I'd spotted in the local theatre brochure that the actor was appearing on stage in this play. And after we'd broken that news and blogged it, the tabloids, in their cut-and-paste ways, nicked our work and posted it as their own without any credit or link to our blog.
But I still wish he wasn't going. I like Freddie and I'm going to miss him.
He first turned up in Weatherfield in March of last year, the widowed husband of Sadie Smith, an old and valued customer of Audrey's salon. When Sadie died unexpectedly, Freddie asked for Kylie Platt to do her nails for the funeral.
He tried to woo both Audrey and Rita, to no avail and ended up working in Webster's Autos for Kevin where Norris tried to teach him how to dance!
I just wish he'd been given a fight in the Rovers where he could've threatened to put someone through the square window.
Farewell Freddie, you'll be missed.

I too will miss Freddie. Such an under-used character that had so much promise. I wish they would quit doing this.
Are we sure he's going for good and not just taking a "play break" like some of the other actors have done recently?
He was a good actor and there was a lot that could have been done with his character. It's a pity he's going.
I really like him and hope he returns. He is such a likeable chap.
I'm not sure if my comment will appear as anonymous, but I just wanted to add my thoughts to Freddie leaving - he was such a wonderful character and I really wish they could have made a permanent place for him. He will be missed.
I wonder if it isn't time for Nigel Havers to return for a visit. lol
I am disgusted that we are losing Freddie.
I don't have any affection invested in Freddie to be honest - he hasn't been there long enough for me to form an attachment.
There was so much they could have done with the character of Freddie....but I also will barely notice him missing. Shame really as he was likeable and of a certain age which is lacking on the street.
wow...few years on. Forgot who this guy was, then I saw my own comment. Apparently I was correct.
