Remember when he went for a slurp in one of his local gay bars, took a fella back and got stabbed

They like killing characters off in Cora, with trams.

One of the last great characters in corrie, RIP fella...

When corrie had those characters it was funnier than most sit coms. Stan and Hilda, Jack and Vera etc

[Metro Man]

RIP

(Corry is crap these days......watched it from the start...but gave it up about 5 years ago)

 

[Woodman Boy]

Bloody hell, spat my coffee out at the end!

RIP, no characters like him knocking around Corrie nowadays.

Used to love his character when I watched Corrie with my mam as a kid. Tried to watch it recently and it just wasn’t the same, none of the soaps are. RIP Fred.

Every time I go round my Nana's she's got the soaps on from about 20/30 year ago. I keep asking if she's caught up yet. They're from around the time I'd watch them with my mam as well.

Up there with Jim McDonald and Dev Alahan.

 

[Roker Mackem]

Thought he went years ago tbh which is why he wasn't in it any more.

A great character when Corrie was a bit light-hearted and I'd imagine watchable (I've only ever seen the odd episode tbh).

This, Im quite shocked he hadnt died about 5 years ago+

Always remember him in The Rocky Horror Show at the Empire as narrator, after his days in Coronation Street.

He was doing his link bit saying "so was it now over, and what indeed could be over.."

Some wag near the front shouted "your career"

What's happened to the characters and the writing? It's all gone a bit bleak and serious. They seem to be too busy shoeing-in stories based on the latest social issues rather than focussing on the entertainment.

Aye, the Empire's notoriously brutal audience.
