Alex (by Sam Jackson)

Alex

"Alex is at first very mysterious - I think he comes across as quite elusive and you're not really sure what he's all about. He's very charismatic and confident in himself and is very flirty; he flirts with both genders, and doesn't care. He comes into the series at a point where the gang are a bit down, they're very unhappy and he finds it difficult to make friends with them. They don't really like accepting someone new but he manages to befriend Liv who takes a shine to him and you see their friendship develop. Eventually he gets into the gang, bringing them some much needed excitement and energy.

I'm the new boy so meeting the gang at first was a bit nerve-racking. I felt a lot of pressure joining because I watched the last series, so seeing all the guys on screen and then meeting them and actually joining them, then working with them was a bit scary. But the guys are brilliant and have really looked after me."

    Great character. Especially liking the way he gambles his decisions. Might try it one time and see how it goes. Great portrayal of a gay character too. Probably one of the best characters in the show and its only one episode. Cant wait to see more :)

    Exactly the sort of person the show needs. A quirky but incredibly subtle character - the better part of Tony's personality, Maxxie's looks and JJ's lovability.

    I should have guessed he was gay at the start, but it only clicked when he showed no sign of fancying Liv. Was well happy. About time Skins had another gay male. And as cute as Maxie too.
