''Skins'' is an American teen drama that premiered on January 17, 2011, on MTV in the United States. It is a remake of the original UK show of the same name. As with the UK series, the American version features a cast of amateur actors and young writers.〔 The series generated controversy in the United States over its sexual content, in which several advertisers withdrew and there were some accusations of child pornography since most of its cast members were under the age of 18. On June 9, 2011, MTV announced that they would not renew ''Skins'' for a second season, with a statement that "''Skins'' is a global television phenomenon that, unfortunately, did not connect with a U.S. audience as much as we had hoped. We admire the work that the series creator Bryan Elsley did in adapting the show for MTV, and appreciate the core audience that embraced it." == Cast and characters == The characters in the American version are also the same as those in the UK version, although some first names have been changed and all last names have been changed except for Michelle Richardson. For example, Sid Jenkins has been renamed Stanley Lucerne, Effy Stonem renamed Eura, Anwar Kharral renamed Abbud Siddiqui, Jal Fazer renamed Daisy Valero, and Cassie Ainsworth renamed Cadie Campbell, but the biggest change comes in the form of Tea Marvelli, a lesbian cheerleader who replaces the UK character Maxxie Oliver. * James Newman as Tony Snyder (Tony Stonem) :Tony begins the season as the leader of the group, but as his relationship with Michelle starts to crumble due to cheating on her with Tea, his popularity and power within the group crumbles as well. He ends the series with the realization that his friends, particularly Stanley, and his sister Eura mean more to him than he actually thought. * Rachel Thevenard as Michelle Richardson :In the beginning of the season Michelle, or "nips" as Tony calls her, is in a relationship with Tony, which causes her to act like she enjoys the role of the good-looking girlfriend and ignore her real feelings. Upon discovery of Tony's affair, she struggles to find herself and confides in Stanley, who has been in love with her for as long as he can remember. She concludes the season choosing Stanley over Tony, finally realizing what is best for her. * Daniel Flaherty as Stanley Lucerne (Sid Jenkins) :Stanley is lazy and insecure, and often is overshadowed by Tony, his best friend and role model. Stanley finally begins to find his voice in "Stanley", when he brings up the courage to stand up to his father, who is so demanding and self-centered that he drives away Stanley's mother. Stanley spends much of the season in love with Michelle, but soon finds himself torn between his feelings for her and Cadie. In the end Stanley chooses Michelle. * Sofia Black D'Elia as Tea Marvelli (Maxxie Oliver) :Tea is confident, smart, and at times confused about who she is. Tea is a lesbian, but soon finds herself questioning her sexuality by sleeping with Tony on two separate occasions. When Michelle finds out, her friendship with Michelle and relationship with Tony are broken off. At the end she chooses Betty, a girl who had been trying to start a relationship with her for most of the season. * Ron Mustafaa as Abbud Siddiqui (Anwar Kharral) :Abbud is a funny and caring person. He is in love with Tea for half of the season, and then spends the remaining few episodes with feelings for Daisy, with whom he has started a "friends with benefits" type of relationship. Abbud is best friends with Chris, who he takes in after his parents desert him and Tina is forced to leave town. * Jesse Carere as Chris Collins (Chris Miles) :Chris is the party animal of the group. He is loud, energetic, and at a lot of times, either drunk or high on either weed or some type of pill. After his mom abandons for good with nothing more than $1,000, Chris finds hospitality with Tina, who he starts up a relationship with, and then Abbud. * Britne Oldford as Cadie Campbell (Cassie Ainsworth) :Cadie is bipolar, depressed, suicidal, and anorexic. She begins the season with strong feelings for Stanley, but then loses interest. She finds a boyfriend midway through the season, and ends it with feelings for Stanley, but ultimately chooses to let him go for Michelle, knowing it is what is best for him. * Camille Cresencia-Mills as Daisy Valero (Jal Fazer) :Daisy is the one who often has to fix everyone else's problems. She eventually gets fed up with everybody, and tells everybody to stop asking her for help. Her mother left her, and she lives with her father and younger sister, Deedee. She is a talented trumpeter and has dreams of becoming a professional. She becomes friends with benefits with Abbud. * Eleanor Zichy as Eura Snyder (Effy Stonem) :Eura is Tony's younger sister, and does not speak. She enjoys partying and drinking, and Tony often helps her sneak in and out of the house. The audience does not hear her voice until the season finale. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skins (North American TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
