But that was when characters actually had something to do, other than hop in out of each others beds and disrupt weddings. <br /><br />There was also Alf's legendary meanness which provided many a laugh and a souce of conflict with Audrey.

While I do have a soft spot for dear old Alfeh, my favourite male Corrie character is definitely Fred, I say Fred Elliott.
