\'Skins\' cast axed....again.
 
Quote:

After the first two series of Skins, the producers made the shock decision to axe the entire cast while they were still in their prime (RIP Chris, so long Tony, etc.)

Now, with filming on the fourth series getting underway in Bristol, TT has learned that 'The Gang 2.0' have also been given their marching orders. This will clear the way for another new cast of youths should Skins be recommissioned for its fifth series in 2011.

I'm not surprised but I'm still gutted. I love 2.0 so much more than the originals. They better make the 4th series amaazing.

Bloody hell not again.i'm a fan of the first lot

It was obvious this was going to happen but for a show like Skins I think it's a good idea. It injects fresh life into the show and hopefully means that it can continue for many years to come.

i prefered the first 2 series... 3rd one was rubbish, just couldnt get into it at all

Indierock&roll 20-07-2009 03:17 PM

they hae to change it because its based on the 2 years at college
oooh i want to be in the 5th series

old cast are so much better though , although i do heart freddie cook and jj
but the old cast seemed more realistic to me, and i miss chris, cassie, sid and tony oh so much
always liked effy too

cassie seriously needs to make a comeback! i miss her

Captain.Remy 20-07-2009 04:47 PM

NO WAYYY ! I loved series 3 !

Edit: Feeling stupid now, I haven't seen it was for 2011. :hugesmile:

Billy 20-07-2009 04:48 PM

No-one will ever beat Cassie <3

Arneldo 20-07-2009 04:49 PM

Maxxie > All of series 3 cast.

Rory 20-07-2009 04:50 PM

Oh well, it was expected that each cast would run for 2 series and then leave.

Fom 20-07-2009 04:51 PM

Makes sense as Skins follows the college life and it is only 2 years. Every 2 years they change it about.

Marc 20-07-2009 04:53 PM

Really? that sucks! I was starting to like them!

Jayson 20-07-2009 04:59 PM

I expected it.

Tom4784 20-07-2009 05:02 PM

It's not surprising, the Producers made it clear that each cast would only last two series.

It could work better if they focused on first years and second years (so two different groups in one series) and move them up a year, get rid of them when they're in their second year and bring in a new group each year. it would be safer than getting rid every 2 years because if they keep doing that, one series its going to go tits up

I've never really been that big on it though tbh

Its possibly just coz i was younger when the 1st generation happened and then clicked with the 2nd but i just prefer most of the recent characters.

Yeh thats a good point, but then you have the task of following 2 different groups. As 1st years and 2nd years don't usually get along haha.

What a bad decision

I think series 5 should have been made up off some Originals and some off the newer cast

TheOfficialAdam 20-07-2009 06:54 PM

I hope cook never comes back ever

BGT-FAN! 20-07-2009 07:01 PM

Yeah,
They Said they would renew the cast after every 2 series

BGT-FAN! 20-07-2009 07:02 PM

I prefer the new cast much better and the plots are better in series 3

superfanno1 20-07-2009 07:02 PM

Who cares...it's crap compared to the Inbetweeners.

amy-jayne 21-07-2009 01:32 PM

This is a really stupid decision, all skins fan (including myself) weren't happy when the original cast were axed, then everyone got used to the idea and watched the series 3 and warmed to all the new cast, and now we've got to do that same again :nono:
Don't think I'll bother watched series 5 then, if the axing goes ahead, unless one or 2 original faces are kept on
