Slaggis Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Getting rid of all the original cast members for series 3 Original cast members April Pearson, Mike Bailey, Hannah Murray, Joe Dempsie, Larissa Wilson, Mitch Hewer and Dev Patel will not have their contract renewed So, they're just starting all over again basically. (Then again, just take this with a little pinch of salt considering the source, Wiki) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platty Posted March 29, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Problematique Posted March 29, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caris Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I really do doubt it will be as good as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaggis Posted April 7, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platty Posted April 7, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaggis Posted April 7, 2008 Share 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.

Paj! Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Though I don't watch it, that curly-haired girl's nose pissed me off. Glad she's going. Like some victim of a savage attack by a penguin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chairdriver Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I just generally love the music in Skins. Was the song at the end sung by Cat Power? I need to obtain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
