The way Audrey runs out saying there’s always something with him as if he falls through sinkholes on a daily basis 😂

What I have discovered from looking back on the "classic" episodes on ITV3 is that they reuse a lot of the same ideas after some time.

When Corrie had a sense of humor not like the show it is today its still good today but much more darker storylines

[@alfienaylor1587]

There was a dark storyline ongoing at that time, the Killer Katy one.

[@unknown_7148]

@@alfienaylor1587 I think the overall vibe of Corrie was lighter back then even with the occasional serial killer most of the characters seemed happy now everyone is just bleak

[@rickyodriscoll9729]

@@unknown_7148 well said and true

[@sashaking1115]

@@unknown_7148yes that’s right. It was more natural. That’s why I prefer old Corrie to modern Corrie

[@TeamBabylon-dp2xf]

I agree. I haven't watched corrie for 4 or 5 years now because the humor isn't the same anymore, and the storylines just go on forever.

[@MrNinjaFish]

A piece of my childhood gone. Thank you John, always appreciated seeing you on Corrie.

kid was probably confused why he was being called joshua when his name's ben. funny how he disappeared after than. no concern he could have gone down a sink hole.

@@DaleSteel That, or Fred may have died from either a stroke or a heart break.

[@DaleSteel]

@adam2.075 character died in 2006. Actor died shortly after. Many people clearly remember it happening.

[@FromtheHerts81]

Sad to hear the real John Savident passed away. As it happens a sink hole caused the road some old friends were living on to collapse. It very nearly brought their house down on top of them! It turns out there used to be a brickworks nearby and the street was over an old claypit that started to cave in.

[@KeithApp]

RIP. Such a great actor. A legend.

[@Adzcantsing]

And yet there is a sink hole in the platts back garden now.

[@lindadoughty9252]

Yes but the whole in Platts garden & underneath their house, has now been filled with foam!. 😏 I just wonder why this foams, not now clogging up the streets whole sewage system!. 😉

Fred would have had more luck telling Joshua to go ask for cookies or something. Joshua doesn't understand why the ground shouldn't be eating Fred- probably thinks it is a game

It's emotional to watch Fred like this. My grandad looked and sounded just like Fred, he even sung that very same song to me... it's uncanny. Love it, but miss him every day, as well as the character.. ❤
