Coronation Street fans will finally get an update on Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) in Monday night’s episode, as the Platt family films a birthday video to send her. Audrey has been absent from the cobbles since November 2025, with characters mentioning she is staying with Gail Platt in France. The video confirms she remains away from Weatherfield as Sarah Platt’s (Tina O’Brien) killer secret unravels.
Audrey’s absence continues
Audrey was last seen eight months ago, and in April 2026, David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) called Gail to wish her a happy birthday, asking her to ‘send his love to Gran’. Now, the Platts are celebrating Audrey’s birthday with a video message, reinforcing that she is still out of the country. This suggests she may not return soon, even as the family faces turmoil.
Sarah’s killer secret exposed
Next week, Sarah Platt’s deadly secret catches up with her. Viewers know Sarah killed Theo Silverton earlier this year after a confrontation on scaffolding outside his flat. She hit him with a metal bar, knocking him to the ground below. She recently confessed to detective constable boyfriend Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), who then tries to extract information from McClaughlin about the investigation.
Kit gets nothing from the interaction but raises McClaughlin’s suspicions. Though Kit believes evidence points to Gary Windass (Mikey North) and Sarah is safe, police arrive to arrest Sarah just as the Platts finish their video for Audrey. Later in the week, Sarah is charged with Theo’s murder, and Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) warns Kit to stop protecting Sarah or risk his job.
What’s next for the Platts?
The arrest leaves the Platts in chaos. Will this disaster bring Audrey back to Weatherfield? Fans will have to wait and see.
