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.

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..

Coronation Street has confirmed that Audrey Roberts is ploughing ahead with a big change in her life after 35 years.

Audrey is undeterred in her decision to leave her home on upmarket Grasmere Drive, where she's lived since 1990.

The fan favourite first shared her plans in March this year, vowing to move into the annexe at the Platt house on Coronation Street.

Audrey's grandson David was appalled by the idea and there's been little mention of it since then.

However, with the Platts now back home after the repairs carried out following February's fire, there's an important Audrey update in tonight's episode?

At the salon, Audrey informs Shona Platt that she'll be skipping the family barbecue that she and David have organised to celebrate moving back home.

Audrey explains: "I have had a change of plan. I don't really like barbecues anyway and I don't like the smoke smell that gets in your hair.

"[I'm going to] farewell drinks with my neighbours from Grasmere Drive. So it will be a bit more civilised?."

Later, it's revealed that a new door has been installed in the hallway of the Platt house, allowing Audrey to discreetly come and go into the annexe as she pleases.

David notes: "Gran wanted a front door. I don't know why, but she said it was a deal-breaker."

Nick replies: "A bit of discretion, David. She might have a gentleman caller."

Will Audrey be happy living on the Street, amid the inevitable family dramas that will unfold? Or will she miss her safe haven on Grasmere Drive? Only time will tell...

Audrey's house has featured on screen on Corrie during certain storylines over the years.

One particularly memorable moment aired in 2006, when Fred Elliott sadly died while visiting Audrey on the morning of his wedding to Bev Unwin.
