There was some confusion among Coronation Street fans last week when an unexpected arrival came to Audrey Roberts' rescue. The iconic character found herself in trouble when her drinking got a bit out of hand - despite her family's attempts at an intervention.
Audrey's drinking appeared to take a dark turn early last week and by the end of the week the former hairdresser was left alone in the barbers, Trim Up North, when she sacked grandson David Platt as well as Kelly Neelan and Maria Windass as she decided to drunkenly get back into her old trade.
A visit from daughter Gail to try and get her to see that her family want to help her and that she needs to knock her drinking on the head, Audrey erupted and told her that she was going to live back at home. But as Gail left, Audrey drunkenly knocked into a display motorbike in the barbers and ended up trapped underneath it with her cries for help unheard.

That was until the next day when Brian Packham and Eileen Metcalfe heard the quiet pleas and who just so happened to be arriving via taxi on the cobbles? Audrey's son Stephen Reid. He was soon seen breaking down the door, worried for his mum, who he finds lying barely conscious on the floor of the barbers.
He was soon reunited with his family and appeared annoyed that they had left Audrey to get into such a state. He ended up going ahead of Gail and accompanying his mum in the ambulance to the hospital, and later, when Audrey woke from surgery, the character wasn't happy to see her daughter by her bedside and ordered her to leave, leaving Stephen with his mum.
