But soon after arriving in Weatherfield the girls found themselves being questioned about drug smuggling. Ooooh! Has Rosie got a secret?Well, while we wait to find out the answer to that one, viewers have been weighing in on whether they are happy or not to see Rosie after five years.And it seems the character is some sort of TV Marmite – you love her or you hate her.Some Corrie fans were THRILLED to see bubbly Rosie again.

But others were dismayed, labelling her “infuriating” and “annoying”.

Did Coronation Street really need to bring back the most annoying character in the history of the program, Rosie Webster? #Corrie

There have even been some rather unkind comments about Helen’s acting…
For gods sake send Rosie Webster aka @helenflanagan1 back to where ever or at least get her some acting lessons #Corrie

#Corrie Oh dear! I see Rosie didn't pick up any acting lessons while away. Cringeworthy performance. @itvcorrie
