I loved all the comments/responses to my last post. I wanted to take a moment to share them and comment back. Because they were awesome. I hope they keep coming!

I fully agree with you. All of them are just fantastic. And another great actress is Hannah Murray. Love your posts btw.

I really appreciate that. You made my day. I love talking about this stuff and I really love hearing other people’s thoughts as well. This is why Tumblr is awesome.

Also, Nick Hoult’s tallness definitely matched Tony’s personality. US Skin’s Tony was too short.

This is very true. And countless other reasons for why why USA Tony just didn’t represent what Tony was. Nick’s looks in general is perfect for Tony. Mysteriously good looking. Tallness. Intense eyes. Then the way Nick played it was just absolutely fantastic. No other actor can capture that.

To add to those three, I would say Hannah Murray, and Mitch Hewer, but I agree 100

Mitch Hewer *-*

I was thinking about adding both Hannah Murray and Mitch Hewer. I am really glad you brought them up! Mitch is fantastic as Maxxie. I wish they wrote a little bit more of Maxxie in Series 1 and 2. One of my few complaints. Hannah Murray plays Cassie perfectly deranged yet endearing as well. Amazing performances. 

My favorite scene of this entire episode would have to be the scene when Cassie and Sid are talking in the cafeteria.

One of the reasons I really love this scene is that we kind of get a glimpse into Cassie. As well as being a sweet, insecure, and whimsical girl she is also a saavy, manipulative, and sometimes even cruel. Everyone has this inside of them. It is the duality of life really. But you see this here with her telling Sid how she lies about eating food. Then Sid says something that is so true “But aren’t you kind of, you know, lying to everyone.”

You also got to see Cassie defend Sid to Tony. Whens she knocked over the drink onto Tony’s lap when he was being a giant tool to Sid.

I just think that this scene holds a lot of importance for the character Cassie and the relationship between Sid/Cassie.

Good scene!

I have decided instead of doing daily Skin challenges. I am just going to answer Skins questions frequently without a set guide see how this goes… 

Discussion Question 1: Top 5 Skins Characters (All Generations) -Alphabetical Order- Part 1

Cassie Ainsworth:

“I like boats they go places” 

For some reason she is the only girl that really survived by top 5. It was quite painful to be honest. Grace I think is a great character totally sweet and elegant, but I am waiting for the full Grace to come out to make any decisions about her being in my Top 5. Franky is also a very necessary character and quite different, but she really hasn’t stepped up quite yet. Mini is also quickly becoming a favorite of mine, but I still haven’t forgiven her for a few things yet. So this is why Cassie is the female survivor, if you will, of my top 5 characters. She is absolutely insane and unhinged but through that insanity she says some pretty wise things. She is very sweet, has a child like wonder, and she is so unbelievably strange. I also really enjoyed her friendship with Chris towards the end. She really loved him and took care of him. It was a sweet friendship.
