Usually seen with either a pair of scissors or a drink in her hand, Audrey Roberts is someone who adds a certain sparkle to the Street.
In a perfect world Audrey would be a lady who lunches. Unfortunately circumstances have dictated otherwise.
When she’s not busy keeping an eye on salon bookings she’s lending a sympathetic ear to whichever family member has got themselves in trouble.
Perfectly played by Sue Nicholls, Audrey has survived Richard Hillman, Lewis Archer and that Vivian Barford who once got a bit too close to her late husband Alf.
Jobs
The first stylist in Weatherfield to offer the ‘Farrah Fawcett’ flick, Audrey and her salon might not be so cutting edge these days but they are part and parcel of Street life.
She originally bought the place off Fiona Middleton in 1998 and at times has found keeping it a family business incredibly stressful, especially when employing grandson David.
She lost her best worker, Maria, to arch rival Claudia when she refused to make her a joint partner but thankfully Maria returned after Audrey said she was like a daughter to her.
Before the salon Audrey spent years in the corner shop with husband Alf Roberts though her main job was getting Alf to spend his money. As she said: “What is the point of being the richest man in the cemetery?”
