That's it! The final episode of Skins with this cast is over, and it's going to be a brand new set of kids next year. After last week's shocking conclusion, this week tied up loose ends and I hoped there would be some comeuppance for a certain person... but all the spoilers lie under the cut in my recap, so check that out and let me know what you thought of the last episode! Spoilers and a recap Read more
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
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
Last night the brand new series of Skins kicked off on E4, with everyone except Effy starting a new college year. The episode focused on Thomas, played by Merveille Lukeba, and we got to know his family a little more as well as learning about their struggle since they moved from the Congo. Series four also presented us with a new remixed theme tune — check out my summary of the episode, and let Read more
So that's it, Skins series three is over and we've finished our first series with the new cast. I've grown to love this gang almost as much as the old one, have you? In last night's finale we caught up with Effy and Cook who were absent from last week's episode and found out what they'd been up to since they left Bristol following Effy's violent trip. Under the cut I have some talking points to 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
Freddie was the focus of this week's episode of Skins, where we got a closer glance at his family, and the things going on in his head. He's been the quiet, moral pretty boy so far, but I enjoyed getting an insight into his life. I can't wait to hear what you thought of this week's episode, but for now, here are some of my thoughts. We were introduced to the TV show Search for a Sexxbomb, where Read more
This week's episode of Skins focused on Pandora, after the heartbreak of possibly losing Thomas last week. In this episode she wants some fun and decides to throw a party, but for the girls only, so we're invited into her home and meet her mum (played brilliantly by Sally Phillips), but of course the boys won't stay away for too long... Here are some of my thoughts on last night's episode. I Read more
