AUDREY Roberts' decision about who will get her fortune after she dies leaves Corrie family The Platts at war with each other.

Audrey reveals she intends to leave all of her money to WARTS, the Weatherfield Association of Retail Traders, in memory of her late former husband Alf Roberts.

She promises that she loves them and will be leaving her money with them – but there's another twist.
Audrey announces that Stephen will be in charge of her fortune, to be held in trust.

Is Weatherfield a real place?
As much as ITV viewers may enjoy it, Weatherfield is a fictional town.
Known on screens as the cobbled haven for drama, heartbreak, betrayal and even murder, Weatherfield is actually based on Salford, located in Greater Manchester.
The town of Weatherfield has always been chosen to host Coronation Street's plotlines since the programme's inception in 1960.
However, this doesn't mean Corrie enthusiasts don't have the opportunity to take a trip to the cobbles as the MediaCityUK site is open to visitors as of March, 2022.
Much like other TV sets, Weatherfield was closed to members of the public due to the Covid pandemic and has just re-opened for business.

Where is Coronation Street filmed?
On-screen events and reality are sometimes worlds apart but this is far from the case for Coronation Street.
In 2014, production decided to vacate the old Granada Studios on Manchester's Quay Street.
Cameras and stars were all moved to a purpose-built 7.7 acre site in MediaCityUK.
MediaCity is situated on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in Salford and Trafford.
The set at MediaCity was built to a bigger scale than Granada Studios.
The new set also has a Costa Coffee shop, a Co-Op, a new curry house and a community garden.
However, most interior scenes are still shot in studios.
The set includes all of the iconic Corrie landmarks such as The Rovers Return, Roy's Rolls and The Bistro.
You'll also find the exterior of the character's houses on the street there.
From March, 2022, until – at the earliest – autumn, MediaCityUK is opening construction of a new addition to the set.
Soap bosses announced the opening of a construction site for the Weatherfield precinct on March 9, which has often been mentioned in dialogues between characters.

Denise Welch has said her worst kiss of all time was with Michael Le Vell.
The Loose Women star, 64, made the admission on today’s show as she discussed her time on Corrie – describing the smooch as like ‘kissing a cat’s bum’.

Her character famously embarked on a steamy affair with Kevin Webster (played by Michael), who was married to Sally at the time.
She explained: "I was in Corrie and Natalie had to steal Kevin Webster, the most happily married man away.
"I had to say to Michael 'we can’t do anything really sexy because it’s pre watershed, so you have to kiss me, like you really, really want to kiss me, so the audience believe this is the most passionate affair that makes you leave Sally'.
"But he was quite shy so I used to say you have to put your hand behind my head. It was like (purses lips together). It was really difficult.
As the rest of the panel continued, she continued: "It was a bit like a cats bum sort of shape. Sorry Michael because I love you, but it was a bit like kissing a cat’s bum. Sorry you have got to say."

SHOCKED EastEnders fans took to Twitter to express sadness and surprise as a beloved EastEnders character leaves the Square.
EastEnders' Maddy Hill made a shock departure from the soap last week after a year back on the show.
