Where do you want to see Skins Series 4 go? [open thread]

So the series four ideas are currently being thrown around and some storylines are being written at the moment. However series 3 brought a lot of mixed views to the table so we’re throwing this post open to see what you liked about this series, what you didn’t and what you’d have changed in the organisation/layout of the overall story and each character’s own personal development?

We’re not going to approve posts that just say shit like “ZOMG I LUVD EFFY CAUSE HER FASHION WAS AMAZING!”, we’re looking for interesting, thought provoking views.

It’s also worth mentioning that I know for a fact the Skins cast and crew do read this blog so who knows, maybe something you write may be implemented

‘Skins’ actor embraces female attention:

Skins star Luke Pasqualino has revealed that he is thrilled by his new sex symbol status.

The 20-year-old actor, who plays Freddie Mclair on the Channel 4 drama series, has been bombarded with messages from female admirers since his debut episode aired earlier this year.

Speaking to Celebs On Sunday magazine, Pasqualino admitted: “It’s great being a heartthrob, thank you very much. It’s good, it’s weird. I’ve been acting for a few years, but now this is different.

“I’ve had lots of attention, fan letters through the door, and Facebook has gone through the roof with messages and friend requests. I keep pictures that girls send me. And I hope to have a lot more soon.”

Pasqualino also confirmed that he is keen to follow in the footsteps of Dev Patel, who landed a lead role in Slumdog Millionaire after finding fame in Skins.

He explained: “It happened to him so quickly. But does lightning strike twice? I guess it could happen.”

‘Skins’ duo in real life relationship?

Tabloid reports have claimed that Skins stars Kaya Scodelario and Jack O’Connell are in a relationship.

According to The Sun, the teenage actors began romancing after growing close on set.

Scodelario (Effy), 17, and O’Connell (Cook), 18, shared romantic scenes in the E4 drama, on which their characters are involved in a love triangle with Freddie, played by Luke Pasqualino.

“They are a really sweet couple,” said a source. “It took a while for them to get together but while filming such risqué scenes they grew close.

“They are trying to persuade scriptwriters to get their characters back together.”
