Lewis Archer
Lewis Archer is a fictional character from the British soap opera ''Coronation Street'', played by Nigel Havers. The character was created and introduced as a love interest for Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls). Executive producer Kim Crowther revealed the team wanted an actor who was slightly younger than Audrey and who was very charming. Various actors were considered for the part, but the casting director suggested Havers as she knew he was a big fan of the show. The actor said he could not turn down a chance to appear in ''Coronation Street'' as his character had an interesting story arc. Havers was contracted until July 2010 and he made his debut as Lewis in the episode broadcast on 18 December 2009.
Lewis is a gentleman escort, who is described as being suave, charming and charismatic. He is first seen accompanying Claudia Colby (Rula Lenska) to a Christmas ball. He is introduced to Audrey, who falls for his charm and later hires him to be her companion to another event. In March 2010, Lewis was seen advertising his services in ''The Lady'', as part of a crossover between the society magazine and ''Coronation Street''. Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox) sees the advert and books Lewis for a date, forming a love triangle storyline between them and Audrey. Lewis eventually declares his feelings for Audrey and they plan to leave Weatherfield together.
As their plans to emigrate step up a gear, Lewis forges a plan to steal money from Peter Barlow's (Chris Gascoyne) betting shop by cashing fraudulently franked betting slips. His scam is successful and he cheats on Audrey when he kisses Deirdre Barlow (Anne Kirkbride). Lewis flees the UK; he made his last appearance on 13 August 2010. Just over a year later, it was announced Havers would reprise his role as Lewis and return to ''Coronation Street'' in February 2012. Havers believed Lewis would be a changed man who wanted to apologise to those he had hurt. The character's first period in the show was well received by television critics. On 22 January 2013, it was announced that Havers would be leaving ''Coronation Street'' once again and Lewis departed on 1 February 2013.
==Creation and casting==
On 14 October 2009, Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy announced Havers had joined the cast of ''Coronation Street'' as Lewis, a potential love interest for Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls). A writer for ''What's on TV'' said Havers was to make a one-off appearance in December before continuing in the role throughout 2010. The show's executive producer, Kim Crowther, told Gareth McLean of the ''Radio Times'' that while the team was planning the Audrey and Lewis storyline, they decided they wanted to introduce someone who was very charming, and slightly younger than Audrey. Casting director June West considered various actors for the part, including Anthony Head, but she suggested Havers for the role as she knew he was a big fan of the show.〔 Crowther quipped, "When you think of Nigel, you think of someone suave enough to charm you out of your high heels. Half the work is done."〔 Havers said he could not refuse the part because his character was fascinating and had an interesting story arc, and that being on the show had always been his ambition. Havers was initially contracted until July 2010 and he made his debut screen appearance as Lewis on 18 December 2009.〔 In March 2010, Havers stated that he was keen to renew his contract, as he was enjoying his time with the soap.〔
