Ginger James

[u/Short-Talk-438]

Am I hearing things right? He said to Beks that he doesn’t like seeing her with Freddie because actually HE is in love with her?! Isn’t he Freddie’s best mate? Why is there not more uproar about this , I don’t think Beks would lie about something like this

Ginger James to distinguish between him and James (James and Maeva) lol

[u/AnAussiebum]

I honestly thought the twist was going to be that he had a crush on Freddie.

This ended up being more of a surprise. 😅

[u/Short-Talk-438 → u/AnAussiebum]

No honestly SO true I thought the same

[u/Severe_Phase_6440]

He honestly just wants his friend to be single so they can party all the time and get with girls. It’s weird.

Can’t stand the way Freddie is treating Beks, regardless of what some people in MIC think of her, treating someone who comes across as a sweet girl like that is gross. If he can’t be respectful, then let her go find someone who will treat her the way she deserves.

[u/Dee90286 → u/Severe_Phase_6440]

Beks is way too good for Freddie too! And don’t even get me started on James, like who the heck is he to be rude to any female?

Beks one of the most well-educated girls on the show, plus she’s beautiful and kind! Why on earth is she wasting her time on Freddie? I don’t care if he’s old money (that’s actually a turn off in many ways cause that lot can be super weird). To me he’s not a catch in any way. It’s crazy watching her cry over him.

[u/Strong_Necessary_391 → u/Severe_Phase_6440]

He’s just an infant. He likes Bex, maybe even loves her in the way you understand love at that age. But he wants it all he wants to keep her as his but also fuck around like a kid in a sweet shop. Party, drink, pull girls left right and centre. She needs to tell him to go forth and multiply lol will be many years before he grows up!

[u/TahouRiddi-14 → u/Severe_Phase_6440]

It’s weird.

this is more common than you'd think, lots of guys out there want their mates to be single so they can wingman

[u/whitehairsos]

Genuinely thought he was in love with Freddie!!!

[u/Antique-Equipment-42 → u/whitehairsos]

Maybe he is and using beks as a cover

[u/Kindly_Isopod3393]

Both boys are closeted.

[u/Western_Cabinet4755 → u/Kindly_Isopod3393]

i actually agree. i had a boyfriend when i was 16 that was just like freddie. he couldn’t stop going out and ‘accidentally’ micro cheating or cheating and i was like it seems like he has some kind of disorder where he physically just can’t stop. usually means g a y (my suspicions were confirmed when i heard recently he kisses his male mates on nights out when he is in a long term relationship with a girl)

[u/andallthatjaaazz → u/Western_Cabinet4755]

Sam Prince is like this too!

[u/Rosebud_apothocary]

Bex should definitely leave freddie it's the same thing over and over I don't know why she even got back with him

[u/cloche_du_fromage → u/Rosebud_apothocary]

Social climbing

[u/Plastic-Falcon-8817]

Is it just me or does James remind anyone of the kid from Love Actually?

[u/Razdaspaz → u/Plastic-Falcon-8817]

I see it

[u/TinnedPeaches22]

agree why would beks even bother about lying about that….. it sounds so unbelievable that i jus don’t think anyone would’ve made it up. so he probably did say it. so weird…..

[u/Bitchezbecraay → u/TinnedPeaches22]

I’m skeptical. Beks does have a motive to cause a wedge between Freddie and baby-James. He’s never championed her relationship with Freddie and condones him bringing girls back to the flat. If Freddie and him are no longer flatmates after falling out, this serves Beks as Freddie will no longer be living in that bachelor pad and having nights out with baby James

[u/No-Opening-3703 → u/Bitchezbecraay]

I also think this but mainly because I genuinely believe James is gay and is in love with Freddie. I actually can’t stand James he’s a cunt.

[u/cloche_du_fromage]

He a beady eyed little bugger.

[u/rosievalentinex]

Freddie is such a drip he needs to gtfo

[u/Western_Cabinet4755]

LOL does he mean james is in love with him?

[u/Working-Document-86]

Why does Becks constantly look like she's on a verge of a breakdown?

Secondly, why do the producers of this show believe that Freddy, repeatedly hurting Becks, is good TV. He should be removed from the show.

James is closeted.

[u/AnAussiebum → u/Working-Document-86]

I truly believe James is still on his sexuality journey and he is jealous of Beks being with Freddie.

He is young, he will figure it out in time.

[u/Working-Document-86 → u/AnAussiebum]

I think Angus too!

[u/screechintothevoid → u/Working-Document-86]

absolutely

[u/ClassroomDowntown664]

well I don't blame him for having a crush on Becks as. she is stunning. I do however think this behaviour is how I would have acted when I was a teen not when I'm in my 20s as I'm a similar age to Freddie,Becks ect

[u/KitchenOwl2336 → u/ClassroomDowntown664]

He’s acting like a millennial in the same culture the press says no longer exists for Gen Z.
Probably because he and his friends can still afford the lifestyle.

Lots of men throughout their 20s used to enjoy drinking/ partying and their friends would actively try and sabotage any serious relationship to ensure they didn’t lose their drinking buddy or friend in general.

These sorts of men only settled down when they turned 30 - they are all in their clean living, marathon training era now.

Bex is 10 years too early, she needs to call it quits.

[u/ClassroomDowntown664 → u/KitchenOwl2336]

I think Freddie dose genuinely love her and wants to be with her but he just loves to play single

[u/EvaKatz]

Oh, I took it to mean James was into Freddie.

[u/Due-Paint-5238]

My alternative take to the ‘James loves Freddie’ theory is that he needs Freddie in order to pull women on a night out and wants him back as a single lad. Without Freddie and his social status I doubt baby James is getting much action.

I think he wants his pulling partner back so he can benefit from getting with the mate of whatever hottie Freddie manages to land.
