevor) and Kevin (Michael Le Vell) are believed to back her career plans, but they remind her that she is always welcome back home if things go wrong - leaving the door open for the character's return."
All I hope she makes a roaring success of getting her kit off ,and that way she won't be returning .
Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent has said that she is backing her screen sister Helen Flanagan's decision to leave the soap.
Flanagan finishes filming her role as Rosie Webster this week after 12 years on the cobbles. Her final scenes will air in early 2012.
Vincent, who plays Rosie's younger sibling Sophie, has now told New magazine that she respects Flanagan's choice to move on.
"Helen's most happy when she's with her boyfriend," the 19-year-old explained. "She's much more relaxed and so much happier in herself. So if that's where she's happiest, that's where she needs to be.
"A lot of people forget that when you work on a soap, you kind of sign your life away. You're not allowed to change your hair, you can't go on holiday when you want.
"Helen's a bit of a control freak and likes to have her freedom, so I think it will help her. She said to me, 'When I leave, I've got nothing to do. And it's going to be great!'"
Vincent also admitted that she always knew her on-screen girlfriend Sacha Parkinson did not want to stay on the cobbles forever. Parkinson's character Sian will also depart screens within the next few weeks.
She confirmed: "[Sacha] said ages ago, 'I'm only going to stay two years'. Then two years went by and she was like, 'I think I'm going to leave next December'.
"It's kind of like school - everyone has to go their own separate ways eventually. When Sacha leaves, I know she'll be happy doing what she's doing, the same for Helen. It'd be a different story if they were being written out, but it's their own decision."
Read the full story in this week's New magazine - out now.
Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has admitted that her exit from the soap hasn't sunk in yet.
The actress filmed her last scenes as Rosie Webster last month following a 12-year stint on the ITV1 show. She left to pursue other roles and spend time with her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair.
"I'm taking some time out before I decide what to do next and I can't wait to have a go at cooking up some nice dinners for Scott. But that doesn't mean I'm going to do his washing - he can do that himself," Flanagan told the Daily Star Sunday.
"It hasn't quite hit me that I've actually left Corrie - it feels a little like I'm on a break - but I'm sure it will when I watch my final scenes go out. I'm planning to do that at home with Scott. My last day on set I didn't cry but it was really, really emotional.
"Somehow I managed to hold it together. It was a very special day for me and one I will never forget. They presented me with a beautiful necklace, which is just stunning. It's something that I'll cherish forever."
Rosie departs from Weatherfield next month when she is offered the chance star in a dating show in London.
Flanagan added: "Everyone knows me for playing Rosie so it's going to take a little while for me to leave her behind. I am an actress and I love acting but I'm not going to jump into something straightaway, as that wouldn't be right.
"I know I made the right decision leaving as it means I can now grow as a person. And with the Websters being such a big part of the Street there's always the opportunity Rosie could return to cause more trouble.
"I'd never say never to going back but at the moment I want to concentrate on what other opportunities are out there for me as an actress."
Coronation Street bosses are said to be planning to offer Brooke Vincent (Sophie Webster) a "mega-bucks" deal to stop her leaving the soap.
Just me thinking she's either never going to work again or will be back in the Street within two years?
Not just you thinking this :hmm:Quote:

Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has revealed that she is eyeing a part in Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet.
The Rosie Webster actress, who announced her decision to quit last year, filmed her final scenes on the Weatherfield soap in December.
Teasing future roles, she told The Sun's TV Buzz: "The perfect role for me would be in Romeo and Juliet. The character Rosie can be quite bitchy at times, but Juliet is more like me.
"I'm a romantic person so I know I could play that part really well, and I'm quite good at Shakespeare because I studied him for my A-level in English Literature.
"It's a completely fresh start for me, I've been in Corrie for 12 years - it's all I've ever known. But now I'm living in Wales with my boyfriend [footballer Scott Sinclair], who I've been with for two years."
Flanagan, who suffered panic attacks in the autumn, went on: "I feel like I've got this new-found freedom. When I decided to leave Coronation Street, there was other personal stresses in my life.
"But a week later the panic attacks started. I've always been such a confident person, but I started getting feelings of anxiety and being geeky, I was too embarrassed to say anything.
"Gradually it got worse until it was full on for about a month. I was always comfortable at work, so for it to happen to me after 12 years wasn't very pleasant. Getting through it has made me such a strong person."
The star added: "Amazingly, I haven't had any panic attacks for the past two months. It was emotional, everyone came to say goodbye and I was given this CD full of pictures of me and Rosie since day one. But I love my exit storyline. I'm really pleased they didn't kill Rosie off and that the door has been left open."
Lordy lordy lordy The woman is delusional
I'm going to miss Rawsie because she is mad as a brush. She'll never be a Becky Granger or Elsie Tanner but she could make you laugh. Only time will tell if Helen can make it out in the big bad world or will she come back to Corrie. once thing the street will be a lot quieter without her.
Fridays episode made me laugh. Thought Rosie would have been too classy to do things in a van lol
