Just watched the second instalment of the 'Cassie' episodes tonight, quite interesting but a bit weird too. The two episodes about Effy before these were better I think. I remember Cassie was friends with Effy's brother Tony back in Bristol in previous series', and we have Effy living in Deptford in south London and Cassie living somewhere in north London in this series. As these stories are meant to be taking place around the same time I would have thought Effy and Cassie would have been in touch, they are both living in London after all, but there was no mention of that.
References to Deptford appeared in Effy's two episodes, no specific area was mentioned for where Cassie has been living but in the episode last week someone mentioned Finchley Road, and that bench Cassie sits on is on Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath. I recognised it. Those avenues you see in the distance when she is sat on the bench are the roads of the Holly Lodge Estate in Highgate. One of the nicest places to live in London. I think Cassie was possibly living somewhere around Archway, Holloway Road, or maybe the tatty bit of Belsize Park. She could "head up to her bench every morning" from those places, as she said she did. The other areas around there, Hampstead and Highgate, would be well out of her price range and are full of mansions rather than multi-occupancy bedsit houses.
So we learned that Effy is going to prison for insider-trading and her friend (I forget her name, she is played by Lily Loveless) is sadly dying of cancer. I assume that Cassie will continue to live in the bedsit with new neighbours, now her Scottish friend has gone, and she'll get a new job. I found it odd that her little brother is going to live with her when she has no money, and lives in a room where there is nowhere to accomodate him. Some of her neighbours will scare the kid too.
The next two episodes are about Cook, he is my least favourite character out of all the series' of Skins that have ever been on. He is a complete tool, and he has the most hilarious dress sense on earth. He was always involved in bad things and I suspect he will come to a sticky end in the next two (and final, ever) episodes. If anyone knows what happens to him please don't post it, I will watch both shows even though I never liked the character.
So what do people think of the four episodes so far? Two about Effy, and two about Cassie. The Effy ones were the best, I think. Also do people not think it strange Effy, Tony's sister, and Cassie, were never in touch? Both living in London and everything.
