Wow. I was speechless once I'd finished watching last night's episode of Skins — there were some fantastic performances from Kaya Scodelario, Jack O'Connell and Luke Pasqualino followed by a shock twist at the end of the show. With only one episode left with this cast — and two more series on the way with a new cast — the gang look set to go out dramatically. Check out FabUK's picks to Read more

This episode of Skins focused on Freddie, with plenty of insight into Effy's state of mind too. We even got a couple of cameos from Bez and Will Young in this week's show, the latter attempting to deliver some life lessons to his students via the lyrics of Michael Jackson. It was a dark episode with some great acting, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this one. View 5 Photos Read more

Last night's Skins focused on Jack O'Connell as Cook — who I think is the show's strongest acting talent — and gave us a lot more insight into his background. We met his selfish artist mother, his little brother and watched him as he prepared for trial after he got into a huge fight in episode three. Check out my recap of the episode, with spoilers, under the cut! View 3 Photos › Photo Read more
While last week's opening episode was about Thomas, this week on Skins we got to see into Emily's life as she dealt with her family, her Mum's still hostile reaction to her relationship with Naomi, and discovered a lie her girlfriend had told her concerning the accident at the beginning of episode one! Cook takes centre stage next week, but for this week's ep — check out my recap, take FabUK's Read more
This week's episode of Skins was rather dark and had huge consequences. I'm not sure the gang will ever be the same again, they certainly ended up even more fractured than when they started out. A party in the woods took a dramatic turn, and though the episode focused on Effy, there were changes in store for almost all of them as a result of the events that took place! Check out my talking Read more
This week's Skins focused on the mostly quiet, oddball of the group, JJ. We found out about his autism, got a glimpse into what his world and views of his friends are like, and generally got to know a little more about him and his take on the twisted goings on within the gang. Just like last week, I've compiled a list of ten talking points that you can use as a jumping off point to discuss the Read more
This week's episode of Skins focused on outspoken Naomi, her unstable home life and her relationships with her Mum, her teacher Kieran, Cook, and last but definitely not least Emily. It's student election time and both Cook and Naomi are standing for student president — Cook has enlisted JJ to help, as Freddie and him still aren't getting on, and Naomi has Emily loyally by her side. I can't Read more
