Coronation Street fans have been left surprised as they've been reminded of the age gap between the actresses behind iconic characters Audrey Roberts and Gail Platt. The mother and daughter, played by Sue Nicholls and Helen Worth, are currently at the forefront of the ITV soap.
Earlier this week fans watched as Audrey's drinking appeared to take a dark turn. The former salon owner has been staying with daughter Gail Patt and her family after having cataract surgery. But Gail and her daughter-in-law Shona Platt have been expressing concern over her drinking.
During Wednesday night's episode, Audrey was seen banging on the doors of the Rovers after Daisy Midgeley was a couple of minutes late opening and then Rita Tanner found her friend enjoying her first drink of the day. After she reminded her about her investment in the barbers, Trim Up North, Audrey decided to head back to work - despite having knocked back a few G&Ts.
