Posted March 29, 2008 seems to be confirmed: The executive producer of Skins has confirmed its entire cast will change for the next series. Bryan Elsey said: "There are risks associated with dumping a cast, but we just did it. There was some disquiet at the channel, but then they told us just to go with it. "It's exciting - we never stand still and we can tell our stories in a new way." Speaking at Broadcast's television drama conference this week, he also confirmed the show would stick to its pattern of introducing college-age characters, moving them on in the next series, then letting them go. "The first year is about getting to know the kids, and the second gives us the advantage of being able to explore their psyches a little more," said Elsey. The show will also continue to use a team of up to 20 writers, including newcomers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 29, 2008 It's crap but strangely compelling. Thing is I always feel a little unfulfilled after watching it because nothing really happens or so it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 7, 2008 I really do doubt it will be as good as it is now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2008 I really do doubt it will be as good as it is now. Why? The exact same thing but with different characters, how could it not be? I thought the same thing when they said they were getting rid of everyone, but I'm over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2008 Because Shell won't be in it. But now she can go on to do bigger and better things.......or not. But yeah I think a freshen up in the cast will be a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2008 Because Shell won't be in it. You realise the characters will probably be basically the same, just different looking. It'll just be like they've changed appearence and got younger again. I swear by the second episode of the new series you'll be saying "Who's Shell?". R.I.P Cassie! - She's awesome.
