View Full Version : Audrey Roberts
Audrey quits the salon
Corrie's Audrey Roberts is selling her hair salon after seven years. But don't fret - actress Sue Nicholls, who plays the soap crimper, will not be leaving the show. A soap mole revealed: "People started to ask questions when they read the scripts, but were quickly assured the storyline had nothing to do with Sue's character being written out. She's so popular with the viewers that they have to keep her."
Audrey decides to sell up after seeing old friend Mike Baldwin begin to lose his mind under the strain of running his clothing business for too long (or is he just struggling under the weight of that quiff?). Her devastated granddaughter Sarah fears for her job when Audrey says she'll sell to the highest bidder. And Maria, who served her apprenticeship under Audrey, soon becomes frontrunner after telling brother Kirk to buy her half of the family kennel business so she can use it as a deposit.

Coronation Street legend Sue Nicholls rightly returns to the fore of the ITV soap over the coming weeks and months as her screen daughter is imprisoned on suspicion of murder, before taking her character Audrey's relationship with Lewis to the next level. Concerned that Gail's withholding information about Joe's death, Audrey visits Gail in prison with David but rather than allay her fears of a long stretch behind bars, she inadvertently gives the impression that she believes she's guilty. Here, we chat to Sue about Audrey's involvement in Gail's story and her three decades on the show.
You've been with Corrie for nearly 30 years now - can you believe you're still there?
"No I can't! It's jolly nice, too - it's the best job to have, especially in this day and age when there are no jobs anyway. Everybody wants to be in it so it must have something going for it! I've been so lucky and if I think back over the years all the people have been lovely and the stories have been hot. Being with Amanda Barrie was lovely, and of course Brian Mosley who sadly died - and it's thanks to Brian or whoever - if they hadn't married Audrey off to Alf, who knows I might just have been another tart with a heart passing through."
And Audrey doesn't even live on the Street...
"I'm Grassmere Drive, love! A lovely big detached and there's plenty of room - there's always a bed for you there, Kris! I love having the salon and of course I have the family there but I do love my salon. I know I only have about two old age pensioners a week - how I pay the rates I don't know - but I love that because I love the girls that work there and Jack (David Platt) of course. And I have my family - or I had the family - down the road in the Street so it's lucky for me - I've got lots of storylines going."
Does Audrey believe that Gail's innocent in Joe's death?
"Yes she does. She doesn't believe in any way that she killed him but what she does feel is that the whole story hasn't come out. The death happened in some way that Gail knows about. There's a bit of the story that hasn't been told and she feels Gail knows but isn't saying. That's where the confrontation in the waiting room stems from. Never, even when I was doing the scene, did I think she was saying, 'Did you kill him?' I think she said, 'There's something wrong - there's a jigsaw piece missing'. I think what she was implying was, 'Did he hit you? Did he attack you and fall over and hit his head?' which is vaguely what happened, but of course Gail thinks she's saying, 'You killed him!' - she wasn't at all but it does come out like that. My big mouth again! [After that] I'm banished from the prison and off I go. Then other things overcome it in the story and I think it happens with Lewis and Nick. I'm sad because it wasn't what I meant at all and I can't go back. David is right off me and blames me for upsetting his mother."
How does David react to Audrey's suspicions? At the first sign of weakness he attacks...
"Yes, he does. To be honest I can't remember. I know that he blames me and I think Nick as well. There's a bit of a to-do there. It did upset Audrey and David, suddenly his mother's little helper here and almost grown up in many respects. He goes right against his gran which doesn't help matters because she does care from him. She was the only one to understand him in the past and has given him second chances. The only time I would have hit my daughter was when she always gave in to David and said he couldn't help it - of course he could help it! But that's a good story, isn't it?"
Are you surprised at his reaction, considering Audrey's almost always stood by him?
"Yes, that's certainly not the David we know. He came in and said, 'What have you done to mother?' In the story we don't know how much David was involved. We didn't know they'd both got this story going until it's all come out. That's why it's all a bit dubious in Audrey's head because up until when Gail blurted out to the police that she was on the boat, Audrey and Nick didn't know that. They'd been given the story that he's gone off to do work somewhere. That's why they now doubt it - the story, to begin with, was total fabrication so what's the real story? They're within their rights to try and get to the bottom of it. He banished me from the family but it all works out in the end!"
You and Jack work so well together...
"I do love him - he's a splendid actor and I do love having scenes with him. I hope he does with me. We do laugh a lot despite everything. I'm always saying, 'Oh, David!' a bit like Posh Spice! I like the relationship we have. I have met people who have a better relationship with grandparents, in a funny way. I know that sounds a bit strange but sometimes people who are difficult have more of a contact with another generation. David and Gail have never really connected until now."
