"Skins" Season 4 doesn't shy away from its lesbian relationship

If there's one show that does a great job at making its burgeoning lesbian relationship equal to, if not better, its straight counterparts, it's the UK's Skins. Last month we got a look at some clips of the new season from the show's video-mash up contest, and now, in a new season 4 promo, there's a lot of making out (per usual, for the show) and much of it includes Naomi and Emily.

Here's my hypotheses for what will happen in the fourth season between Naomily:

They will ride a motorcycle.

They will share moments in bed.

They will kiss.

They will indulge in a, uh, darkly lit massage.

Too bad UK viewers won't be able to watch until Jan. 21, and U.S. viewers will have to wait even longer for BBC America to catch up. Either way, it's heartening to me that Naomily will continue to be a big part of the show.

Are you psyched on Skins?

Oh yes!! I can't watch i watched the promo the other day and it looks awesome. I love them together, so i hope the stay together. They better stay together. :)

I think is Emily. The person

I think is Emily. The person is wearing red tights, and i´ve seen Emily wearing it in some filming pics ( sorry for my english i´m spanish ) :)
stalemate's picture

it's Emily, they're both wearing the same pants/tights from this photo:

natasha.snaps's picture

yeah i know! i saw that clip

yeah i know! i saw that clip and had to rewind it to make sure... i don't think it looks like emily though =S

i'd really hate for those two to break up as they make a lovely couple, the actresses have great chemistry. and are both gorgeous obviously =P 

spencer's picture

YAY

YAY i love skins! i really hope they don't break them up! i don't like in the promo where emily is looking all sad! at least we'll always have effy to look at :)

Ahh us brits do do the gay

Ahh us brits do do the gay thing best. The first picture makes me 'LOL'

Although I'm abit bummed cause I never really gelled with the Naomily storyline as much as everyone else unfortuantly...I'm more of a Katie girl, I'm completely invested in her storyline already, it's gonna be big y'all. Or so I've heard. Cook is so my guy crush. And Pandora is the funiest thing on TV.

This made my day. Lily

This made my day. Lily Loveless and Kathryn Prescott are the best, and I love Skins. This isn't their only good story-line, in my opinion; I really admire how the writers show a "no shame," realistic version of the daily lives of teenagers. Of course, Naomily is what we all love. Keep it up, Skins crew!

Don't jump, Emily!!

Don't jump, Emily!!!

Was anybody else a little unnerved by Emily on the top of that building? And by the fights it looks like Emily and Naomi have? Yikes. So excited for this. Looks like there's going to be a lot of drama to talk about -- but I'm sure that won't stop Skins from being the best written, acted, and produced teen show out there right now.

Alii (:'s picture

I WAS UNNERVED!! =/ I was

I WAS UNNERVED!! =/ I was actually just about to sign in and comment on that but i saw your comment. (:

 

It looks like there's hell of a lot in store for Emily & Naomi in season 4! Oh well.. im sure we wont be dissapointed! :)

Dani's picture

I know

I hope she doesn't jump...that would be horrible!!
AnnaRG's picture

weee!

so so so excited. that is all. =D
AnnaRG's picture

oh. and i'm also glad that

oh. and i'm also glad that they darkened Katie's hair on the show because now i can finally tell the difference between them in short quick clips like in the trailer. Thank you E4.
McSpedster's picture

ahhh the teaser is making me

ahhh the teaser is making me really scared for them. it's kinda hard too because sometimes it's difficult to tell the twins apart in quick clips.

for some reason i can just see naomi messing this up. 

smithy's picture

hahaha yeah...

 me too...can totally see naomi twatting it up! lol don't want her too, really really don't want her too but if it happens she's probably messed it up lol

I love this storyline soooo

I love this storyline soooo much!!!  It would be great if that is Naomi giving Emily a massage ;-) I really hope they don't mess them up, if Emily kills herself I will be seriously annoyed!
Darlyka's picture

The answer is...

