Obligatory Skins Gen 3 Reaction Post
My big gripe is that they introduced us to the actors instead of the characters. But, whatever, I can still make snap judgements based on pictures alone!

Alex Arnold. He looks cute and likeable, I guess. I've decided that he's the one who's going to die in the penultimate episode of series six, just because someone has to.

Sean Teale. Apparently plays the main character, Nick? I'm guessing his character will be in the vein of Tony and Cook. I already don't care.

Sebastian De Souza. He looks okay, but whatever, I'm not in it for the boys.

Freya Mavor. There was another picture of her where she looked really cute, and if I weren't so lazy I'd dig it out. Apparently she plays Mini, girlfriend of Nick (?), who gets hit on by the tiny lesbian. Let's hope she reciprocates.

Jessica Sula. A potential candidate for the tiny lesbian! I hope it's her; she's cute.

Will Merrick. Looks like he ought to be playing Percy Weasley. Probably the token geek, y/y?

Laya Lewis. Everyone keeps saying she looks like Jal; she doesn't, really. Anyway, I'm really pleased that the cast is less white this year.

Dakota Blue Richards. LYRA FROM THE GOLDEN COMPASS. (They had a different picture of her on the E4 site earlier, right? I'm not just imagining things?) I'm still weirded out by the fact that she's no longer twelve, but I think I'm looking forward to seeing her on the show. Anyway, I guess she's the other potential tiny lesbian. She's kind of adorable, but makes me feel old.
All in all, I'm... kind of intrigued? At the moment it's hard to see them as a Skins cast instead of a bunch of normal teenagers, but I'm interested to see what kind of characters they'll be playing. Still have unwavering faith in Jamie Brittain's ability to fuck it all up, but obviously I'll be watching anyway.

I am already shipping Mini/Jessica's character. Come on, Skins. Don't disappoint.

Emma Watson is too old for Skins now, but it would've been amusing to see her play a typical Skins teenager after being Hermione.

Shocker ;)
I agree, I guess Sebastian is there to appease the straight girl/gay guy demographic (because I don't see the appeal at all in Sean Teale)
Do we know for sure there's a lesbian...because, dammit, that does make it slightly more likely that I'll watch/*lame desire for representation lame*

Also - Mini/Jessica will be a popular ship, I can guarantee that now without having seen a scene of anything.
