Rosie Webster

1. Emma Collinge (25 December 1990 - 27 December 1999)
2. Helen Flanagan (23 January 2000 - )

First appeared: 25 December 1990

Rosie was a docile child but after her parents, Kevin and Sally, divorced, she became angry and hard to handle for awhile, even running away when Sally had the children in Scarborough visiting Sally's mother. She went through a phase of bullying at school as well. As she got a bit older, not quite a teen, she decided she wanted to be a pop star so Sally enrolled her in a school to develop her singing and dancing abilities. Her initial debut wasn't too successful and it seemed like she might only now be in it because Sally wants her to be a success at it. Sally insisted that Rosie would enroll at the Northern Drama Academy but in the end, on the day of the audition, Rosie refused to go through with it and after a huge row with her mother, her show business career was at an end.

Soon her mother found a new quest. It seemed Rosie was very good at maths and Sally started a crusade to send her to the exclusive Oak Hill. Rosie was miserable at first but made friends eventually. Unfortunately, she discovered that her mother had an affair with the father of one of her new Oakhill friends and though she didn't say anything to her father, it increased the tension between the two.

She had a crush on David Platt when she was younger and also Craig Harris and later started dating Craig. They decided to become "Goths" and dyed their hair black and started listening to Goth music. They discussed whether they would have sex and Rosie even stole a condom she found in Sally's bag (not realizing at the time that Sally had it because of her affair) but in the end the two decided they weren't ready. Rosie figured out that her mother was having an affair with Ian Davenport, her boss but instead of telling her father, she held it over her mother's head.

After the death of Craig's father, Tommy, Rosie supported Craig but Craig was not really in a place where he could handle having a girlfriend. Rosie said the wrong thing and was summarily dumped.
