Her son Stephen comes back after an explosive family meeting
The Weatherfield stalwart played by Sue Nicholls gave soap fans a fright when she was discovered under a motorbike at the barber’s in recent scenes of the ITV drama.
She was saved just in time by her son Stephen Reid (portrayed by returning actor Todd Boyce) who quickly became one of her main source of support.
The character is making enemies within his own family as he takes control of his mother’s financial assets – and could even be hiding a deep dark secret.
However, Stephen recently left Audrey to her own devices after a huge family row.
