*Spoiler alert - watch ep2 first*

Very little to say, other than RIP Grace Blood.

Leave your messages, condolences and thoughts on tonight's episode below. Plus you can post your messages on Grace's Facebook wall, and tweet your farewells @theamazinggracy.

Rich could do with your support too - why not write on Rich's Facebook or tweet him @psychonaut93.

For any of you already following Rich, you might have seen him post this. Let's all have a watch...

As if things aren't bad enough for Rich and for the Bloods, looks like Rich has been well and truly banned from seeing Gracie.

First there was this:

By the looks of what is happening on Facebook and Twitter, Grace is still no better. There are lots of get well messages coming in from the rest of the gang for Miss Violet, like...

Hey hey everyone! How you been? Good? Good.

So, Skins properly back then - with a right ruddy great big bang of a premiere. What looked like a pretty amazing holiday all became a little too messy. That Luke's a wrong 'un eh?

As ever, we've got a load of ace stuff on the official Skins site for you, like music guides, to style blogs and our wicked new Skins Lock-In (def check that baby out).

And this is your place to chat, discuss, agree and argue about the brand new series - what's going to become of our dear Gracie? Will we see Matty again? What's the Malo situation? All these things and more need your input - tell us what you thought down below.

Watch the series 6 trailer here

In the meantime, let's have a little think about poor Grace and stare at this pic.

Rich and Alo on Facebook

Do you like Rich and Alo on Facebook? If you do, you've probably seen the ridiculousness that Mr Creevey's been banging on about this evening. If you don't, you need to have a real good look at yourself, and go and find them immediately.

Read Alo's 'Hungry Monkey Anus' rant

Here's the TL:DR breakdown - the lads can't decide on a name for their band, so they've thrown it open to the Twitter public to help by the looks of things.

Follow @alo_alo_alo_alo and @psychonaut93 on Twitter and get involved on Friday 20 Jan at 4pm using the hashtag #skinsbandaid. GET INVOLVED, YEAH?

If you haven't heard already (if not... why not?) you can watch the first episode of Skins 6 on 4oD right this very minute.

That means you can see Episode 1 before it's on the telebox (on Monday 23 January at 10pm, that is). Yep, brilliant, aint it?

Head over to 4oD now to get involved

Episode 8 and series 5 chatter

So that was ep 8 - and that, ladies and gents was Skins 5. Plenty of love knocking about tonight... Rich & Grace = super-cute. And there are so many new questions for Skins 6: is it really over for Liv and Matty? What's the story with Matty & Franky? And MINKY?!?

Big shout out to Dog is Dead btw - great band featured in tongiht's ep.

Questions aside... here are my favourite bits of Skins 5 presented to you in the form of meaningless categories, let me know if you agree (you probably won't, but let us know what your best bits were):

Best hook-ups:
1) Rich and Grace (natch)
2) Liv and Rider
3) Alo and his sock and/or that blow-up doll

Best freak-outs:
1) Nick with the golf club
2) Franky with her gun (!?!)
3) Mini at her party

Best unlikely catchphrases:
1) "I'm metal." Rich (mainly because it sounds like he says "I'm mental.")
2) "You can totally see your vag through that." Liv
3) "Ultrawank." Alo

Best surprise cameo:
1) All of Napalm Death
2) Kelly Brook
3) Blood as Grace's dad

... and that's that! Thanks for all your comments, don't forget us over here on e4.com/skins, we're still here making pretty internet things. HEY, it's been a riot.

Thom

PS I leave you with a pic of Alo being triumphant. It feels right.
