"One current cast member could be kept if the show is renewed, it's been revealed.

Popular teen drama, Skins, is notorious for changing its cast every two years and this year is no different. At the end of season four, which starts this Thursday, the current cast will leave the show, making room for an entirely new batch of talent. Well, a nearly all-new cast. The show has maintained consistency in the past by keeping one character (Effy) across seasons, and the show's co-creator has confirmed plans to do the same if another series is ordered -- this time with pervy brother James Fitch.

Alas, the current main characters will be exiting, as expected, at the end of the upcoming series. But, speaking in front of a packed preview screening in London yesterday, Jamie Brittain, who helps pen the show, admitted that it's "possible" they'll bring James Fitch back if the show's renewed. An announcement his colleague, executive producer Bryan Elsey, joked: "Well, we'll have to now. Won't we?"

Fitch, played by young actor Redd Smith, has been little seen in the series so far. The character, who is Katie and Emily's younger brother, has only made cameos in which he's seen spying on his showering sisters and continuously swearing. This lack of early screen time was also true for Kaya Scodelario's part, Effy, who went from a mute character in season one to the main one in season three. We reckon you should expect to see much more of him this coming season, which starts on E4 at 10pm on Thursday, January 28."
