Tony appears to be a very handsome, popular and academically gifted young man, with a typical English middle - class background. He plays cruel games with his family and friends, in particular those closest to him, his girlfriend Michelle ( April Pearson ) and best friend Sid ( Mike Bailey ). In `` Sid '', he displays his love for `` control and manipulation '' and fondness for the unpredictability of the universe, comparing the lives of those around to him to the functions of subatomic particles. In the Unseen Skins episode `` The Cat & The Duck '', Michelle characterises Tony as like ice, `` cold and transparent. '' Tony 's sexual encounters are supposedly vast. In `` Michelle '', Jal Fazer ( Larissa Wilson ) is able to recall a long list of his conquests. Michelle later puts to Abigail Stock ( Georgina Moffat ) that he `` fucks everyone... including boys. '' In `` Maxxie & Anwar '', Tony attempts an oral tryst with his gay friend Maxxie ( Mitch Hewer ). Tony does not specify a sexual orientation but he says to Maxxie that he simply wants `` to try something new ''. In a psychology lesson, he equates sex with power and his lust for both is portrayed in his presentation. An aspect of his subconscious ( portrayed as a college headmaster ) refers to him as `` polysexual '', in series two 's `` Tony '' episode. Bryan Elsley characterizes Tony 's attempt to seduce Maxxie as an exploration of the character 's sexual fluidity ; in season one of the American adaptation, Maxxie 's character is replaced by the character Tea ( Sofia Black D'Elia ), and her sexual fluidity is substituted for Tony 's. In the British series, Tony fits the older television and film archetype of the `` narcissistic, controlling, and stereotypically sociopathic ' bad bisexual ' ''. Tony 's reading habits give insight into his personality. In `` Tony '', the book he reads in the bathroom is La Nausée by Jean - Paul Sartre, a novel about existentialism and defining oneself. In `` Sid '', he is shown reading Friedrich Nietzsche 's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, a book which challenges existing moral values. In `` Maxxie and Anwar '' he reads Jeanette Winterson 's Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, a book about a young girl struggling with her homosexuality.

Tony also begins a flirtatious relationship with local rich girl Abigail, which develops in `` Jal '' when he is spotted kissing her by Jal, and later in `` Sid '' where he uses her to break up with Michelle, claiming that he is doing it for Sid, to give him an opportunity to pursue his crush, only to get back with her in an attempt to emotionally damage Sid and Michelle. In `` Maxxie and Anwar '', on a school trip to Russia he aggressively and persistently tries to perform oral sex on his gay friend Maxxie, only to find he is bad at it. Michelle witnesses this and is shocked, and believing he could be in the closet, probes him to reveal any secrets he may be carrying.

After Michelle starts a relationship with Abigail 's brother, Josh, Tony then schemes to get her back.

Michelle is left staring at her phone as, elsewhere, Effy holds his bleeding body in shock, and the episode ends with Tony 's status unclear.

This is followed by Tony 's video, in which he awakes from his coma while listening to a tape of the gang telling rude and shocking stories to try to shock him into consciousness. Series 2 In `` Tony and Maxxie '', the first episode of Series 2, Tony is shown to be physically and mentally changed by his accident, after suffering from a subdural hematoma. He has shown to have lost most of his characteristic wit and confidence that was present in series 1. In a conversation with Maxxie 's mum he states that `` I 'm stupid now '' and on a bus he holds Maxxie 's hand for security after a bus drives past. Having lost the ability to write among other disabilities, he finally manages to scribble his name by `` dancing '' his way through, with guidance from Maxxie. In `` Sketch '', Tony starts to show visible signs of his previous affection for Michelle, but the consequences of his accident keep the relationship from working. Their brief sexual encounter reveals to Tony and the audience he has been rendered impotent as a result of the accident. Later on -- he actively searches for her after the School Play when Michelle does not appear as a result of Sketch ( Aimee - Ffion Edwards ) having poisoned her. He tells Michelle that he thinks he told her that he loved her the night of his accident, however the conclusion is left on a slightly ambiguous note on whether or not he was guessing.

In `` Michelle '', Michelle perseveres with Tony and attempts to seduce him despite the protests of Mrs. Stonem, Tony 's mother. However Michelle 's attempts fail with Tony still showing visible sexual difficulty, Michelle gets upset that Tony is still not ' better for her ' -- and leaves, stressing that she needs more time. Tony decides not to accompany the rest of the group on Michelle 's birthday holiday but still gets her a present. After Michelle has had sex with Sid on the beach she finds that the birthday present is her watch that he was wearing at the time of his accident, with a note from Tony reading ' You said you needed some time '. In `` Chris '', Tony has started learning to swim again. He is seen in the pool with his father with a beginner 's swimming group. He speaks to Chris ( Joe Dempsie ) afterwards proclaiming that he will ' Get everything back again ' and that 's including Michelle. He shows visible disgust and anger when finding out Sid and Michelle have become a couple. In `` Tony '', Tony is shown attempting to return to his own lifestyle, which translates into going to clubs and taking drugs. After Cassie gives Tony an ecstasy pill, Tony confronts Sid and Michelle ( who are now in a full - blown sexual relationship ) expressing his sarcasm at how happy he is for them. Straight after this -- he begins to react badly from the drugs and has a panic attack in the toilets. A mysterious girl approaches him and reveals details about Tony 's life despite her being a stranger. On the train ride up to a university open day -- Tony is approached by a man who has visible horrific burns. The man tells Tony the story of how he came to be disfigured. Later on Tony attends an open day at University where he is in group interview with the same ( now unscathed ) man he met on the train. The mysterious girl is also at the meeting and verbally attacks the head of the university. After being ejected from the interview, Tony and the girl embark on many misdemeanors throughout the course of the day. It slowly becomes apparent to the viewer that the girl may be a figment of Tony 's imagination -- for example when the girl encourages ( and successfully teaches ) Tony how to swim, he is found alone in the pool.

Nonetheless, they part on good terms. Post-series 2 At the beginning of Series 3, Effy has moved into Tony 's room and has given his signature duvet to Oxfam. Katie also mentions Tony and his popularity in one of her first conversations with Effy saying `` Did n't you have a brother who was really cool and went mental, my friends fancied him ''. In Effy 's episode, she is on the phone trying to get an ambulance to the woods, and it is speculated that it was Tony she was talking to. In Effy 's video diary ( which takes place after the events of her episode ), Effy pleads with Tony for help, also asking him not to shout at her again. She also pleads with him not to `` do anything '' to Cook, suggesting Tony has made threats. In Series 4, Tony 's picture is one of the photos present on Effy 's wall, shown to be connected to Freddie 's picture along with the other members of Effy 's family. In `` Effy '', where Effy is receiving treatment in a psychiatric hospital, the incident where Tony was run over is shown to have profoundly damaged her. One of the Skins writers suggested that prior to Skins : Fire, Effy had moved to London to live with Tony, and they lived together for a while before Tony left with Michelle to which Effy ended up flatting with Naomi. Analysis Writer Russell T Davies opines that Tony belongs to the same character archetype as his earlier Stuart Alan Jones, on Queer as Folk in being an unlikable character with whom audiences fail to connect, `` because there 's barely any recognition. Tony is n't believable. '' Unlike Davies ' character, Tony 's narrative thrust is one towards being brought down, to suffer, and to show the audience that Tony 's behaviour is wrong ; to do this, `` They had to mow him down in the finale to make us care !
