Well if they just leave her storyline like this I will be pissed but I'm sure there will be more to this story
Longtime lurker, but I have an idea about Audrey that may or may not have been brought up yet. She's in the Black Lodge. If you look as they pan from her to Charlie, there is a staircase, similar to the one the Woodsmen are seen on by Cole. Not the same, I compared photos, but close. The Black Lodge is always upstairs. Plus the oddity of the room, the fireplace, the rotary phone, paperwork accounting in the age of computers. Charlie also says "allotted duty" not job when referring to his work. I think Audrey was badly injured in the explosion, Mr. C (BOB) raped her and took her soul. Her "wed" her (remember "with this ring" in FWWM) to another lodge spirit (Charlie) to keep her in check and make sure she could not be a positive influence on his child, Richard. Or perhaps she willingly wed Charlie who magically restored the illusion of a healthy body for her (The Contract). She looks unscathed for being in a blast that blew the bank managers glasses off his head, through a building and across the street. I think her body is still in our world, in a coma, horribly burned. She has no clue about Richard. She's existing in a weird fantasy world that has some basis in reality (Roadhouse, Billy), but she's trapped there by Charlie. Otherwise why wouldn't she just leave to look for Billy without him? She comes from money, so why would not just actually leave Charlie and break his contract, instead of making what seemed like an empty threat to do so? Or perhaps, she has become a lodge spirit herself, her affair with Billy being through a host body, perhaps one of the women we keep seeing at the ends of the episodes. The corruption of the Lodge would explain why she has become such a harsh person and her body either being in a coma still, or having transcended fully to the Lodge, would explain why no one references her in regards to Richard.
Expecting to have David Lynch 'tie these threads together'? Don't think so..... More likely that core characters will converge in a Cosmic CF.

Maybe this is why sherlyn fenn was so pissed.. maybe she hates what lynch has done to Audrey but if that's the case why come back at all.. I have to believe this turns out at the very least with answers
I personally find the upset about Audrey's return amusing, she's no big Ed.

Well I loved Audrey .. she was my all time favaorite female TV character .. never could stand Ed.. that whole Nadine, Ed storyline put me to sleep.. actually I take that back I loved Nadine I thought she was so much more interesting then Ed .. I wish she wasn't so hung up on him
When I first saw Audrey talking, I though she might be in an insane asylum and the whole conversation was a fantasy-role play with her psychiatrist. The I thought she was an actress doing a show. A far cry from the political activist who chained herself to the bank vault door.
At least we know she isn't comotose, but that's about all we know. Billy may be dead, that could be why her husband ????became quiet after the phone call. Not sure it has anything to do with Richard.
Can't say how much I love this theory. Possibly most of all theories I've read on this forum in previous episodes. This explanation would be be the ultimate Occam's razor for everything seen in this episode. It would fit the pattern as well that the characters we loved the most in original run, are completely absent minded in this season.
Especially since I don't think Lynch would be bonkers enough to introduce another smörgåsbord of new characters (Tina, Billy, Chuck and whatnot), when there's only 5 episodes and a lot of the previous sub-plots remain unanswered.
Can somebody freshen up my memory a bit on the Season 2 twists, as I didn't re-watch it before Season 3. Was Audrey jealous of Annie Blackburn and being rejected by Cooper, which could lead her developing imaginative characters whom she has an affair with and whom she is jealous of? Also I wonder if Audrey could on some level be conscious that he was raped & mutilated by whom he thought was love of his life, Dale C., hence making her lose her shit and end up in an asylum?
I don't recall Richard ever mentioning Audrey in this season, which would incline both are unaware of each other.
The coordinates, I thought it was obvious that was to twin peaks.
That reminds me of a strange moment (amongst many!) in Episode 11. When Gordon, Albert and Diane are sitting in Mackley's office looking at the photo of the co-ordinates on Ruth Davenport's arm, Gordon asks where the co-ordinates point to. Albert says 'a small town in the north of ...'. At that point Tammy and Mackley walk in with coffee and doughnuts and there is a change of subject. It doesn't appear that Albert deliberately shuts up, but who knows? But at the time, one obviously and immediately thinks of Twin Peaks -BUT - given who he was talking to, why would Albert not simply have said Twin Peaks, and why would he have regarded this information as so insignificant that he wouldn't make a point of finishing his statement at some point? It made me think at the time that maybe it wasn't Twin Peaks he was referring to, and yet the scene with Diane this week seems to confirm that it was. It makes Albert's turn of phrase in this scene kind of hard to make sense of, doesn't it?

I honestly don't think this is the case. Fantasy roleplay? That's just so far fetched.
If it were a show like Invitation to Love(like someone had suggested) I don't think that amount of cursing would be aloud. Also why would her name still be Audrey?
"I don't think Lynch would be bonkers enough to introduce another smörgåsbord of new characters (Tina, Billy, Chuck and whatnot)"
There has been like 5 new characters added every episode, and Lynch is bonkers, easily bonkers enough to introduce more characters to the show.
I've calmed down slightly, but only slightly, after the initial horror of what Lynch has done to Audrey. "You're beautiful, intelligent, everything a man desires..." said Coop, way back when. All gone, all of it. All trace of her original character has gone, and we're left with a face and a name, now filled with a nasty, small minded vindictiveness. What an ugly scene that was, the smallness and untidiness of that room, the narrow minded bitchiness and profanity between Audrey and her "husband", the misfiring attempt at humour (c.f. the great scene when Candie fetches the insurance man in Vegas). I hated it, because of the trashing of a great character, and because the scene for me was badly written and badly acted.
I can only surmise that this is either Audrey's Doppelganger, or that Bad Coop broke her mind in some way.
Within this story, I don't know how things could have ended up well for her. Cooper's failure in the BL let loose an Antichrist-like figure, who then (apparently) sought out Audrey to corrupt her life in a horrific way.
We could have gotten a fan service ending for her. But not in the context of this show, which clearly is a reaction to fan service reboots and relaunches, among other things.
Audrey probably gave birth to Richard during the coma and doesnt even know she is a mother. I really wish she was already pregnant in the explosion, because thinking about Mr. C rapping her is awfull and would be so devastating for Cooper to know, once he wakes up.
Maybe she is still in a coma, trapped in a limbo or something...
remember ben horne's interview with sheriff truman. he says, "richard grew up without a father," not richard grew up without parents. i could be wrong but i think that line puts the theories that audrey is still in a coma, or somehow doesn't know she has a son, to sleep.
I don't think Audrey is in a coma dreaming because Ben said Richard never had a father. So probably She raised him until a certain time, And Richard may be another good reason for Audrey becoming The nasty woman She is (leaving the rape theory aside)
I do think that scene may be meant parallel Cooper in the BL in a symbolic way -- i.e. stuck in a room with a little person having endless inane conversations.
But I don't think it's actually the BL, nor that it's a Shutter Island type setup. I think Audrey just has a plain old crappy life.
