Spoiler-Safe Guide
medium confidencesource-verifiedSkins UK ran for 7 series (2007-2013) across three generations of characters plus an adult anthology. Series 1-2: first generation (9 and 10 episodes); Series 3-4: second generation (10 and 8 episodes); Series 5-6: third generation (8 and 10 episodes); Series 7: 6-part anthology revisiting Effy, Cassie, and Cook as young adults. Total: 61 episodes. This guide covers all ★★/★★★ events across all series. Minor supporting-character subplots and severity-1 beats that are not deaths or relationship-defining moments have been selectively included or omitted. Series 7 episode-level detail remains sparse for Pure and Rise due to limited dedicated episode-article sourcing — those entries are tagged ~. Revised confidence is medium rather than high because: (a) three material corrections were made this run (causal direction, Matty debut, Cook's prison reason), indicating the prior run had meaningful errors, and (b) not all ★★★ events reached the two-independent-source threshold for every sub-claim within the event description.
Showing everything up to nothing yet. 33 later beat(s) hidden.
Key: ★ notable · ★★ major · ★★★ series-defining · ✓ confirmed · ~ estimated · ⚠️ limited sources

Chris Miles · Joe Dempsie · debut [S1E1✓]
The reckless, warm-hearted member of the first-generation group. A hereditary brain condition that previously killed his older brother ultimately takes his life in Series 2.

Effy Stonem · Kaya Scodelario · debut [S1E1✓]
Tony's younger sister who begins as a near-silent, enigmatic presence in Series 1-2 before becoming the central protagonist of Series 3-4 and returning for the Series 7 adult anthology.

Naomi Campbell · Lily Loveless · debut [S3E1✓]
Fiercely independent and politically outspoken, Naomi spends much of Series 3 denying her feelings for Emily before their relationship becomes one of the most celebrated storylines in the show's history. She returns in Series 7 to face a terminal illness.
Emily Fitch · Kathryn Prescott · debut [S3E1✓]
Katie's twin sister who pursues her identity independently of both her dominant twin and her own self-doubt, most powerfully through her relationship with Naomi.

Gender-nonconforming newcomer who challenges Mini's social hierarchy at the start of Series 5, and whose identity evolves — sometimes into darker territory — across Series 5 and 6.
Mini McGuinness · Freya Mavor · debut [S5E1✓]

Rugby-playing, family-pressured young man whose relationship with Mini unravels; he develops feelings for Franky in Series 6.
Matty Levan · Sebastian De Souza · debut [S5E4✓]

Liv Malone · Laya Lewis · debut [S5E1✓]
Frank, direct member of the third generation whose grief over Grace and feelings of exclusion from her friends define her Series 6 arc.
