Rest in peace John ❤❤❤ what an actor and character will be sorely missed

This was heartbreaking, I say this was heartbreaking. Fred was such a great character. He was charming and loveable. I didn't want him to go.

One of the best soap characters in British soap history

Fred Elliot was one of the greatest coronation street characters and John Savident was great in the role Rest in peace ❤❤❤

Poor old Fred. What a man, I say what a man!

I really miss those kind of characters, they felt like a big part of Coronation Street, but now they are gone.

FRED (in producer's voice): I have to go now. My planet needs me.

Some wonderful warm acting from that man there. Poor Fred he didn’t get to have those happy years with his wife

take a luke at me pork sausage Audrey, I say take a luke at me pork sausage!

John Savident died to day, I say he died, TODAY. 86 he was, 86.

Poor Fred. I know some felt this was not a good exit for Fred. I thought it was alright, although I did think they went too far in blaming Audrey. The best part of the story for me was Ashley's grief. The man who plays him is very underrated.

Such a shame to see him go, I say see him go.

one hell of a character

Sad but brilliant. Broadcast Monday 9th October 2006 When my youngest was born!!!

I was only ever an on-off occasional view or Coronation Street but even I know that that was no way for the writers to give the great Fred Elliot his exit. He deserved better, as did characters like Alma, Mike Baldwin and Jack Duckworth. Their deaths were like an afterthought the writers half-heartedly knocked out in a three minute meeting and it's the reason I never watch the show today. Well, that and the fact that all the new characters are completely uninteresting.

They could have given Fred a happy ending, Why couldn't he have the fresh start that he spoke about and left the street a happy man I say a happy man,

He went to that butchers shop in the sky i said that butchers shop in the sky.

all these "i say" comments are getting old. & i find it really cruel how they let him die on his wedding day, he could have at least got married first. he was the best most entertaining actor in the whole history of coronation street. disgraceful i say, DISGRACEFUL.

Heartbreaking yet beautiful rest in peace John 🌹

what a legend Fred Elliott

6:43 The sound Fred makes when he jizzes his pants

Wow. Can't believe its been six years since he left.

The best character in the street EVER.

For some reason, his voice reminds me of Wallace! Can just imagine Fred saying..."More cheeesse Ashley?" lol

i loved fred,the way he spoke reminds me of foghorn leghorn....my favorite guy on corry ever!!!!

we're watching!!!!!

a legend i say legend

Shame Fred had to go he would have been great up till now 2021 he was Brilliant

I can't believe this was so long ago I say I can't believe this was so long ago

Miss our Fred!

Say something, I'm dead woman I say I'm dead

the men in audreys life like dying suddenly and unexpected

I remember my dad joking to me at the time saying he heard Fred would discover Charlie and Maria's affair and when Charlie learnt about this, he'd threaten Fred so much, resulting in his heart attack. Would have been sadder but then it may have given Bev more of a reason to hate Charlie and lay off Audrey.

He was in Clockwork Orange

Rip, i say rip

It would have been nice to see Fred have a happy ending and marrying and moving on.

Fred and Ashley: 2 of the very best characters in CS, along with Bet & Alec, the Duckworths of course.

I think after all the tragedy and hardships Fred had been through he deserved a happy ending just for once, It would have been nice for him too drive off with his new wife and a new life in the sun somewhere,

He's reunited, I say reunited with our Ashley.

you were great fred, i say i say you were great fred

I say I say its the end of a true legend

Rip

THIS KISS OF DEATH LITERALLY 🤣🤣🤣

Remember when Graeme Proctor started talking like Fred some time after he died to spook Ashley lol.

LOL. Fred: ''Be happy I say be happy.'' Fred walks out of room Fred: AAaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.... smash! That sound makes me laugh everytime!

I love coronation street

Fred were a legend I say he were a legend

Loved Fred went down hill when he died 🤔

Aw,bless him.There are so many powerful characters who've left the Street 1 way or another.I love Corrie but it has rather become a watered down version of itself now.Hilda & Stan,Mike,Alma,Bet,Betty,Blanche & so many others.The younger ones,whilst good enough in their own way simply don't have the gravitas that the older characters did.Ken & Dreary are a joke,Rita & Norris rarely work together now & Emily,well,'nuff said.Some of the storylines have been barking mad as well.John Stape,anyone?!

Fred says he loved Audrey for years but he was married to Eve and Maureen even though Audrey was around and he also proposed to Rita!

@HellGirlie007 he died of a massive heart attack

"I am dead..dead I say I am dead do yer hear me our Ashley I say I am dead!"

Fred and Ashley were like Arkwright and Granville. Imagine them, having the butchers on the same road as the shop. That would of been brilliant. 😅😅😅 Just picturing Fred and Arkwright having an argument in the street, feuding over there shops. Corner shop, I say corner shop. Arkwright I say Arkwright, why are you selling those. Sausages I say sausages, If you want steak, come next door, I say next door. Fred, if you dddddd. If you dddd. Coughs. If you ddddd. Don't like this shop. You know w.w. w. w. What you can do. Our Ashley, I say our Ashley come out here now I say now. G.g.g.g Granville.. F. F. F. F. Fetch a gun.

How is he

My favourite character ever

Loved him was well gutted when I read he was going to die 😭

How many people have died at Audrey's? I know Alma died there.

I'm glad his last words were 'I say' I say, so I am

I say rest in peace john savident aka fred 🙏

1:46 - Oh Yes! Sounded pure like churchill!

@RichardElden no answer.....came the stern reply

fred elliot is wot a real man should be about not one of theses so call keep fit silly men

I've been stabbed, I say I've been stabbed!

sat, sitting in tha there church...lol

Looks like St Mary’s church in Prestwich

Pahaha, with Ashley as his loyal servant

My bums loose i say me bums loose.

here lies a chap called fred ee's dead i say he's dead

Allso i miss Ashley peacock one of my faves characters on coronation street

Audrey wouldn't have been worthy of Fred, by any measure. Her track record of gold-digging, and philandering... He made the right choice, even if he wasn't 100% sure.

When Corrie was good

@TheChairsniffer Haha!

ah poor man was attacked by rent boys i say attacked by rent boys

@RichardElden its hardly a big deal these days.....its about time you 'came out' isn't it darling

Freds barrd up

How does Fred die

Asay, I was just bending over to charge my phone and then asay I’ve been stabbed. And not in a nice way.

What did he actually die of?

@seviwesuohetarepsed I'm pleased I upset you so.

I'm fucked, I say Audrey I'm fucked

Poor fred I say, Poor fred!

Be happy, I said be happy

Fred loves a sausage

Oooncle freeeed

So sad, I say so sad!

I say I say a legend dies
