She has already had a lengthy break. She is clearly missed in this current storyline with Ed and his gambling addiction resurfacing with a vengeance.

OMG classic Corrie is up to 2004, Tracy is about to give birth to Amy and Hayley has just announced Tracy and Roy are married 
Ken: Tracy and Roy are married?!
Deirdre: She'd never marry Roy in a million years!
Blanche: Not unless she had about 10 shotguns to her head! She can't stand the man, he makes her skin crawl
It's astonishing how much better the quality of the show was back then compared to now in every aspect. Blanche was incredible

Ben Price is 10 years older than Nick, and it's pretty obvious! Nick is meant to be 43!

Nick is such a terrible character. He done it better in Footballers Wives

Yes I think so, I kinda remember that story and I really don't think anything like that would have happened

Yes, the Toyah plot is a total retcon and the fans are up in arms.
The rape storyline itself was criticised at the time (it was promoted as a "whodunnit"), so why they want to rake that up unnecessarily is odd for a start. However, in the aftermath, it was explicitly stated that Toyah had a sexual health screen and was given the morning-after pill. The character didn't leave until well over a year after the storyline, so to suggest any of what is being touted (SPOILERS) could have happened is far-fetched.
Whether the "average" viewer would know, I'm not so convinced. But it all just seems such a crass storyline to play out anyway. There's no point to any of it.

Yes it's really bizarre that they're harking back to what was ultimately a flop storyline at the time? I could understand if it were considered a GREATEST HIT, but it wasn't. And fancy thinking "Let's add a dead baby to it! That always goes down well in a soap!"

I found this, about how Corrie is proper shit right now, an interesting read earlier this week:

‘People are getting murdered in knicker factories!’: how Coronation Street lost the plot
Fans are outraged, ex-cast members think it’s drivel – even its current actors are fed up. How did the world’s longest running soap go from shaping the national conversation to thinking it’s a ropey crime drama?
