	Actors - Fred Feast

Fred Feast (October 5, 1929 - June 25, 1999) was a British actor, born in Scarborough.

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.
