‘But in order to do Coronation Street, they would have to ask me to come back. “Plus, if I went back and stuff, I’d like to be in a good story and whatever.”
The actress was in the soap for more than two decades after being cast in the role of Rosie Webster at just ten years old.
In 2023, Helen told MailOnline she was looking forward to returning, saying: ‘Yes, totally. I mean, I’d love to go back to Coronation Street at some point.
‘I really, really, really would. But it’s just a matter of time, you know, it’s all about my kids.’
He added: “I really want Rosie to be a mother again.” I want to come back and cause some chaos.’
“I wanted to give Sally the cake with her grandson all the time and yes, I want him to come back.”
Helen’s biggest storyline was when she had a controversial affair with teacher John Stape, who was in a relationship with Fiz at the time.
Although Rosie was not one of John’s students, he crossed the line by dating the schoolgirl and it inevitably ended in tears and embarrassment.

The actress was in the soap for over two decades after being cast in the role of Rosie Webster aged just ten (pictured in the soap in 2000).
Helen shares three children, Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three, with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, whom she split from in 2022 after thirteen years together, four of which were engaged.
Their secret relationship came to light on Christmas Day in chaotic scenes that left Fiz devastated.
But his deal with John didn’t end there. The evil teacher couldn’t stand to see Rosie move on with her next partner, Saj, and kidnapped her in a fit of jealousy.
He kept her locked in the attic of his grandmother’s country house, but fortunately Fiz ended up finding her and the police were informed.
John was sentenced to two years in prison, but that didn’t stop him from meeting Fiz when he was released.
It comes after Helen looked every inch the doting mum as she posed with her two children at The Paddington Bear Experience at London County Hall on Sunday.
The former soap star, who shares Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three, with ex-fiance Scott Sinclair, looked festive as she enjoyed a family day out.
She lifted her youngest daughter on her hip while holding Delilah close to her side as they dressed in Paddington ear headbands.
For the outing, Helen looked festive in a ribbed red corduroy skater dress which she paired with black tights and black Adidas sneakers.
To accessorize, she kept it simple with a black chain bag and a simple gold necklace.
The multi-sensory interactive adventure features Christmas decorations in multiple themed rooms inspired by the Paddington stories.
