Abigail Stock commonly known as Abbie, is a fictional character in the television series Skins. She is played by Georgina Moffat.
[edit] Characterisation
Abigail is a posh school girl with psychotic tendencies. She was Tony Stonem's mistress. Like her brother, Josh Stock, she is psychoanalysed and medicated by her mother with whom she seems to have a strained relationship. She displays an incredible suppressed rage and desire to be liked. Her wealth comes with arrogance, and she refers to Tony's girlfriend disparagingly as a "chav", a characterization which Michelle does not fit. Her personality can be erratic, though a lot of the time she can seem very conceited, supercilious and self-assured. She has developed a huge infatuation with Tony, and finds herself willing to do anything he asks. At her party in episode 1, she introduces her friends as Sara, Josh, Sara, Maddie, Felicia, Hugo, Sebastian, Sara, Sam and Sara.
[edit] Character history
In "Tony", she meets Tony at a choir rehearsal at her school where he is singing, and invites him and his friends to her party. She reappears in "Jal", seen kissing Tony who is in a relationship with Michelle at the time. In "Sid", she publicly makes out with Tony at a concert so Michelle would see. Michelle finds her, with Tony holding her breasts, and confronts her. Abigail explodes and angrily spews "I'll kill you, you fucking flat-chested, cock-sucking, spastic horse fucker!", to which Sid replies, "Good swearing!"
In "Michelle", after breaking up with Tony over his infidelity with Maxxie, Michelle comes to confront Abigail about it. Abigail's brother, Josh, restrains her and eventually begins a short-lived relationship with Michelle. Angry, Tony asks Abigail to pose naked for him, which she does willingly. He then sends the pictures of Abi to Michelle using Josh's phone, freaking her out.
In "Tony and Maxxie", Abigail meets Tony outside a rave. She is obviously still attracted to Tony and tries to remind him of their former relations, but he can't place her at all. In "Sketch", she is seen exploiting Tony's amnesia - telling him that they are boyfriend and girlfriend. She attends a party with Tony dressed as Princess Leia while he is Luke Skywalker. This riles Michelle because she is also dressed as Princess Leia, and was hoping Tony would show her attention. Anwar comments that they clearly haven't seen Star Wars, and don't know that Luke and Leia are siblings. Abigail also shows up to the school musical, and sits with Tony.
Abigail's manipulative hold on Tony is broken in "Sid" however, when Sid tells Tony that she has been lying to him and that they're not boyfriend and girlfriend. Sid tells her to "fuck off," and Abigail tries to entice Tony by reminding him that she has nipples like "creme caramels." Tony sides with Sid, and Abigail storms off, telling Sid that she'll "be back."
