One of Corrie's great characters.

One of Britain's better actors too. Plus he's been in lots of shows and you don't get all that work unless you've got plenty to give.

Get well soon, mate.

Eddie Yates and Stan Ogden were the greatest comedy team that Corrie has ever had. Even after he cruised off into the sunset with Diamond Lil...he is long remembered. But wasn't he just great after Corrie in his role as Onslow...wonderful stuff. We are thinking of you Geoffrey. Get better soon.
