Freddie is the black sheep of his family, and seen as a waste of space. He is forced to encourage his sister to win the 'sexbomb' competition but is completely against the idea of his sister using their dead mother as a facade of being so upset so that the audience vote for her simply out of sympathy. If this wasn't bad enough, living in the shadow of the reckless Cook is doing his head in. Being deeply in love with Effy, he finally kisses her expecting she would know how he feels for her. However, his heart is shattered when he sees Effy and Cook both in Effy's room that evening.

APPEARANCE

Freddie has tanned skin and brown hair. He seems to be the more attractive out of him Cook and JJ, however doesn't get the girls because he is always living in Cooks shadow.
He is shown to have a scar on his chin - implying he is a rough skateboarder. He has a good dress sense and his hair is usually straight and neat which reflects his mature personality. He walks with his hands in his pocket - bringing out his confident personality.

PERSONALITY -
Freddie is shown to have a caring personality. When Cook tells Effy to 'fuck out of the shed' Freddie goes to get her again.
He cries when he looks at the smashed copy of the family photo - signifying he wears his heart on his sleeves.

DIALOGUE
Freddie is a polite boy who respects everyone around him. When he sees Effy sitting in his front yard he says 'Hello, you're in my garden' rather than spitting abusive language and wondering why anyone should be in his garden. When Effy asks to see his shed, he is more than happy to show her.

CAMERA WORK
As soon as Freddies dad slaps him across his face because of the unsuitable manner he spoke to his sister in, the camera zooms into Freddies reaction. From this, the audience can see just how shocked and upset Freddie is.
When Cook and JJ come to Freddies house, the audience are taken to an over the shoulder show of Cook and JJ. Freddie is standing on the doorstep, he is towering over Cook and JJ as he says 'I'm not going anywhere.' Cook and JJ are looking up to Freddie making them look less powerful. At this point, the audience see that Freddie has finally come out of constantly living in Cooks shadow.

MUSIC
In the opening of the episode Freddie is shown skateboarding by himself with a slow, miserable minor soundtrack. This tells the audience he is upset about something.

The same soundtrack is played later on in the episode when Freddie comes from Effys house. He attempts skateboarding again, yet everything that has just happened takes control of him and prevents him from focusing. He falls numerous times and ends up badly scratching his arm.
