After confiding in some of her friends about what she has been through, Audrey fills her family in on it all in scenes to air on Coronation Street next week.
A troubled Audrey tried to take her own life by having an overdose in recent scenes and while she has confided in those close to her, she kept the full story from her family.
But they are all set to learn the truth soon – and it looks like it could lead to a problem for Stephen and his plan to get his hands on the trust fund.

The important and sensitive family chat comes about when the Platt clan comes together for the launch of Audrey's salon.
But rather than focusing on the celebrations, Stephen's mind is set on the trust fund, and he uses the gathering to continue to push Audrey on the subject.
But his latest badgering does not go the way that he hoped it would when Audrey reveals that she has been doing some thinking and that she has changed her mind about what is best to do.
And that conversation leads to her discussing her troubles with the rest of the family, and they all learn that it was an overdose that led to her being in hospital.

And now that she has been re-evaluating things, she reveals that she has changed her will so that each member of the family gets an equal amount when she does eventually pass away.
The sole exception to that is Stephen who has been excluded after saying that he did not need the money.
Only Stephen was not being honest, and his financial situation is far worse than he had let on when he spoke to Audrey.
With his cash injection slipping through his fingers, will Stephen be pushed to do something drastic to get himself out of his problems?
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
