Fans of Coronation Street were astounded to learn that there
was no age difference between Helen Worth and Sue Nichols.
Audrey Roberts and Gail Platt, a mother and daughter,
initially appeared on the ITV soap in the 1970s.
Gail and Audrey haven't always had the best of ties with
their families, but recently as Audrey has turned to drinking, things have
gotten even worse.
However, when viewers learned that Helen is 71 and Sue is
78, there is just a seven-year age difference between the two.One viewer tweeted:
"Just checked, in real life Audrey is 78 and Gail is 71!"
While another commented: "They both look amazing!"
A third wrote: "They both look great for their
age!"
It comes after Su spoke about how Audrey is left feeling
over her family's treatment of her.
"She feels very much as though they have been treating her like a child and like someone who didn’t have the capacity to make her own decisions," Sue said. "She realised why she was so upset about it when she had the chat with Rita who is also very independent and she made it clear to her that they shouldn't be treating her in that way.

"All of the things that had happened to her initially
were not that desperate and could have happened to anyone. She backed the car
into Rita’s car and they told her she shouldn't drive.
"She had her cataract operation, again not a huge thing
these days and they started to say she had to slow down, they were doing it for
the right reasons, but she found it irritating and especially when they kept
telling her she couldn't have a drink, putting everything down to that, so
sometimes she did it just to annoy them as she was frustrated."
The actress added: "This storyline is not about Audrey
having a drink problem but in the end she caused herself a bigger problem when
she did get tipsy in the salon, sacked everyone and got trapped under the
motorbike, thereby in their eyes proving them right, when actually she was
pushed to behave in that way by her frustrations with them."
