Lesbian Favourite "Skins" is Cancelled

Whether you're from the UK or not, you'll have heard about Skins. Whether that's because a US version recently aired on MTV or because you're a lesbian and you can't help but love 'Naomily', everyone knows of it.


Yep, now you're remembering. Every lesbian I know has shipped Naomily (Lily Loveless, left, who played Naomi, and Kathryn Prescott, who played Emily) in some way, shape or form during their lives.

Anyway, Skins, sadly, has recently been cancelled by UK television network, Channel 4.


If you've stuck with Skins up until Generation 3, you'll have also spotted that the writers built-up fan-favourite, 'Minky'; an amalgamation of Mini (Freya Mavor) and Franky (Dakota Blue Richards) - two girls who seemed destined to be together until their storyline was ignored in season 6.


What I'm trying to say is, Skins was epic in terms of both lesbian and gay, male relationships. (There was also generation 1's Maxxie and generation 3's newbie, Alex, to keep the men happy).

It'll be sad to see it go...

But for all of you who aren't ready to see it go just yet, there will be a season 7!

What would you like to see in the final season? Do you think the writers will include any LGBTQ relationships?

Comment with your thoughts!

The New Naomily?

If you're a Skins UK fan, you're probably going to know who Naomily are.

You know, the really cute lesbian couple from Skins UK's 2nd generation of characters.


Anyway, if you don't know who they are, Naomi (left, Lily Loveless) and Emily (right, Kathryn Prescott) were the most recent teen couple on our screens that portrayed the love of 2 lesbians.

Until now.

The 3rd generation of Skins UK has brought us pansexual Franky (Dakota Blue Richards), whom some believed at first was a transgendered character.

Anyway, the straight-laced, popular Mini (played by Freya Mavor) appears now to have a little bit of a crush on Franky.

Previously, fans saw a young, straight girl in Mini, who lost her virginity to her then boyfriend this series.

However, the series finale hinted a few times at Minky's relationship becoming something more.

But WAIT! There's another person in the mix.

With Franky being pansexual, it seems that she's also caught the eye of a male friend too. Matty (Sebastian De Souza) is clearly in love with her, making it hard for Mini to get a look in.


Anyway, a lot of fans boycotted the show this year, claiming the cast looked 'boring' and many believed they wouldn't live up to the first two generations.

However, if you give generation 3 a chance, they're actually an interesting lot.

You should check it out. Then tell me what you think of Franky & Mini's little love triangle.
