Anyone Writing to SKINS Do not Bother!

[ROXYRORY]

Hey guys ,

I was just writing to the SKINS address that the Channel 4 have. Filming finished up a few weeks ago so none of the cast are there. Also If you are trying to send to Hannah Murray she cannot be contacted through the Skins address as she has left Skins. For some bizarre reasons the producers are chaning the entire cast so theres no point trying to get any of the regulars. I jsut thought I would let me people know. Here are some articles that I mentioned....

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.

So we wrapped Series II on Friday. And I don't quite know what to say.

Last year when we had finished filming I cried. I sobbed and sobbed. And I thought that this year would be even worse because it's the end of something that's become even more important to me (and also much more of a definite end). But I haven't cried at all.

I'm so happy. Not happy that it's ending but happy with how it's gone. I've been incredibly busy these past three weeks shooting my episode and I've had the most wonderful time. This last week in particular has been one of the best of my life. And I'm utterly blissful in the most lovely sleep-deprived way. So I think a big reason I'm not sad that it's over is that if it had to be over this was just the perfect way for it to be so. I feel we've really really gone out on a high - and I think episodes 9 and 10 reflect that also, they're absolutely the best way I think the series could end.

And of course Skins has to end for me. There's no way I would want to be in a teenage drama when I'm 25 or 30, and I completely lost interest in Buffy after they finished high school. And there's was a real sense of it being the end of term and the last day of school on Friday. We got a big group photo taken of all the cast and crew, and we had a special Christmas lunch with crackers, and everyone was getting people to write messages on their scripts and then in the evening we had a really big party. Joe described Skins the other day as being like an equivalent to a University experience for him, and this whole end of school vibe made me feel that maybe it was a something like that for me as well.

I hope that you enjoy Series II, and if it's even a fraction as good as making it was then I think you probably will a bit.
