In 2010, during an episode of Coronation Street, something happened that would change Sue's life forever. A fan of the show noticed a concerning symptom on Sue Nicholls, the actress playing Audrey Roberts, and it ended up saving her life. At the time, Sue's character was caught in a love triangle with Claudia and Lewis Archer, making for some dramatic scenes. One of these scenes caught the attention of a nurse named Anna Bianconi-Moore, who had just finished a shift at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge and was watching the show in her downtime.
As Audrey sat in bed, waiting for Lewis, Anna noticed a mole on Sue's shoulder that seemed irregular in shape and had multiple colors. Having knowledge about skin cancer, Anna immediately recognized this as a red flag for melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. She knew she had to do something and contacted the show's medical team. Sue was then referred to a specialist and a surgeon who decided to remove the mole. A week later, it was confirmed that the mole had indeed turned into melanoma.
Luckily, Sue was given the all clear and wanted to personally thank Anna for her life-saving intervention. She invited Anna to the Corrie set to meet her in person. Sue expressed her gratitude, saying, "It was so important for me to meet Anna and thank her. She is such a kind, conscientious, and clever lady. I wouldn't have done anything about my mole if she hadn't reached out. I just thought it was a harmless freckle that I had for years."
Sue believes that it was fate that brought Anna to watch that particular episode and notice the mole. In recent years, Audrey has been involved in some dramatic storylines, including overdosing on medication, having her grandsons steal from her, and reconnecting with her conman ex-lover, Lewis Archer. But she remains a beloved character, known for her iconic blue rinses and her salon, which is a staple of the show's production site.
Sadly, in 2024, Audrey will have to say goodbye to her daughter Gail Platt, as actress Helen Worth has announced her departure from the show after 50 years. This news has left fans heartbroken, but they can always relive Audrey's memorable moments through reruns.