OF COURSE I AM PSHYCHED ON SKINS or I should say, PSHYCHED ON NAOMILY =) best day ever for Naomily´s shippers *cheers*

Not Emily

To all those people who thought Emily was about to jump, or that she was being all sad, etc.

That wasn't her, it was her twin sister Katie. If you watch it obsessively enough you'll get good at spotting it. For instance, Katie is the one that the video starts and ends with, not Emily. Another way to tell is that Emily has a freckle under her right eye, while Katie has a freckle next to her left eye.

IamNotRachel's picture

WRONG.

It's Emily. Emily has redder hair than Katie. And a more rounded nose.

Its wierd how we had the same thing with series 3 trailer and the locker/kiss scene. Everyone was like 'It's katie' and it turned out to be Emily. The peeps who make the trailers aren't stupid. They want us to speculate.

Whoever it is, they won't jump though.

babyface30's picture

Your wrong

The roof scene and the start/finish scenes are all Emily. Katie has much darker hair in S4, the bright red hair is Emily's. I am 100% positive that they are Emily.

The massage scene isn't a massage scene and it's not naomily. It's part of the the Thomas/Pandora sex scene. The Naomily sex scene if with Naomi on top.

Lained's picture

This. I was wondering why

This. I was wondering why there is no pic of the sex scene.
Lained's picture

I think you missed the fact

I think you missed the fact that there is no freckle now and Emily is wearing the same outfit in the other footage video :)

It´s Emily.

turkish's picture

Nope

That is definitely Emily. Katie has dark hair in season four. Meg Prescott has had dark hair for months now actually so I don't get how can't tell them apart in the trailer.
Meghan's picture

sooo excited!

i was literally just watching some old episodes online and then i came on here and there's a blog =]. Naomily is my fav and i can't wait till S4 finally comes to the US
stalemate's picture

lol I think that last

lol I think that last picture is Panda/Thomas :p

 

anyway, I cannot wait for this season

dont_ask's picture

Yesss! I'm in that club

Yesss! I'm in that club scene, dancing my butt off! Literally just made an account to brag a little bit about that but I'm super excited so think I've got just cause.

 

Oh and yay for Naomily. Good times.

Jayde's picture

Great!

I look forward in watching Season 4 as soon as somebody posts
the episodes up on youtube.

Fuck, now to think of it! I don't think here in Canada they
even play any good UK show's on our t.v's?!?

pecola's picture

YES!

The trailer looks great--plenty of Naomily and it looks like they're going develop Thomas' character some (I heart him). PLUS, the fun sponge seems to be less prominent and I couldn't be happier about that. I can't wait. 

Also, did anyone else get the impression that they're introducing new characters to carry over into the next generation?

This looks so awesome! Can't

This looks so awesome! Can't wait until January. That thing Emily is holding at the end of the clip, (I have no idea what it's called) that's so cute. Wonder if she made it or Naomi.

Tab's picture

No BBC America censorship, please!

Let's start the campaign now to get BBC America to show us uncensored Skins 4. Hopefully the darkly lit massage will make it into the US version. :-)

Dani's picture

Love It

SO good...Emily looked so cute at the end!!! its weird Effy had like 3 seconds in the teaser...something big is going to happen to her and they aren't telling.
Anonymous's picture

I'm not sure but

I'm not sure but It seems like Naomi slept with Cook.
thenewzero's picture

You know, I could have sworn

You know, I could have sworn it looked like Emily possibly sleeps with Cook! Wasn't there a clip where he leads her into a room? I don't know. I'm thinking it's pretty unlikely their relationship will be smooth. Gotta have drama, right? Just hoping nobody actually jumps off of a building!
_myr_'s picture

finally!

I've been waiting a long time for a little video teaser...it looks like this season is going to be great, here mtvla just started broadcasting skins 1, it's a good thing that mexico is the same as UK when it comes to censorship :)
