This article contains spoilers about Friday’s Coronation Street, which is already available to stream on ITVX.
It’s the end of an era for Coronation Street’s Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls), who is on the move after 35 years.
But rather than moving away from Weatherfield, she looks set to move even closer to the famous cobbles.
Audrey has lived at her home on nearby Grasmere Drive since 1990, but on Friday she dropped the bombshell that she plans to take up residence with grandson David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) on Coronation Street
As fans will remember, David and wife Shona’s (Julia Goulding) house was destroyed in a fire earlier this year.
Max Turner (Paddy Bever) started the blaze in the hope of getting the insurance money to pay off gangster Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor), to whom David was indebted.
But with Max’s crime exposed and him now serving a stint behind bars, the insurance company will not be paying out.
While David and Shona have since found another way to settle their debts with Harvey, they don’t have the cash to repair the damage to their home.
During Friday’s episode of the ITV soap, Audrey made David an offer – but with one big caveat.
Fans saw how David believed he’d outstayed his welcome at sister Sarah Platt’s (Tina O’Brien), and asked his grandmother if he could move in with her instead.
He was later stunned when Audrey revealed plans to sell her home and give him the money to do up No.8 – but would be moving in with him and Shona.
‘Do you know, I’ve already got somewhere. Once you’ve sorted out the annexe, I’ll move in there,’ she revealed.
‘You can’t expect me to stagger up the stairs to bed every night, can you?’
‘You little minx,’ David replied. ‘You’ve been planning this from the off, haven’t you? You can tell Shona, because I ain’t.’
We can’t wait to see how this plays out…