What was your reaction when you found out David was going to start supporting his mother?
"Well, I'm still a bit stunned both as Audrey and as Sue Nicholls. It's a good swap-around. Nobody would have thought of it. I'm surprised both as a viewer and his grandma."
Corrie's Audrey on Gail and the Street's men
Last week, I managed to catch up with one of my all-time favourite Coronation Street stars Sue Nicholls - and what a lovely lady she is.
On first hearing, you wouldn't think you were talking to Audrey Roberts from that there Coronation Street but her humorous and at-times flirty character soon begins to shine.
If you haven't read the first part of my interview, then have a butchers at this page here. Otherwise, read on for more about Audrey's to-the-point character, her men over the years and why Gail's been so unlucky in love.
How do you think Audrey gets away with being so straight-talking?
"I don't know, I never think of it like that. I think she just says it but she's saying it for their own good - like to Gail, 'The man's a waster' - of course she's been proved right as always! She does get away with a lot but it's just because it's her family. Do you know, I think I'm probably more outspoken now I'm the age I am than I was. I'm very grateful to the scriptwriters for giving me wonderful stuff and the stories that I've been part of - I don't know who thinks up the stories - but they've come up with some humdingers, haven't they?! Maybe I should hush my mouth a bit!
"I think she's doing it as a protection - I think back to my mother and she wasn't as bad as Audrey but she said what she felt but she was doing it so I didn't make a mess of my life."
Why do you think Gail's been so unlucky with men?
"Just a bad picker, love! I think with Gail she loses her heart easily and hasn't got to know the men very well. The minute they want to move in and drag her off the bed, that's enough for Gail! You think, 'Oh dear, perhaps you should try it out for a bit first', but no. Audrey in the early days, when she first came in she was a terrible flighty beast and laid her head with whoever bought her a G&T! I can hardly believe it but she did. She calmed down with Alf and that was lovely - a new side of her - but underneath she always had that.
"I remember a storyline where she thought the mayoral chauffeur fancied her - that was brought back to my mind recently when I had it in a speech to Lewis - 'Of course, the chauffeur was mad about me!' What a conceit but it did make me laugh, he really loved me, that chauffeur. Now I've got Lewis I don't know where to turn!"
Why does Gail never listen to Audrey?
"I think she thinks in many respects that the relationship is about turned. Sometimes Audrey's still a bit like the child and Gail is more sensible. Audrey's calmed down in later years which I like and really cares about the family like a lot of people do - mainly because she was the worst mother out and left all her children to raise themselves. She doesn't realise she's doing that, though. Gail obviously must have taken after the dad, Ted. I don't think she's got Audrey's genes. She's more sensible, isn't she? Mind you, I know what's coming up with Audrey and Lewis.
"Gail's always looking for true love and romance on the horizon, it's not wham-bam-thank-you like Audrey did and probably would still do given half the chance!"
Gail's so mild mannered...
"Gail can come out with it when she wants to but she doesn't find it easy. The only good thing about Audrey is she tells David where to get off and I like that."
Coronation Street salon owner Audrey Roberts - played by the estimable Sue Nicholls - finally finds love again in the form of Lewis Archer (Nigel Havers), despite the fact she knows he's an escort. As Audrey prepares to confide her true feelings towards him, she soon discovers his little black book containing information about all his clients. Downbeat to realise that she's just another punter, Audrey tries to give him the cold shoulder. However, when he, too, admits that he's developed feelings for her, Audrey's taken aback when he kisses her. It takes a little while longer for Audrey to accept his claims but the pair quickly become an item and begin getting to know each other a little better. Here, we chat to Sue about Nigel Havers, Audrey's love life and whether she thinks could ever marry again on screen.
What's it like working with Nigel Havers?
"Fabulous! We laugh a lot - I just seem to spend my time laughing! I'm like some terrible hyena! He's delightful. I hope it works on screen. We've done some super scenes and I hope they come over as well as we want them to. He is great fun, he knows what he's doing and he's lovely and helpful and makes me laugh. I hug and I kiss him and that's just off screen! All the ladies love him and I'll walk down the street to Sainsbury's and they'll all say 'You lucky thing!'
"He's charming and he knows what he's doing and he loves it, so he says. Well, he wouldn't say anything else would he?! He's been stuck with me, poor sod, for all the weeks he was first in but he's branched out now. He's been in The Rovers and worked with Rita so he has had a little it more fun!"
And what about Rula Lenska?
"Oh yes, she was charming - hopefully her character Claudia will be in again. I think she's the stronger one [out of Audrey and Claudia] really and it's nice to have her. Audrey isn't quite as mouthy when Claudia's around! She treats Lewis as an appendage to go out with but I think Audrey's a little more fond of him than she should be."
