The two soap stars, who play Donna Windsor-Dingle and Jasmine Thomas, have contracts until 2008 and are likely to sign on beyond that into 2009.
A show spokesperson said: "Verity and Jenna both have some exciting storylines planned for this year.
"If they do decide to take a break it would be with the intention of returning to the show and would give our scriptwriters and storylines some fantastic story opportunities surrounding Donna and Jasmine, plus the chance to bring in some exciting new characters in the interim."
Both actresses told former series producer Kathleen Beedles separately last year that they would like to take a break from the soap.
