[edit] Major storylines
Other than the storyline involving the death of Maxine, more recently, Fred challenged a rival butcher, Eddie Maddocks, to a boxing match, which was between Ashley and the butcher's son Marvin, who happened to be the local champion. On the day, Fred dropped a mass on to Ashley's foot, mildly injuring him. Ashley carried on with the fight, but in the end Ashley and Marvin agreed on a tie.
His latest storyline revolves around his father's death. Fred went to see Audrey Roberts a few minutes before he was supposed to marry Beverly Unwin, however he died before he left Audrey's house. Although Ashley swears that Fred and Audrey weren't having an affair other residents of the street don't believe him, so he has to cope with the loss of his father and prevent people tarnishing his memory. Ashley also blames Audrey for Fred's death because she told him that she loved him the week before he was due to marry Beverly.
