If you notice Fred says in Britian they drive on left side of the road. Well so does Thailand. A little hint for him there that he totally missed she was a massive faker
Agreed! Here was the red flag for me...her surname was Pattaya ..a city in Thailand! Maybe it's a surname too but I never googled it!! Also English is very hard to master for speakers of non-romance/Germanic language without lots of immersion which could take years!...poor Fred!
John Savident is an ok actor.But he nails it as Fred.but his shocked reaction towards the end was terribly acted. I notice he’s a very tactile actor I couldn’t cope with folk like that 😂
I wouldn't say his reaction was that bad to be fair. It was very fitting to the character it looked like a desperate old man who had his bonfire peed on.
@@LeviJamesRE That is a fair point mate, Even though it's fiction and he's obsessed and desperate for love he never learns, He jumps in both feet first without getting to know a person, I just watched an episode where he promised to leave Maureen Holdsworth everything and they weren't even dating at that point, Going to leave a woman he only knows his fortune than his own nephew at the time, And to think you get people like that it's i do feel sorry for them, But i would rather be alone than be desperate enough to be with someone because of my bank book, Plus im glad he didnt make it to the alter with Shelly she was a bad one
No I thought it was very well acted very realistic etc. Orchid was brilliant. This type of thing will always happen as we all want to find love in some way. Notice George the undertaker breaking the truth back then
Fred Telling Orchid About Must Let These Folks For You They're Rough and Randy Especially The Woman But They're Good Hearted Janice Was Looking Fed He Saying about Janice When She Said is He Calling Me Rough Randy Karen Saying Janice How Does He Konws You Were Kind Harted All
I miss the days when Coronation Street was actually brilliant. Briggs and Savident were true acting legends. RIP.
RIP John you were a iconic character
Orchid….from East Manchester!! RIP John you were a legend I say you were a legend
Just seen that the actor he played Fred has sadly passed away 💔
13:34 "Phwoarr, flamin' 'ell, good heavens, he needs locking up!"
Ting tong and mr Dudley I say Dudley 😂 bless you mr fwed. You were one of the last of a long line of fantastic characters.
Kirk and tyrone thinking she is called 'our kid' 😂😂

RIP John Savident
Oh god i loved Orchid coming into this!! Hilarious yet so sad for Fred at the end x
he was an absolute suberb actor
31:35 "I'VE LOST ME APPETITE!!"
By 'ell John Savident aka Fred Elliott was a true legend I say a true legend!!
Fred: Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure...
Kirk: I bet it does. 😂😂😂
41:29 🤣🤣
Fred: Ladies and gentleman, it gives me great pleasure
Kirk: I bet it does
LOL.
55:43 bit when he calls her a common tart. 😂
Poor Fred. He is just like Eastenders's Heather Trott. He wanted to find the love of his life. Fred wanted to find happiness.
Wanted to find happiness i say! 😂
Now he's drop dead Fred I say he's drop dead Fred.
How is it poor Fred? He was quick to dismiss the older ones. He was a disgusting old perv.
@@badwolf66 that movie makes me cry everytime
29:09 that did make me laugh
aww poor fred i said porr fred brilliant acting
'E were too old for 'er, I say 'e were too old for 'er.
With Fred's accent and vernacular, a non-native speaker of the level Orchid presented herself, would have been lost 90% of the time.
Orchid pataya 😃🤭👍
