Favourite First Gen

[{`effy }]

Who is your all time favourite character from the First Generation of Skins?

Mine would have to be Cassie. She was just a brilliant little buggar and I couldn't help but fall in love with her. She may have been awkward, and she may of had her issues, but she was quite a character. I was very sad to see her go after Series 2 ended.

My second favourite would have to be Effy (who is also my favourite from the Second Generation). Her character went through a lot of ups and downs through out the series. To me, Effy is sort of like Cassie, except without the eating disorder.

exactly the same actually; I absolutely loved Cassie, everything about her was totally awesome. Since watching the series I've adopted her 'Oh, wow.' catchphrase too, which is an injoke nobody else has caught onto, but I just loved how she said those two words.

She was just so much of a fun character, always acting so cheerful when actually being the darkest character in the bunch. I think my favourite aspect of her was her journey to New York randomly at the end of the series, it was so bizarre but appropriate.

Effy was probably my second favourite in the S1/2 cast, but I eee her as second gen. more because of her more central role. I did also love Panda's part to series 2 and was really suprised and pleased when she made a return.

My third favourite character was probably Jal, I really loved her heart-breaking scenes towards the end of series 2, and I did like her from the start. I think shes also in a draw with Tony, who was just the best lead character in the first series. I wasn't a fan of his s2 direction so much though.

I did also like Sketch, and Maxxie, somewhat. Maxxie was a bit boring, but I was completely jealous of James at the end of the series

I have a really hard time deciding on a First Gen favorite. There wasn't a single character I didn't at least like by the end of the series. I remember starting out hating Michelle, but by the end she had become one of my better favorites. Throughout the whole series, though, I really loved Maxxie and Cassie. Chris was close, and by the end he and Jal were probably about tied.

I'm going with Maxxie, though, because he was simply one of the nicest, most honest characters in the series, and I loved that about him. He could get angry or harsh - the Sketch fiasco proved that. But even though people saw him differently because he was gay, his family didn't want him to be who he was, even though his best friend wouldn't accept it, he was always honest about everything. And when he got hurt, he was hurt. Maybe he wasn't the most exciting character at times, and he definitely didn't get as much screentime as, say, Tony or Sid, but whenever he was onscreen I really paid attention, and I connected with him.

My favourite would be a tie between Chris & Cassie.
Yet I love Chris just a tiny bit more. He was probably one of the most funniest characters in Skins, I loved it when he yelled 'Now THATS an ending!' when Maxxie and Sketch where performing the musical 'Then came the day', but against all his humor he does have a serious side and I think his story is amazing. I also really love Maxxie & Effy, they had great performences in G1.