Do you think Audrey's ready for love again?
"She'd better be because it's coming her way! She's narked by everybody saying 'He's just an escort' but she does become very clingy. It's a side of Audrey you haven't really seen. She suddenly realises - and pretends she doesn't! - that she has the hots for him."
Did you enjoy slapping Barbara Knox's character Rita?
"That's going to be on my CV darling! Nobody slaps Rita - I'll be hated! She was wonderful, though. We had someone to tell us how to do it so you don't burst someone's eardrum, so it was quite fun."
Does Rita's involvement in the story strengthen their friendship?
"It will eventually. It strengthens their friendship then it goes off at a tangent again. I think it's bound to work out alright in the end. I don't know how this is going to end but it won't be anything but tears, I should think."
What does Audrey discover in the Salon next week?
"The little black book, yes. It brings it home to her that she's just one of many and that actually Rita's been very right. It's a diary in which he writes down all the details of his clients to keep him organised - whether they've got kids or dogs or cats or ex-husbands so he can have his conversation right. Then it comes to Audrey and apart from my family and my shoe size, it says 'average tipper'. Average tipper? How hurtful is that?! It's awful - I broke down there and then!
"Lewis turns up for this blessed black book and I give it to him all lemon-lipped and he says 'What's the matter' and I say 'No, no just take the book Lewis, I've realised now, I'm just one of many'. Then he gets all charm personified and that's it - she's swept away again. It's wonderful - it's Mills & Boon!"
They have a heart-to-heart, don't they?
"Yes, it's lovely. He wins her round and says 'No, I like you, I'd miss you' - all the things I love people saying! I have to go home and get my husband to practice! Then when Audrey's all emotional, he's gives her a kiss. It makes me cry to think of it because it's quite a sad scene, so that was wonderful! There's a lovely scene afterwards where Audrey's looking through this bloody black book and making fun of everybody. From then on, it's heaven.
"He turns up at the house and stays over but Audrey's got nothing in for breakfast! That made me laugh because in the scene, there's Audrey being all little girl and coy - which I don't find easy to do - and Lewis comes in. I say 'Do you want tea or coffee?' and he says 'Is it real coffee?'. Audrey says 'Oh no - instant', so that's mistake numero uno and then she follows that by saying 'I haven't got anything in for breakfast' - this woman's not really prepared is she! She's got nothing in! No coffee, nothing in for breakfast - that's terrible! Not the beginning of a wonderful friendship is it?!"
Do you think Audrey will ever be able to come to terms with Lewis's job?
"I doubt it - I think she's going to try but I think something will happen when he's rubbing her nose in it too much. I don't want to know though, because I'm enjoying it too much. Actually, I would like to know because I've become terribly possessive of him on screen and off - I don't want him working with anyone else! I'm terribly bossy like Audrey."
Would Audrey ever marry again?
"I don't know - I don't think he's the marrying kind anyway but he's wonderful for a good time. I don't think she'd marry, no - she's just a bit bowled over by him at the minute. That's always a fatal time isn't it. If I can remember that far back, everything's rosy and everything's lovely and you don't think further than that. It'll go pear-shaped, it's bound to. There'll be more tears."
Can we please have more scenes with Audrey drunk?
"Of course, that's no problem for me love!"
Are you looking forward to the 50th anniversary?
"Yes! I'm not sure what's happening but it's all so exciting. We're doing all kinds of things now aren't we? I don't know that there's time to really celebrate, but we will! Isn't it wonderful that it's fifty?!"
I'm really enjoying this storyline.
TERRIFIED salon boss Audrey Roberts fears she will be sent down for murder after one of her customers dies while sitting in her hairdressing chair.
The busy beauty parlour is brought to a standstill when pensioner Enid is found dead. Audrey (Sue Nicholls, 67, above) puts the tragedy down to a faulty hairdryer.
Just before keeling over Enid is seen tucking into her favourite bourbon biscuits and praising David Platt (Jack P Shepherd, 23).
She says: “Isn’t David wonderful at washing hair? I’d never let anyone else wash my hair since he did it.”
Minutes later, Emily Bishop (Eileen Derbyshire, 79) asks her: “Please may I have one of those biscuits?” But to Emily’s horror, Enid is dead.
An ambulance arrives but paramedics are unable to revive the elderly customer. Audrey then faces an anxious wait to find out exactly how she passed away.
Daily Star
update: DS can confirm that, contrary to some reports today, there is no suggestion that Audrey is responsible for the death and she does not face any legal repercussions over the matter.
Typical sensationalist gutter journalism by the rag known as the Star. HTF would Audrey have ever been charged with murder even if the hairdryer had dodgy wiring. If she had knowingly used a hairdryer with dodgy wiring then the worst she would have faced would have been a manslaughter charge. However had the deceased been electrocuted I think it would have been a bit more obvious than Emily finding her dead in the chair.
That is what I thought too !!

