Freddie happily skates around, smoking weed with his mates, and staying cool. He has problems taming his crazy friend Cook, who is not afraid to do anything. His other best friend JJ is an integral part of their friendship, as he acts as a mediator whenever there is a fight between Cook and Freddie. At other times, however, Freddie is forced to act as the leader of the group whenever JJ has a panic attack or when Cook takes things too far; he is by far the most reliable in a crisis. In any other situation, Freddie is often the first to give up, but usually bounces back with a nudge from either of his best friends. His best friends are James Cook and JJ, which is why they call each other ''The Three Musketeers'' because they are so close, he cares a lot about others. He tries to control Cook when he sometimes gets out of control and helps his friend JJ deal with his Asperger's disease. In the third series, Freddie's relationship with his family is strained due to his sister Karen attempting to use their mother's death in order to become famous. However, in the fourth series, he and Karen are much closer, having resolved all their differences.

In "Everyone", Cook, Freddie and JJ vie for Effy's attention after meeting her the morning before college starts. Freddie attempts to draw Effy's interest simply by chatting with her, but he has nothing thus far to distinguish himself to the mysterious, worldly Effy and is rebuffed gently. Effy sets Cook and Freddie a challenge, whoever breaks the college rules gets to “know her better”. Cook breaks the rules, in the process starting a fire. His reward is sex with Effy in the nurse’s office. In "Cook", Freddie gets a call from Karen who is at her friend, Kayleigh’s, engagement party. Cook rounds the gang up and they head over there uninvited. Freddie eventually ditches his friends, disgusted with Cook's unwillingness to tame his wild behavior; while initially disdainful in response, by the end of the episode Cook promises to try and rein it in a little. Freddie also learns, to his dismay, that Effy and Cook are now in a relationship. In "Pandora", Freddie arrives at Pandora's pajama party (which has been crashed by Katie's boyfriend and an army of his beer- swigging friends) to collect JJ, who has been abandoned by Cook and gone into another panic attack. As Freddie prepares to take his friend home, Effy comes after him, asking him to stay. Freddie angrily berates her for leaving JJ unattended; when she replies that she thought Cook was his friend, he sarcastically replies "I think Cook's your friend, isn't he?" Effy apologizes for her behavior, explaining her parents' sepparation and her subsequent trashing; while Freddie offers his sympathy, he refuses to stick around, which visibly upsets Effy. In "Freddie", Freddie, watches as Karen reaches the final of a TV talent show to find a new member of fictional girl group Da Sexxbombz. He is forced to go along with the dramatic story she and their father are spinning about their supposed dedication to his deceased mother, all to look good in front of the cameras.

If this was not bad enough, living in the shadow of the increasingly reckless Cook, is becoming too much to bear. Effy arrives in Freddie's garden and asks to be allowed into his shed. Inside, the two share a spliff, but are quickly interrupted by the arrival of Cook and JJ. When Cook invites Effy to leave to have sex with him, she sarcastically rebuffs him, causing him to angrily insist that she leave. Afterward, as Freddie returns a bracelet to her, he suggests that they would be "good together". Effy denies this by claiming she would break his heart. Freddie later becomes furious when his father clears out his shed for Karen to use as a practice room; he deliberately makes the interview look as poorly as possible. He reluctantly joins Cook and JJ at Keith's bar, and Cook discusses how they should get revenge on Karen for stealing the shed. JJ accidentally reveals that Cook once had sex with her, enraging Freddie. When he confronts Karen and his father over it and drives her out of the shed in tears, his father strikes him, telling him that at least she is committing to something and that he needs to do more than just 'skate around'. The next day, after going through his usual rounds of skateboarding and spliff, Freddie realizes that his father has a point. He seeks out Effy at the water-park, where she is escaping from her turbulent home situation. The two share a passionate kiss mid-water, where Freddie tells her how he feels about her. By the evening he attends his sister's final performance with his dad, but she loses by fifteen votes; back at home, he makes honest attempts to comfort her until Cook and JJ show up. Cook reveals that he got fifteen people from Keith's pub to vote against her as revenge for the shed.

Unexpectedly, Freddie lashes out in rage at the attack on his family, headbutting Cook and making it clear their friendship is over. Cook, who had previously characterized Freddie as the most reserved of the group, is shocked by this; he tells Freddie he loves him and leaves, smashing the Mclair family photo on his way out. Freddie finally goes to see Effy again; however, Effy has returned to Cook. Freddie watches from below her window as Cook steps up behind her and smirks at him; he then leaves angrily. His bitterness is evident in 'Naomi' when Naomi questions him about whether he told Effy about his feelings, as she had suggested; on at least two occasions, Effy notices him staring at her resentfully. In "JJ", JJ tries to convince Freddie and Cook to talk to each other, but to no avail. Convinced that Effy does not truly recipherocate his feelings, Freddie has started a romantic relationship with Katie Fitch. Freddie blames JJ for Cook starting a brawl at the nightclub they went to, as JJ gave him drugs; however, the drugs cause Cook to tell the truth, and he admits that, while she is still in a sexual relationship with Cook, Effy loves Freddie. Freddie is visibly shocked by this revelation. In "Effy", he continues his sexual relationship with Katie, to Effy's jealousy. Later, at the gang's camping trip, he seems to grow distant from Katie, with both Effy and Katie noticing; by contrast, nothing happens between him and Effy, but under the effect of the shrooms she found they seem to grow closer. Unknown to him, Katie confronts Effy (who is experiencing a bad trip) and after a fight, Katie gets knocked unconscious. Afterwards, Effy wanders back to the campsite when she runs into Freddie. After a few tense moments, they have sex for the first time. Eventually, Katie is found and taken to hospital, where Freddie — among others — learns that Effy hit Katie (but not the reasons why), thus turning him against Effy for thinking she attacked Katie without merit.

In "Katie and Emily", The twins run into Freddie and JJ Jones while trying on dresses. JJ reveals to Emily that he told Freddie that he had sex with her, and Freddie inadvertently tells Katie, who was unaware of this. She guilts Freddie into accompanying her to the ball and volunteers Emily to go with JJ. Freddie spends much of the episode trying to calm a panicked JJ down. In "Finale", Freddie and JJ are working at a pawnshop, but JJ becomes sick of Freddie's constant weed-smoking and gloom. Meanwhile, Effy grows worried for Cook when she sees how his father manipulates him, prompting her to call Freddie for help — and telling him that she loves him shortly before hanging up. Freddie repeatedly seems uncertain and on the verge of giving up his attempts to find her until JJ goads him on. When Freddie and JJ arrive, Cook impulsively decide sthat the fate of the boys' relationships with Effy should be decided by the small town's race. JJ, who (unexectedly) wins the race, takes charge and demands that they solve their problems once and for all, forcing both boys to admit that they each love Effy and telling her that she must choose between them. Although Effy doesn't say anything, her "look says it all" when her gaze lingers over Freddie, prompting Cook to leave in a fury. When Freddie and Effy are alone, they makeup and have sex. The following morning Effy, Freddie, Cook, and JJ begin their journey home. Freddie tries to keep his friendship with Cook intact by begging him to say it's ok, but Cook reluctantly refuses. Nonetheless, Freddie defends Cook against his abusive father to the point of knocking him out, and comforts him afterwards.
