In 2004 she played alongside Caroline Quentine in Comedy Drama Von Trapped after which Binns joined the cast of Coronation Street playing Molly Dobbs. In May 2010 Binns announced that she would be leaving Coronation Street Binns said "'It’s been a joy to be involved in such a fantastic storyline and it is only right that it has the explosive ending viewers are waiting for. I am very excited about playing out the rest of this plot and indeed about what the future holds. I've had an amazing time in the show and feel it's right to leave on such a high."

On 9 December 2010, at the climax of a live episode of Coronation Street, her character Molly dies from injuries sustained in the tram crash to mark the show's 50th anniversary. Comforted by her ex-lover's wife Sally Webster (played by actress Sally Dynevor)