Shame i thought it was that Audrey kills David or Nick

LOL If only
Coronation Street favourite Audrey Roberts will collapse on the cobbles in a forthcoming episode, a report has claimed.
The Weatherfield hairdresser, played by Sue Nicholls, sparks fears for her health when she passes out in the New Year, according to the Daily Star.
Audrey is immediately rushed to hospital but her loved ones are later relieved to learn that nothing is seriously wrong.
Instead, doctors diagnose Audrey with high blood pressure and she is forced to give up alcohol for good.
Audrey's main storyline this year saw her fall for cross-dresser Marc Selby (Andrew Hall), but the relationship did not work out.
She has also been tipped for more drama in 2012 as con artist Lewis Archer (Nigel Havers) will be returning to Weatherfield.
We spoke to the lovely Sue Nicholls about whether romance is on the cards for Audrey and Ken?
Is Audrey surprised by her feelings for Ken?
At first she is just enjoying his company and not reading too much into it but she is eventually surprised about how she is feeling. First of all she is seeing herself in a mother earth type of role as he has had this dreadful loss and needs someone to talk to. But after having a couple of occasions where they spent time together they start talking about how long it takes to move on from a loss which sorts of takes it into a different area, as it it recognising that moving on to another relationship is an option.
Does it panic her a little?
Yes I think maybe it does a little not because she doesn’t like it but because she does like it and that worries her.
She feels a bit out of her depth with someone like Ken. She probably went home that night and poured a very large drink and thought “Ooh what is happening here!”
What do you think it is about Ken that attracts her?
Initially it is the first time that they have talked about other things, it is a bit deeper, not just about general day to day stuff. She finds she quite enjoys his company, I don’t think for one moment that she ever thought she would have a grown up conversation with Ken.
She tried to impress him with reading Anna Karenina and he was so lovely when she did admit she wasn’t really reading it he was so sweet about it! Sometimes when you get to know someone a bit and perhaps go to their home you start to see them in a way that you haven’t done before.
Do you think she is concerned somewhere with what people may think because of Deirdre?
I think in a way there is that yes and I can understand that because it is quite soon after. At this point she isn’t able to go too far down worrying about that because Nessa appears.

Ken and Nessa - Coronation Street - ITV
Nessa arrives on the Street and takes an instant shine to Ken...
Does Audrey immediately realise that Nessa fancies Ken?
Oh yes very quickly, she is very upfront and straight in there. She thanks Ken straight away for helping look for her son Alex, she doesn’t give Audrey a second glance. Particularly once Audrey has made it clear she and Ken are not an item. She thinks she is a bit over the top.
Do you think she is a match for Nessa?
Well I actually think she knows exactly what Nessa is and what she stands for because she is very much the sort of person Audrey was when she was younger. She’s flirty and gregarious. There’s a bit of that still in Audrey.
Nessa doesn’t have the baggage of having known Deirdre or caring what other people think so she can just put it out there and go for it.
What happens when Audrey confides in Rita?
Because Audrey has gone home on her own and the whole Ken thing has occupied her mind more than it would if she had a house full of people then she feels she really needs to speak to someone. Rita is the person who had already started to notice things anyway and had made a few comments. They have a chat in the pub and Rita tells her she should tell him how she feels.

