Sue Nicholls doesn’t want Audrey to become an alcoholic
Actress Sue Nicholls previously revealed how she refused to let bosses turn Audrey into a lonely alcoholic.
“There was something pitched to me years ago that the storyline could be that Audrey was at home and going home drinking a lot – a bit true to life actually,” she said.
“Gail and the family would ask if she was lonely. I said I didn’t agree,” Sue added.
“I asked: ‘Why do you think somebody, of whatever age I was, that just because she works in the salon and goes home that she’s lonely and needs to drink? Not necessarily.’
“To be honest I can’t get wait to get home and plonk on the sofa, and yes pour the rosé, but it’s not because I’m depressed it’s because: ‘How wonderful, they’re all gone!’
