Will Merrick – Alo Creevey
A bit of a strange one, Alo was the best friend of Rich and eventually ended up the baby daddy to Mini at the end of season six.
Merrick hasn’t had a shortage of work as an actor since leaving Alo behind, having starred in Doctor Who, Atlantis and Brief Encounters.
He continues to work, most recently starring in Modern Life is Rubbish as Olly.
Freya Mavor – Mini McGuinness
Mavor’s character Mini was the top girl at Roundview in seasons five and six, friends with everyone and eventually getting pregnant by Alo.
She has worked with Will Merrick who played Alo several times since leaving the Skins cast, starring opposite him in Boys and Modern Life is Rubbish.

Alex Arnold – Rich Hardbeck
Rich, a metalhead and best friend of Alo, had a rough time on Skins as his love Grace descended into a coma following a car accident and never woke up.
Arnold has found fame in hits like Poldark and In The Flesh.
He has had no end of work, starring in The Salvation back in 2014 and most recently played Luke in Save Me.
Arnold has continud to work as an actor since leaving Skins.
Laya Lewis – Liv Malone
Making her acting debut in Skins in 2011, Lewis played Liv, best friend of Mini. The pair found trouble when Grace died, but made up just before Mini gave birth to her baby.

She has starred in ITV’s Jekyll and Hyde reboot, Cuckoo in 2014 and most recently in 2017 as Mae in the TV series All of Them.
Jessica Sula – Grace Violet Blood
The daughter of Professor Blood, Grace Violet was a bit of a wild child. Sula’s time on the series was cut short as her character died after a car accident in Morocco.
She later appeared as a spirit in further episodes.
Since leaving Skins, Sula has found fame both in the UK and across the pond.
She starred opposite James McEvoy as Marcia in Split and starred in shows like Love and Marriage and in ABC Family’s Recovery Road with fellow star Sebastian de Souza.
Sebastian de Souza – Matty Levan
In Skins, de Souza’s character was a bit of a mysterious one. He never had his own episode but was revealed as the brother of Nick, played by Sean Teale.
Since leaving, he has found parts as an actor in The Borgias as Alfonso of Aragon, among various other projects.
He starred opposite Skins castmate Sula in Recovery Road and opposite Cara Delevingne in Kids in Love, which he co-wrote.
De Souza also continues to act, with some pretty exciting stuff in the pipeline for the coming year.
Sean Teale – Nick Levan
Arguably one of the most successful Skins cast members from generation three, Teale didn’t make his acting debut with the show.
His popular rugby captain character saw his world shattered through the fifth and sixth seasons and had tumultuous relationships with Franky and his brother Matty.
Since leaving he has starred in popular shows like Reign, as well as opposite Pierce Brosnan in 2015’s Survivor.
He continues to work on some big-budget projects, and starred in B&B – a thriller about two gay Londoners who cause mischief with the Christian owner of a B&B.
Teale also starred in Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Incorporated series on Syfy.
Sam Jackson – Alex Henley
A late entry into the Skins universe, Jackson’s character Alex joined in season six. Liv had a bit of a thing for Alex before realising he was gay but the two became good friends.
Jackson is a composer as well as an actor and director and has performed on stage as well as on screen.
In 2013 he starred as Billy in a stage production of Kes, and in the same year appeared on Holby City and Drifters.
