There was horror on the Coronation Street cobbles as Audrey Roberts became trapped under a motorbike after her drinking spiralled out of control. Audrey, played by Sue Nicholls, has been staying with daughter Gail and her family after having cataract surgery.
It has become increasingly clear that Audrey has a drink problem after she has been reaching for the bottle at all opportunities and refusing to listen to the concerns of her nearest and dearest. Audrey has been known to enjoy a tipple or two in the Rovers but the hair stylist hit rock bottom in Wednesday night's episode (June 22).
Rita Tanner found her friend enjoying her first drink of the day in the Rovers Return and, pointing out that she owns the barber shop Trim Up North where her grandson David works, she suggested it was time Audrey went back to work. David despaired as in the salon his gran cracked open the wine and flirted with Ryan Connor who was in for a cut.