Audrey and Rita - Coronation Street - ITV
Audrey confides in Rita.
If you were Audrey’s friend how would you advise her?
I think I would not have been as forward as Rita, I would have said just see how it goes and see if it goes any further. Don’t rush into things and if it is meant to be it will. Don’t worry about Nessa we don’t know anything about her and there is nothing to say Ken is interested.
Do you think Audrey and Ken would make a good couple?
That is a very difficult question to ask. There are some very big shoes to fill and they are very different people. I was quite surprised when I was first told about what was going to happen, but nicely surprised. In fairness it depends what they are going to do and how it develops, it is nice that it is quite a slow burner and is coming from a mutual friendship. And as yet we don’t know if they will end up as a couple. For now she is just very peeved that Nessa has come in and stolen her companion from her.
Ken would also have big shoes to fill as Audrey’s love of her life was Alf?
That is true, Audrey first set her sights on Alf because of his position, she had been around the block a bit and he could give her a life she wanted but she grew very much to love him and he helped make her the woman she is today. He taught her a lot. Growing old with someone is all part of it. Most of all I think Ken and Audrey could have a lovely friendship.
How do you think the families will react about this growing friendship?
Well the family are very unforgiving with Audrey and Gail and their choice in men so if they think something is possibly developing with Ken it would be interesting to see how they and indeed Tracy will react!

Nessa, David, Audrey, Ken - Coronation Street - ITV
Are you enjoying working with Bill?
Yes I am I love Bill, we haven’t ever really worked together before this to any degree - I have been in the Barlow’s maybe about half a dozen times in total before this storyline. It is a joy for me as an actor to work with different people, you get used to working with your on screen family and it is lovely to suddenly have something different. Bill is a real giggler and it seems I make him laugh even when I’m trying to be dramatic.
Have you had any response from viewers?
Not really as yet because aside from the Anna Karenina incident there hasn’t been a lot of indication that anything might develop. It will be interesting to see what the viewers make of it.
I do think it is something that people of a certain age can identify with. Are you ready to give up the life you are living and let someone else in?

Still not keen on Ken having a new partner so soon
I know that some who have lost a partner through either death or just splitting up to go a bit wild with looking for new relationships, probably to deaden the pain of having lost their partner or some do it to feel that they are still attractive to the opposite sex .. or same sex, if they are gay. A lot of the time I can imagine is for companionship rather than romance .. was hoping that would be what they intend for Ken to happen but if Audrey starts feeling smitten and now Nessa I dare say it will be more than that .. shame :(

People do deal with tragedy /bereavement
differently-as you say.
But for me the unbelievable bit is 2!! women
being interested in KB! One a number of
years younger and the other a lot younger.!
I thought the imbalance in ratio of
women to men in later life was being
reduced?
But its a Soap so.DesperateWomen'R'Us
is the message-again!
In the case of corrie its anyone is desperate and on the rebound all the time male or female. What happened to Lizs hair, i hope it wasa hallowean do

The" pairings " in Soaps are usually just
matching up two spare parts - regardless
of suitability- so no one gets much choice!
But I would say the men generally do better
than the women - who seem.to settle for
anyone!
Given Ken's loooong history of womanising, and the fact he and Deirdre barely spent any time together in the last couple of years of her life, I don't see any problem with him getting together with Audrey fairly quickly. I've heard of several widowed people who've lost spouses of many years marrying again rapidly because they can't bear to be alone.
I don't think being elderly necessarily has much to do with it either. Even if the body ails, many people still crave love and intimacy whatever their age. However, I do agree with MM that the presumably much younger Nessa panting after Ken is a bit far-fetched! :eek:
To me, Roy finding a new partner is much more unbelievable. I think he'd have spent the rest of his life alone in reality, although I'm happy to see him with Cathy because I don't want to watch him being lonely.
What happened to Lizs hair, i hope it wasa hallowean do
I noticed Liz's hair too. It looked like a haystack! :eek:

Deidre was out of the street for months, and he was left to cope with the family, so in one way, he was already living without her, and as they both had extra marital affairs, it was hardly a "love affair", I'm not a bit surprised he is moving on, he's that type of egotistical man
Can't believe how quickly Ken settled for Nessa he should have continued to focus his attentions on Audrey. He could not have cared enough and took the easier option...basically the first woman to give him attention

I think Ken and Audrey are destined to have a relationship. It was going to start back when Ken tried to get Audrey to read Anna Karenina, but they put a hold on the storyline due to Anne Kirkbride's death.

