It's expected to be the final season for this generation which leads many to speculate that this will be a darker season, much like 2 and 4. Also, fans are expecting a death. Nothing has been confirmed about either one. Skins returns to E4 in January 2012.

LGBT Represent!

It's the end of pride month here in America. We feel it's time to give credit to teen dramas. As many fans know they are not take seriously that often in the industry. These shows have a history of bringing up the groundbreaking issues that other shows are too afraid to touch. LGBT storylines are becoming heavily represented in teen drama today.

Degrassi is known for having so far having seven LGBT main characters in it's 11 seasons, four are currently on the show. Gay athelte couple Riley and Zane are in their senior year. Fashionable, wealthy, alcoholic Fiona recently came out as a lesbian after her ended relationship with Degrassi's first transgendered character Adam who is an FTM.

Skins has had four LGBT characters of it's own. Franky currently identifies herself as pansexual, being "into people".

Pretty Little Liars has gained praise for having the character Emily come out as a lesbian and deal with her family drama involved in coming out.

90210 recently had one of it's main character's Teddy come out as gay. However Teddy's character is being written out in season 4.

Other teen dramas as well have really helped make the world more informed and accepting of LGBT youths and should be appreciated for proving that their is change in new generations.

Skins EXTRA EXTRA!!!

For those of you who are lucky enough to be able to get to Bristol, Skins is holding an open casting call for extras.

Skins Series 6 News

Dakota Blue, who plays Franky on the UK teen drama, recenlty spoke out to the press saying that the next series of Skins would be "crazy".

It sounds like they are following the Skins traditional formula. Every two seasons focuses on a different generation. The first season tends to be more of a fun introduction to the characters and the second is much more dark and somewhat depressing. This also means not only will the next generation conclude at the end of the next season but also one of the now beloved characters may die, simaler to the characters of Chris and Freddie in previous seasons.

There are also expected to be more twists! Last season already had plenty of that with surprises of which characters were related to each other. Fans are already speculating a romance between Queen Bee Mini and her androgynous pal Franky.

Any speculation if one of the characters will die and which it will be?
