Susan Frances Nicholls (born 23 November 1943) is an English actress, known for her long-running role as Audrey Roberts in the British soap opera Coronation Street. Having played Audrey on a recurring basis for six years from the characters's debut in 1979, she joined the cast permanently in 1985. She won the 2000 British Soap Award for Best Comedy Performance and the 2003 British Soap Award for Best Dramatic Performance.
Notable roles for Nicholls prior to Coronation Street include, Crossroads from 1964–68 and The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin from 1976–79. She also appeared on Broadway in the 1974 revival of the comedy London Assurance.
Sue Nicholls was born in Walsall, Staffordshire. She was educated at the School of St Mary and St Anne (now known as Abbots Bromley School for Girls), and is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Nicholls first became known as Marilyn Gates on Crossroads, a role she played from 1964-68. A song she first sang on the programme, "Where Will You Be?", charted on 3 July 1968, eventually reaching number 17 in the UK Singles Chart.
Nicholls' second single was less successful and she embarked on a career in a cabaret, performing her solo act all over the country. She returned to the stage in a variety of popular plays and pantomimes. During the 1970s, she had two very different stints abroad. In Vienna she sang between strip acts at a nightclub while in 1976 she toured America and Canada with the Royal Shakespeare Company in London Assurance, finishing with a six-week run on Broadway.
