Spike · 07-04-2008, 10:17 PM

Really liked tonights episode, I also can't believe next week will be the last episode with the current cast, I am going to miss them in series 3.

Rory · 07-04-2008, 10:18 PM

Tonight's show was good.

I hope the show doesn't stray too far off from these characters; and shame they had to get rid of Chris.

It was a bit weird. How did Cassie end up in New York? I wanted to see what happened after Chris' death. Next week looks good but sad though.

It was Cassie story and she ran away to New York. We won't know what happen after Chris death until next week. Cassie didn't see that she wasn't there and she couldn't remember even how she got to New York. She just found herself there. We only see her story and what she knows or believes.

It's seems to me the programme is about growing up, parting and moving on. Leaving the past behind. The mess we can create in while we discover who and what we are. How we fit into this thing called life.

All rather interesting really.

I cried for 15 mins after seing the trailer... i feel so sorry for Jal.
And i heard that Chris's dad dosent want any of Chris's friends to come to the funeral (not even poor Jal) so Sid and Tony nick the coffin, i have a feeling next weeks episode will be the saddest ever!

Btw heres the link to the promo for episode 10 that made me cry lol:

Christina · 09-04-2008, 10:55 AM

Im looking forward to a new cast I will miss this current cast as i have become attached to them but all good things come to an end.

Christina · 09-04-2008, 10:52 PM

I heard that the ending is really sad

MrGaryy · 10-04-2008, 12:28 AM

Cassie's ep is the best episode of skins ever!

Shaun · 10-04-2008, 02:14 AM

Just seen it.

I'm going to miss the cast. It won't be the same

~Kizwiz~ · 10-04-2008, 06:51 AM

Ok, for those of you who dont think that it will be there same next series if the same cast are not in it.

The episode last year showing Effy and her friend ended up at that toffs club house, that didnt revolve around the main cast. Granted, they were in it, but it centred around Effy. I personally thought that was a cracking episode and wanted to know more about her.

In this series, we got more about her, and once again I enjoyed watching the story line evolve around her.

Thats what the new series will do. Effy, I believe. will be on of the central characters in the next series

Arneldo · 10-04-2008, 09:29 AM

I wasn't pleased when I heard that the cast was axed, and I'm still not happy.

However, the idea that Effy will be back and be a central main figure in S3 gives me some comfort that they are aren't going too far. Like somebody else said in this topic, Effy's S2 eppy was a piolet for S3 and an introduction to Effy's life and friends (Pandora and that other guy).

I think if they are gonna use Effy like they used Tony in the last 2 series - Series 3 looks to be a cracker. I'm far more intrested in Effy then Tony. Effy has far more depth then Tony ever had - with Tony, we kinda knew were it was all gonna end up.

I'm sad that we wont get to see (or maybe not as much) Maxxie, Anwar, Sketch, Sid, Mich, Jal and Cassie anymore (And Chris, but he gone...cry,cry!).

Personally, I think that in S3, we should at least one eppy where they take a look at the lives of the previous cast. As a kind of "what they did next" thing.

Christina · 10-04-2008, 03:32 PM

I think now that they have killed off Chris then there might aswell be a new cast

the writers knew that if they killed off Chris then it wouldnt be as good i bet! If the old cast carried on in S3 it wouldnt be as good because Chris is one of the best characters in Skins. Im not too keen on Effy to be honest she didnt really entertain me as much as the others, she seems nice in real life though x

Indierock&roll · 10-04-2008, 04:19 PM

i cried for ages after chris died he was my favourate (L)

going to be really sad next week

Arneldo · 10-04-2008, 04:39 PM

From the Skins site. A small bit taken from the discription of eppy 10.

[spoil]So in the end our friends get to say their goodbyes to Chris, and to each other. And who's that coming up behind ready to take the lead? It's Effy of course.[/spoil]

It made me smile.

I dont know if anyone here watched the episode where Rachel is saying goodbye to the group to go to Paris (in Friends) i cried my eyes out at that bit and its a comedy, so you can just imagine what im going to be like when the group are going their seperate ways in Skins.

