Skins/Characters: Difference between revisions

No edit summary
Line 186:
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Ironically enough.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: More or less. Still has his issues, but handles them a lot better than most of his friends.
* [[Pretty Boy]]: Maybe even more so than Tony.
* [[Performance Artist]]
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: With nudity.
Line 457:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Essentially what happens after his Series 4 episode.

* [[PowerFreudian Trio]]: Usually the Ego, occasionally the Super-ego.
* [[Good with Numbers]]
* [[Incompatible Orientation]]: {{spoiler|He and Emily have sex despite the fact that Emily is gay. He actually thought the two of them getting together was possible when Emily chose him as her Love Ball date - but that was only because of Emily's mother and sister's homophobia, and once Naomi showed up Emily happily went with her}}.
Line 462 ⟶ 463:
* [[Motor Mouth]]: When he gets "locked-on".
* [[Odd Friendship]]: With Emily and with Thomas. His friendship with Thomas in particular came out of ''nowhere''.
* [[Power Trio]]: Usually the Ego, occasionally the Super-ego.
* [[Serenade Your Lover]]: What he does {{spoiler|to get Lara back after she dumps him because he beat up her baby daddy}}, with his adorable rendition of "True" by Spandau Ballet.
* [[TV Genius]]: Subverted - he has all the traits to fit the trope, but he's never made out to be any smarter than anyone else (except in terms of remembering lots of random facts). His social isolation is his defining factor. He does however excel in mathematics, as he clearly states in his form introduction.
Line 472:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't mention his mum.

=== Frederick "Freddie" Mclair ===
Line 487:
 
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: He's not a fan of Karen's decision to exploit their mother's memory to help her win Search for a Sexxbomb, but he cheers for her at her final performance, {{spoiler|comforts her when she loses}} and {{spoiler|when Cook laughs about how he and JJ voted against her for stealing their shed, Freddie nearly punches his lights out}}.
* [[PowerFreudian Trio]]: Usually the Super-ego (lampshaded by [[The Id|Cook]] when he calls him a "fun-sponge"), occasionally the Ego.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Cook.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[Missing Mom]]: Well, dead mom.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: The show likes to remind us of Freddie's nice chest.
* [[Power Trio]]: Usually the Super-ego (lampshaded by [[The Id|Cook]] when he calls him a "fun-sponge"), occasionally the Ego.
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Seems to enjoy leaving his shirt at home even in the ''non''-sex scenes.
* [[The Stoner]]
Line 840:
* {{spoiler|[[Friends with Benefits]]: With Alo, starting in the first episode of Series Six}}.
** {{spoiler|[[Secret Relationship]]: She doesn't want anyone to find out about her and Alo}}.
* [[PowerFreudian Trio]]: The ego.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: [[Odd Friendship|Her interactions with Alo in his episode.]]
* [[Power Trio]]: The ego.
* [[Rich Bitch]]: Not exactly rich, but she does throw pretty extravagant parties for someone her age.
** Actually, she and her mother live in a low-income neighborhood, so she is far from being actually rich. Nick tells Liv in Mini's Series 5 episode that he hasn't been to Mini's home even if they've been going out for over a month, so it's possible that Mini tries to maintain a [[Rich Bitch]] image.
Line 880:
