Audrey will meet Geoff in scenes that air this week when she ends up in hospital after being robbed by the teenage thugs who are causing mayhem on the cobbles.
Geoff is a DJ at the hospital radio station and Audrey ends up blushing when she mistakes him for a doctor.
But her faux pas leads to friendship as they end up hitting it off and Geoff invites her to watch him spin his wheels of steel in hi DJ booth.
And how can a girl resist an offer like that?
Things go a bit pear-shaped when Audrey accidentally locks herself in the booth though as Geoff pops out to get them coffee.
They manage to set her free but the little adventure leads to them bonding. Naaaaaaaaaw.
Later in the week, when Audrey is discharged from hospital, Geoff tells her he might see her around as he’s got family in Weatherfield.
This reveal has got fans speculating that his family could be on the very same cobbled street where Audrey works.
Fans took to the forums on Digital Spy to share their thoughts on who Geoff’s family could be – and the most popular theory is that Geoff is Tim Metcalfe’s dad!
One Corrie viewer said: “Tim’s father case? Next week Audrey will recieve a new love interest in the form of a man called Geoff after she ends up in hospital.
“Upon being discharged the man tells her that their paths may cross again as he has family in Weatherfield – the man’s second name?… Metcalfe.”
A second said: “I think it must be. It’ll be good to see Tim have his family around and how Sally reacts to him.”
But the most telling clue is that Geoff’s last name is rumoured to be Metcalfe.
