Frederick "Freddie" Roscoe is a fictional character from the Channel 4 soap opera, Hollyoaks. He is played by Charlie Clapham, and made his first screen appearance on 6 May 2013. Freddie’s notable storylines have including murdering his stepfather Fraser Black (Jesse Birdsall), his affair with and eventual marriage to his brother's fiancée Lindsey Butterfield (Sophie Austin), Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) and Sinead O'Connor (Stephanie Davis), his feud with his brother Joe Roscoe (Ayden Callaghan), being framed for the "murder" of Mercedes by Grace Black (Tamara Wall), nearly being murdered by his second wife Lindsey, his on/off relationships with mother and daughter Marnie (Lysette Anthony) and Ellie Nightingale (Sophie Porley), having a daughter named Lexi with Lindsey and allowing Joe and Mercedes to adopt Lexi.
Clapham has proved popular with some critics and the public that he has been nominated for "Sexiest Male", "Best Actor" and more. In the episode broadcast on 12 April 2017, it was announced that Clapham would be leaving the role of Freddie when the credits at the end of the episode read "Goodbye Freddie Roscoe", thus hinting the character's imminent departure.
Freddie arrives in the village in search for a business to buy and a place to live by his mother's orders. However, he finds his younger brother, Robbie (Charlie Wernham), stealing money from his principal Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield). He makes Robbie give the money back and apologize for his actions. Later on, Freddie hits on a vulnerable Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson) which leads them to sleeping with each other. After teaming up with Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) in trying to stop an ambulance and steal medical supplies for Doctor Browning (Joseph Thompson), Freddie ends up getting stabbed but survives and Trevor Royle (Greg Wood) threatens him. When Trevor murders Richie Trent (Michael Dixon), he asks Freddie to dispose the body.
