CORONATION Street star Sue Nicholls has revealed she fears Audrey Roberts could be finished off by what son Stephen Reid has done.
The actress, 79, has played the hairdresser since 1979 - and she’s worried it could be coming to an end.
Asked whether she thought Audrey’s life was at risk from Stephen, Sue said: “Yes I did, I think we all thought that we could be at risk.
“Actually I still think that what has happened with Stephen could see Audrey off, we are all only on one year contracts so you never know.
“The aftermath of what happens this week and the confrontation with Stephen does have a profound effect on Audrey, she is a victim in many respects and how will she cope with that.”
In tonight’s episode of Coronation Street, Audrey finally finds out the truth about her beloved son Stephen stealing the equity in her house.
