British Counterpart: Tony Stonem

Centric episode: "Tony"

• All Guys Want Cheerleaders: Has a thing for Tea.

Michelle Reinhart

Michelle Reinhart

Played by: Rachel Thevenard

British counterpart: Michelle Richardson

Centric episode: "Michelle"

• Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: How she sees her mother.

Stanley Lucerne

Stanley Lucerne

Played by: Daniel Flaherty

British counterpart: Sid Jenkins

Centric episode: "Stanley"

• Dumbass Teenage Son: Considered by his father to be this.

Chris Collins

Chris Collins

Played by: Jesse Carrere

British Counterpart: Chris Miles

Centric episode: "Chris"

• Expy: While the other Skins US characters have been developed beyond their British inspirations somewhat, he remains essentially a direct copy of the original Chris, if a bit meaner.
• Life of the Party: Relative to the other characters, that is. Though at least one person thinks it's an Informed Attribute.
• The Stoner
• Teacher/Student Romance

Cadie Campbell

Cadie Campbell

Played by: Britne Oldford

British Counterpart: Cassie Ainsworth

Centric episode: "Cadie"

• Race Lift: Cassie was White, while Cadie is biracial (Black and White).
• Room Full of Crazy: What her mom thinks of her room. Your mileage may vary.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She is terrified of birds (pigeons in particular).

Tea Marvelli

Tea Marvelli

Played by: Sofia Black-D'Elia

British Counterpart: Maxxie Oliver

Centric episode: "Tea"

• All Gays are Promiscuous: Tea isn't interested in a relationship; she just wants sex.

• In the Blood: Turns out her grandmother is also a lesbian, or at least bisexual.

• The Mafia: It's implied that her dad is a member.
• No Bisexuals: Many have pointed out that having Tea come out as bisexual would be a great solution to the Tony/Tea/Betty triangle, appeasing both Tea/Tony shippers and queer fans upset about the show resorting to an offensive cliche. However, Word of God has confirmed that she is a lesbian, not bisexual, and her interest in Tony is strictly friendly and she's just confused.
• Twofer Token Minority: Lesbian and (half-)Jewish.

Daisy Valero

Daisy Valero

Played by: Camille Crescencia-Mills

British Counterpart: Jal Fazer

Centric episode: "Daisy"

• Elegant Classical Musician: Like Jal, although Daisy plays the trumpet.
• Friends with Benefits: With Abbud, though the moment slightly hints at something more.

• Only Sane Woman: Like her British counterpart, Daisy tends to play this role - though she is a bit wilder than Jal was.
• Race Lift: Jal was Black; Daisy is Latina (though she looks more Filipina than she does Latina, as Camille is half-Filipina).

• Their First Time: She and Abbud lose their virginity to each other in her Season 1 episode.

Abbud Siddiky

Abbud Siddiky

Played by: Ron Mustafaa

British Counterpart: Anwar Kharral

Centric episode: "Abbud"

• All Guys Want Cheerleaders: Has a thing for Tea.
• Friends with Benefits: How his relationship with Daisy starts out.
• Fake Nationality: Bangladeshi American Muslim Abbud Siddiky is played by Bangladeshi Canadian Muslim Ron Mustafaa
• Girl on Girl Is Hot: Why he went to Tea's "Big Gay Night Out." Was disappointed when they turned out to be much more interested in each other than in the dudes like him looking on.

• Nature Abhors a Virgin: Not anymore apparently, as of Daisy's Season 1 episode.
• Race Lift: A minor one. His British counterpart is a British Pakistani Muslim. Here he's a Bangladeshi American Muslim.
