Skins is back on our screens ( Thursday on E4) and being a fan of series 1,2 and 3 I will watch it The new series has a completely new cast which is a good thing, because last series became too dark and soapy and killing off Freddy was a bad decision. I’d preferred it if they’d killed off Effy –as she has been a right pain in the arse and one of Skins’ most unlikeable characters.
