Episode 9 - we can't quite believe it

So just when we thought Chris was in the all clear, the baddest of the bad things happens. And we don't even have time to catch our breath and let it all sink in, because then we're watching Cassie as she finally unravels before our very eyes, and she keeps on running and running. And then she's in New York! That girl never does things by halves. We're always nervous when Cassie's on our screen; we feel like she's on a timer set to self destruct and not even she knows when it's going to go off. We hope she manages to make it back to Bristol in one piece, but who can tell? Was episode 9 the last we'll ever see of her? Or will she rise from the flames yet again?

So now let's look at what happened half way through the episode: we really don't want to discuss it but yes, Chris is no more. And it was so shocking because we thought he was on the mend, and no-one dies in TV land when they come out of hospital, it's breaking a fundamental rule! But we don't even have time to come to terms with that because now we've got a whole heap of loose ends to deal with that we're willing away the rest of the week so we can watch the final episode. Firstly there's his funeral. Yes, we fear tears may be shed at that point. And then there's everybody else. We're desperate to find out what's in store as the Skins lot get their results and come to terms with the fact Chris is no longer around.

There's Jal and the life changing decision she needs to make, as well as coming to terms with the fact that one of her best mates and boyfriend is no longer around. And what about Tony and Michelle?

Does Sid have any idea Cassie is just about surviving in New York? Does Sketch have any plans to scupper Maxxie and James' plans, or will they be the two that live happily ever after? And what about Anwar now his best friend is loved up and he is single once more? But more than that, how are they all going to deal with the fact that life as they know it is no more?

We also want to know your favourite Chris moments, we're sure there's loads of 'em so leave us a comment. As you can probably tell, we're trying to ease our pain.  

Until the final week

    Аnd what happened to Adam? did he commit suicide? or just leave like Cassie? Cassie was crying because she felt lonely or because she understood that Adam ended his life? His story is so heartbreaking...

    I am shocked. And you are damn right I will be watching with tissues to hand tomorrow. Chris had a lovely, eccentric personality, was quite unpredictable, but most of all I was miss his quirky styles. Maybe you will be bringing us another outlandish skins star in the next series?
