Audrey Roberts

A single mother, Audrey Potter originally had little interest in daughter Gail's life. She married local councillor Alf Roberts, on 23rd December 1985, enjoying her social status as mayoress and believing herself to be better than the other Street residents.

Audrey also has a son, Stephen Reid, who lives in Canada. She has never been short of admirers, and has had romantic entanglements with Fred Elliott and undertaker Archie Shuttleworth, among others.

Audrey nearly became a victim of her serial killer son-in-law Richard when he discovered she was worth a lot of money, inherited from Alf. He set fire to her house but she was rescued by Steve McDonald. She currently owns and runs a hair salon and employs Maria Sutherland, her granddaughter Sarah-Louise Platt and grandson David Platt. Sarah left for Italy with her daughter, Audreys great-granddaughter, leaving just David and Maria working at the salon.

Audrey's best friend was Alma Baldwin (Amanda Barrie). Audrey was devastated when Alma died of cervical cancer in 2001.

In October 2006, Audrey spoke to her close friend Fred Elliott, who was due to marry Bev Unwin later that week, and told him how she wished he was marrying her, not Bev. This caused Fred to have doubts about his decision but seemingly decided upon marrying Bev. Audrey then told Ashley that she wouldn't be coming to the wedding, which led to Fred borrowing Dev's car to visit her. After a heart to heart, Fred prepared to leave Audrey's house to get back to the church but collapsed in the hall and died. Audrey, accompanied by the police broke the news to Ashley and Claire at the church.

Audrey struck up a relationship with old friend Bill Webster late in 2006, but on Christmas Day Bill's wife Maureen turned up, and the secret affair was revealed. Bill returned to Germany but came back to the cobbles early in 2007 and rekindled his relationship with Audrey, and he subsequently moved in with her.

In September 2007, Audrey took her grandson David into her home after he got kicked out by Gail.

Stephen, her son, returned at Christmas 2007, to offer David a job in Italy. He accepted but Audrey found drugs in his drawer at the salon and Stephen withdrew his offer. Jason, Sarah and Bethany decided to go, but Jason left Bethany and Sarah at the train station after Sarah admitted to planting the drugs. Her and Bethany continued to Milan, without him.