And its sad because there also splitting up in real life! x

Christina · 10-04-2008, 06:02 PM

Atm, im not really too keen on Effy i would of preffered all of the cast in series 3 (including Chris) x

Christina · 10-04-2008, 06:08 PM

A little Skins article i found:

Quote:

'Skins' creator talks finale, new series
The rumours are true. The entire Skins cast has been axed in favour of younger models (oh, what a cruel and fickle world this is, etc. etc.). This means that next week's episode - Monday, 10pm, E4 - will be the last we see of Tony, Michelle, Sid et al. Boo! It's also the last we'll see of Cassie. Hurrah! But why have the gang been ditched? What can we expect from the new breed? And WHY was Chris killed off? Skins co-creator Jamie Brittain tells all.

What can viewers expect from the final episode?
"It's all about goodbyes. It's about saying goodbye to your friends and the things you're going to leave behind. It's sort of a poem about the end of teenage life. It's a very pretty and beautiful episode."

But it's also a sad episode. What made you decide to kill off Chris?
"It seemed like it was the right thing to do. It was a very sad thing to do, and obviously for the actor it's very difficult, but we show teenage life in its good parts and bad parts. Friends do die, horrible things do happen to teenagers, and how they cope with that is really interesting. We wanted to introduce that element into the show to give it some realism."

It's been a much darker series in general though, hasn't it?
"Personally, I much preferred the second series to the first. I think it's much more sophisticated and complex. Some of the fans have said they don't like the dark side, although generally the reaction has been quite positive. The cast do come out the other side and there is still fun stuff in there. And it's funny! We try not to make it too dark."

Why did you decide to get rid of the entire cast?
"I think the decision was made when the show first began, really. It just seemed like the logical thing to do. The show is about kids aged 16 to 18 and the time they spend at college. It was kind of natural that we were going to change the cast round every two years, because it's those two years that we really focus on. We didn't really want to do a show where they all go off to university. The show's very much about teenage life and not university life."

Did the cast always know they had a limited lifespan?
"I'm not sure if they were aware of it from the start, but most of them were on two-year contracts, so they knew they were going to be there for two years for sure and beyond that was unsure. We told them as soon as we'd really decided, because we didn't know that we were going to get a second series or how certain things were going to go down. We told them around about when series two was commissioned. They were sad, but you know, it's all very exciting for them because they get to go off and do different stuff. They're all getting exciting new parts."

There have been rumours that the new series will focus on Effy and her gang, and the final scene of this series would seem to support that. Is it true?
"Obviously I don't want to reveal too much, but Effy definitely will be in series three. I don't want to say she'll be the focus or the main character, because we don't really do that, but she'll definitely be in series three and will be heavily featured, yes."

Effy has an obvious link with Tony, so does that mean the current cast could make guest appearances?
"I think it's possible, but I don't know how possible. These young guys want to move on and do different stuff and I'm not sure they'll want to be tied down to Skins. Also we're about telling stories about the individual characters. Just thinking about it, I don't know how much it would bring to these [new] characters to have Anwar or Cassie just suddenly turn up. I just can't quite see what the benefit of that would be, other than for them to say 'hi'. We haven't ruled it out but I think it's unlikely."

How's production on the new series coming along?
"Well we haven't actually been commissioned yet, as far as I know. But if we are then we'll have to begin filming in 13 weeks from now, so we've already started working on it. At the moment I'm writing episode two of the new series, which is based on a male character. It's very exciting, it's a good, fun episode."

How different will the new cast be? Will it be just new actors playing similar characters?
"Yeah, it will be quite different. Obviously people will see some similarities and that's unfortunate, but we're trying really hard to have a new, fresh, different group of people who are apart from the first lot of characters. So we've got a villainous character this time, which I'm really excited about. He's a real nasty piece of work - whilst Tony was almost the villain in the first series, now we've got this crazy, nasty character who's really good fun to write for. There's loads of interesting characters: there are going to be twins, I can say that, and also a character from Eastern Europe."

And how are the auditions going?
"We've got a website, skinslife.com, and it's all being run from there. We had an open audition in Bristol last month, which about 1500 people turned up to, and there's going to be another one in London later this month. We're giving everyone who wants to come along the chance."

Oo sounds exciting, im glad that effy will feature in series three really liked her, hope pandorra makes an appearance to

Christina · 10-04-2008, 06:18 PM

I wonder what the nasty character will be like? .. Should be interesting i think ive changed my mind about the new cast now... since Chris is dead i think they would need to get new characters in because it wouldnt be good with Chris. x
