Helen is the second longest-running star on the show and about to mark her 50th anniversary on the cobbles. Keen to keep her in Weatherfield for the foreseeable future, ITV bosses have put together a big deal to secure her for at least one more year – and she’s naturally accepted.
Helen started on the show back in 1974 and her contributions to the soap earned her an MBE in the Queen's Honours last year.
