Information About

Fred Feast




He was best known for his role as the Rovers Return 's "potman", Fred Gee, a crooked man with unscrupulous morals, on the Soap Opera '' Coronation Street '', a role he played from 1975 to 1984 . After leaving the soap, he went on to a three-year stint on the BBC1 series '' All Creatures Great And Small ''.

He was later amongst a group of actors heavily criticised by the show's former producer, Bill Podmore in his memoirs: ''Coronation Street: The Inside Story''.

Feast later admitted that he regretted leaving the show that had made him a household name and longed to be re-called by programme bosses but it never happened. Instead, his character was killed off in ''Coronation Street'' just weeks before Feast's own death from abdominal Cancer .
