Message: <blockquote data-quote="cobbles" data-source="post: 221750" data-attributes="member: 5138">Not even that big a gap, Helen Worth is 69 and Sue Nicholl's is 76 so that's just 7 years.Gail is the more significant heritage character though. She's had more significant storylines and been around as a regular longer, so I'd definitely keep her over Audrey. Helen Worth also seems very much like one of those actresses who will either die in the show or retire very late in life. I'd have killed Audrey off years ago but I really think know might be about the time to do it, the character was supposed to be born in 1940 which makes her 80 (or the same age as Ken, played by an 88 year old). Sue Nicholl's seems very much a corrie life so *wishing her all the good health in the world* if she sticks around to her late 80s her character would be 97..... unbelievably old for a coronation street character to be and would be difficult to portray on screen.It's being more about surrounding streets is just a natural part of it being on so much more, they need to use more sets etc.</blockquote>
