Coronation Street fans have been worried about Audrey Roberts for some months as she turned to drinking to deal with her fears of growing older. And a reason for their concern was soon given as the street legend, played by Sue Nicholls, revealed to her friends that she tried to take her own life in emotional scenes.
Audrey's battle with her mental health coincided with son Stephen Reid's return to the cobbles. But since his arrival in Weatherfield back in June, Corrie f ans have been suspicious of his motives.
While the reason for his return to the cobbles has been unknown to viewers of the ITV soap, they have come to conclude that Stephen, played by Todd Boyce, must be short of money, having even been seen using his wife's credit card, and are sure he's after his mum's inheritance. This became more evident when he lost it with a set of wheelie bins after finding out his mum was no longer organising trust funds and that he wouldn't be a part of his will.
