* DiabolusExMachina: [[spoiler: Freddie's death]] in Series 4. It happened with very little build-up and the aftermath [[completely changes Cook's life for the worst]].

%%* DiabolusExMachina: [[spoiler: Freddie's death]] in Series 4.
* DisappearedDad:
** Chris' father abandoned his family after Chris' brother Peter died, Pandora never knew her father (though the man that helps her in her season 4 Unseen Skins is hinted to be her dad), Effy's dad is suspiciously absent when his daughter is in the hospital after trying to kill herself, Thomas' dad is gone, Michelle's father is never even mentioned though we see two step-dads, Naomi's dad is mentioned in passing as being a twat, and Liv's dad was just never brought up.
** Completely averted with Franky who has two very supportive dads. In fact she's the one who tends to disappear on them.

Now with a [[Characters/{{SkinsSeries}} character page]]. Some Tropes have been moved there.

-->'''Tony:''' "I always loved you the best, Sid."

---> '''Pandora:''' Can I open it? I love parcels!

--> ''[the naked passed out Chris turns over in the sofa, exposing himself]''\\

* OverprotectiveDad:
** Katie and Emily's father Rob Fitch, greeting Freddie and JJ with a big smile on his face:
-->'''Rob:''' If they're not still virgins tomorrow, I'll hunt you down like dogs.
** ...and Rob is nothing compared to [[spoiler: David Blood.]] He bugged his daughter and practically stalked her, for heaven's sakes!

* TwerpSweating: Katie and Emily's father gets in a good one in their Series 3 episode, see OverprotectiveDad above.

** He was walked in twice by his sister and J.J., the first time he was [[spoiler:having sex with Katie]] and the second time he was having ADateWithRosiePalms.

%%* ADateWithRosiePalms

* TriangRelations: It's a ''TeenDrama'', of course there's Triang Relations. The most notable though is definitely Cook/Effy/Freddie, which at its core is somewhere between a Type 4, Type 1, with a genuine smidgen of Type 9, and let's be honest here a fair amount of Type 11.
-->'''Cook:''' She broke my heart as well. You broke my heart. I bet you’ve broken hers at some point. So what are we gonna do? Are we just three losers screwing each other forever? Or are we something better than that?

* TheirFirstTime: [[spoiler: Mini and Nick in season 5 goes through this with the complication being that only Mini is a virgin and extremely reluctant; it was actually a TearJerker to many viewers. The scene where Mini practices sexual positions is some kind of broken Heartwarming moment.]]

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: More in the first series than the others, but some of the most positive characters on the show are adults who have their heads on straight. Chris in particular finds his one and only GoodMentor during a brief stint in a real estate company; and even though this venture ends in disaster, there's isn't a BrokenPedestal for either of them.
