Best Skins Characters

This guy is pure awesomeness! His drug addiction and harsh past make him quite a tragic character. Still, he has nothing but love towards his friends, and I've laughed my ass off several times due to the actor's comedic timing and expressions.
Just the best and the most appealing character of Skins, with Sid, Cook, and J.J.
Really interesting and fun. He deserved better.

I know she is not the most popular one because of her toxic traits, but she changed a lot and has a lot of depth in her character. Somehow, even though she had her strange ways, I could always understand why she was the way she was.
We definitely saw her pain and growth throughout the show. She is very strong considering all the things she went through and had to deal with mostly by herself because she wouldn't speak about it.
Effy is just so angsty, and she has such a coolness to her that I love her. The Season 4 storyline of her trying to kill herself was a bit overdone, however.

My top three in no specific order are Cassie, Cook, and Chris.
I love how calm and positive she is, at least on the outside.
Manipulator, but she's my manipulator!


Funny, wild, and crazy, but he shows true heart. Courageous, and he had a very terrible set of parents, for example. Being hurt as much as he was, he is very understandable in all his crazy ways.
Cook is underrated and deserves more appreciation. He is touching in his way, and I love how he shows his true colors from time to time to Naomi, Effy, JJ, and Freddy. James is definitely the best character of all.
Cook and Cassie are the characters that really deserve a spin-off series on their own! Please, someone make it happen!

Sid is my absolute favorite. I'd agree that Chris is the best and most interesting character on the show, and I also admire Cassie, but I just have to go with Sid. He's wonderful.
Everyone can agree that Sid was the most relatable character, and we were all rooting for him to get with Cassie the whole time.
Sid's development during Series 1 was amazing. Nothing is better than seeing a character develop in a good way. I loved that.

AMAZING FRIEND, really good and interesting storyline, loyal, and supportive. Her problems are so deep, and she deserved a happy ending.


Loyal friend. He didn't really have a flawed character from the way he was written.
He's a really sweet and down-to-earth guy. Let's not forget his looks!
He's so likable and sweet. And he's really hot.

The Newcomers



He just had so much love for everybody and was always kind. He was just so glad to meet you.

Wouldn't let anyone mess with her. Funny.

I'm sad he passed away. He was my favorite character.
My second favorite is Cook.


I LOVE HER. She is the most relatable Skins character. Maybe she is annoying in Season 4, but I understand her. Her problems with her family are so sad. She has a hard story, and my girl deserves better.

I didn't like the character at first, but over the two seasons, he grew on me. The actor did a great job. Loved Rich. He ended up becoming my favorite character next to Chris and Cook.
Rich was an amazing character. His relationship with Gracie was one of my favorites. He really loved her. A good friend, kind-hearted, and funny.
Soooo pretty, handsome, and hot, omg. I love his relationship with Grace, his personality, his hair, his storyline, and how he is a really good friend.






How is she so low down? She's amazing! In my top 3.


Franky is one of the most authentic characters ever written. She has originality, a hard story, and a complex past, present, and future. She is shy, insecure, heartbroken, creative, and generous, with a heart of gold, even though she sometimes pretends to be cold and indifferent to consequences.
She might be the best Skins character. I swear, she has more story than Effy over the five seasons she appeared. She suffered adoption, rape, bullying, humiliation, loss, and not feeling herself.
How is she inferior to other characters who are more superficial?
