Skins series 7 who is returning

She single-handedly provided a lot of drama back then, with mental illness, drug abuse and a deadly love triangle, but now she works at a hedge fund which is pretty boring TV. Seriously, she makes tea and then she learns more about the business, then gets insider advice from someone who has a crush on her, then gets a promotion, then gets together with the boss? That was touching, dramatic and interesting; all the things you expect Skins should be.

Side note- what relevance do these subtitles even have?! I have already seen some feminist observations of these two episodes pointing out the fact that Cassie spends most of the episodes being focused on for her looks before having to take up a maternal role towards her young brother as her dad is incapable of looking after him. Think of this what you will; it is a valid point, but I still think the biggest problem with Skins Pure is that it is just boring. Cassie spends a lot of time gazing into the distance.

She often refuses to engage properly in a conversation. A lot of the plot revolves around taking pictures so the camera often acts as if it is in slower time too, but that trick gets old when you use it constantly. The first episode is a look at the Manchester drug and party scene, and how dangerous it can actually be to get mixed up with the wrong people; Cook finally figures this out at the end.

The second is more of a low budget thriller, as the characters first hide out in a country house and then run around in the woods as gunshots go off. Skins was never the best TV show in the world, but it provided teenagers with a glimpse into the darker world that they should probably stay away from, all channelled through compelling and relatable characters. Although the first two thirds of series seven were more miss than hit and even generation three was often slated , it feels appropriate that the whole thing finished with Cook renouncing his young, reckless self by making a mature, selfless decision in a critical moment.

Cassie has overcome her mental issues, but has become solitary, serious, principled and tired, and Cook has become much more subdued, serious and calculated, as a result of having spent years on the run.

In addition, the series leaves behind its traditional setting in Bristol, moving to London where Effy, Cassie and Naomi now live, as well as Manchester where Cook now lives. Its subject matter moves on from teenage problems to more adult issues, such as insider trading, terminal illness, rough living and the criminal underworld. On 8 March , Channel 4 confirmed that Skins would come to an end after a seventh series of six episodes, which would feature characters from the first and second generations.

The third generation would not be involved in the seventh series. Channel 4 promised "a celebration of this truly iconic series". Jamie Brittain, who had quit the show after series 5, returned as part of the writing staff. Brittain also revealed via Twitter that filming would begin in late October. Series seven marked a departure in style with former stars Hannah Murray , Jack O'Connell and Kaya Scodelario returning to the roles which had shaped their careers in three individual stories, each one broadcast in two one-hour parts.

Each two-part episode centres on the characters now in their early twenties. Effy, now aged 21, is working a dead-end job as a receptionist for a leading London hedge fund and lives in a flat in Canary Wharf with Naomi Campbell, who is an aspiring stand-up comedian, while Emily is currently in New York on a lucrative internship.
