Hey what's up? I'm Daphne. I work for BBC America and with the permission of The Architect, I'm here to open an official discussion thread for the brit-teen crossover Skins.

For those unfamiliar with the show, it follows a wild and diverse group of teens (including Nicholas Hoult, About a Boy) in Bristol torn between growing up and being kids, some are actually calling it "Dawson's Creek on speed!" And though it's written by teens (most under age 22), it's geared toward mature audiences so adults will be into it. Forget about the moral lesson at the end, this ain't the Cosby show folks! Instead the show allows viewers to think for themselves through an unbiased portrayal that's very realistic to actual youth today.


My favorite character so far is Cassie, the eccentric blond girl with an eating disorder and history of drug abuse - she's craaaaazy but I love that little space cadet! You can check out all the character bios and cast interviews at the website (http://bbcamerica.com/skins) and the youtube page (http://www.youtube.com/skinsbbcamerica).


The show airs this Sunday the 17th on BBC America at 9pm/8c. If you watch, let's discuss! Who do you love/hate/love to hate?

Hey? Anyone catch the two-part US premiere last weekend? If not, you can still tune in Sundays at 10/9c and play catch up!


Got some cute cast pics on the Skins flickr page: Flickr: skinsbbcamerica's Photostream

Check out the wallpaper + avatar too! Enjoy

I missed both shows how was it? What happened? Hopefully I catch it next time it runs

They re-ran Cassie's episode this week, which is cool by me since she's my fav! haha... They also aired the new third episode for Jal. Sid gets in serious trouble with Madison Twatter (the drug dealer), Jal gears up for a concert performance with lots of trouble along the way, Cassie continues to hallucinate, lol... They will re-run Jal next week before airing the new one for Chris!! Chris's episode is one of my favorites, so let me know if you watch it and tell me what you think

Also, is anyone on Twitter? You can follow Skins and let us know what you're up to, or participate with other fans by exchanging comments during live episode discussions! It's all here: Twitter / skinsbbcamerica

I also just wanted to share one of my favorite clips from the premiere in case you missed it (or just want to watch it again!)...


hahaha...

Here’s a clip from this weekend’s upcoming episode:
You can also check out the Chris Playlist on YouTube for more interviews with Joseph Dempsie, and then see what the other cast members have to say about his character!

Posted a new video today!
Nicholas Hoult and Joseph Dempsie talk about Tony's philosophy...


Despite being the little manipulator, I love his character... misguided, but still really smart and clever. And it's so weird seeing him all grown up from his earlier days as the kid on About A Boy, haha... what do you think about him?

If you haven't seen this yet, take a look