It might have been foretold by that architect
of "wonderful relationships"-SB - not sure about
Destiny - thought she would have more sense.!
Have to see what new producer makes of it.
Though I stick to my position that Audrey
deserves better I can see a funny side to it.!
It should take D Platts mind off Callum &the
drains- if he thinks that his inheritance is
going down them!
I think the bookies would give you short
odds becsuse its an unwritten soap law
that women must settle for anything.!!
Perhaps the fates will intervene !
It would be good if she found someone better and then has big regrets

Sorry i meant ken having big regrets after seeing her with someone better
It might have been foretold by that architect
of "wonderful relationships"-SB - not sure about
Destiny - thought she would have more sense.!
Sorry, I meant a relationship between Ken and Audrey had been decided quite a while back by the Corrie team, not that it was meant to be. :o
Can't believe how quickly Ken settled for Nessa he should have continued to focus his attentions on Audrey. He could not have cared enough and took the easier option...basically the first woman to give him attention
and what annoys me, not because of his age etc, but why can Ken not be friends with both Audrey and Nessa? why did he have to 'make a choice'?
he could have had lunch, dinner, drinks, theatre with more than one person..

thats so probably -but its only in Soaps especially
Corrie their option would be restricted to one
such unprepossessing person:)
Coronation Street hairdresser Audrey Roberts prides herself on customer satisfaction - but not when her love rival Nessa Warner ends up in her clutches next month.
Audrey (Sue Nicholls) is currently wrestling with secret feelings for Ken Barlow, but is kicking herself for letting Nessa get in there first.
As Audrey nurses a broken heart, episodes airing in early December will see Nessa (Sadie Shimmin) have further luck with Ken when she spends the night at the Barlow house for the first time.
Nessa also makes an effort to win round Ken's granddaughter Amy, hoping that it will cement her new place within the Barlow family.

What does Amy have in store for Nessa?

With her relationship going from strength to strength, Nessa is delighted when she later tells Audrey that she'll be attending Carla Connor and Nick Tilsley's engagement party as Ken's plus one.
Audrey pretends to be happy for Nessa and offers to do her hair for the occasion, but Nessa is appalled by the results when Audrey's efforts go drastically wrong.
It's clear to Nessa that Audrey sabotaged her on purpose and she refuses to attend the party because she looks so frightful. However, when Ken (Bill Roache) invites Nessa to stay the night again, has Audrey's masterplan backfired?

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Friday, December 11 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
I am sure it was not deliberate. I bet Audrey got herself in a state listening to Nessa go on and on
Looks horrible but surely Nessa could just give her hair a good brushing and wear it the way she usually does?? Why is she sulking and not going to the party?? :ninja:

I thought perhaps Aud felt a bit peckish
and thought of Walnut Whips and let it
affect her styling!
I dont think we can expect "adult " behaviour
from.either character while this plotline
continues.Dont know much about Nessa really
but have always liked Audrey.
A bit flighty when younger but basically
good hearted sensible and a sense of humour.
And now......
p.s. do we know why Audrey has a plaster on
wrist?.Hope thats not an indication of plot
development
smiling happy with a spring in her step, lewis?
aud wasnt in financial trouble before Archie's 80k so nick taking it shouldn't mean her selling her business and home

She did say she did not have any savings ... does not sound as if she ever paid into a private pension fund so that is why she has to carry on working or selling home and business...

Did Audrey sell half her salon business to Maria or just give to Maria to get her back?

mark eden aka alan bradley has died
Coronation Street actor Mark Eden has died at the age of 92.
Mark, who played the legendary Corrie villain Alan Bradley, died earlier today after living with Alzheimer's.
The actor played Alan Bradley for three years and his abusive character is famed for the scene in which he was struck and killed by a Blackpool tram while chasing his partner Rita Fairclough in 1989.
Mark had been married to fellow Weatherfield icon Sue Nicholls, who plays Audrey Roberts in the soap, since 1993.
RIP
street's next newest alcoholic ?
Todd Boyce is reprising the role as Stephen Reid her son
did she take the sleeping tablets on purpose?
did she take the sleeping tablets on purpose?
That is what the doctor implied going by the toxology report..by where did she take the tablets? Who found her and got her into hospital because she was not found by Gail ...
In the wake of scenes in which she attempted suicide, Coronation Street is to highlight the issues of mental health and the impact of loneliness in older people when Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) confides in her friends that she tried to take her own life.
Viewers saw Audrey receiving treatment in hospital last month, telling a doctor that she had accidentally taken too many tablets and this week, she continues to insist that was the case to her own GP.
Metro
Never believed Audrey when she said she made a mistake with the number of pills she had taken. I like it that Corrie is highlighting the loneliness of elderly folk that might have family around them but are still desperately lonely. Hopefully it might encourage some families to take more care of their relatives and make sure they are ok..
