Fred arrived on Coronation Street in 1975 after his wife Edna (Mavis Rogerson) died in a warehouse fire.
Annie Walker (Doris Speed), landlady of the Rovers Return, was ordered by the brewery to take on a resident cellar man after the pub had been broken into.
Annie was instantly impressed by the quietly spoken, dapper Fred with his old world charm and impeccable manners.
One of Fred's early storylines included a brief fling with Vera Duckworth (Elizabeth Dawn) and brought her back to the Rovers to have afternoon tea with Annie, but nothing came of the relationship.
Fred was unlikeable and devious, and often did things for the sheer devilment, such as tossing bread on top of Eddie Yeats's (Geoffrey Hughes) dustcart to attract pigeons in order to ruin his chances of winning the Best Kept Dust-Cart competition.
In 1999, Eunice Gee (Meg Johnson) returned for a brief time and announced that Fred had died of a heart attack some months previously.
