If you’re still recovering from the shock of last week’s Skins series six premiere, then just wait until this week’s Rich-centric instalment! Skins continues its latest season on Monday, June 25 th at 9:30pm on FOUR. Following the car crash, this week sees Professor Blood (Chris Addison) still banning Rich (Alex Arnold) from the hospital, and what’s more, he’s planning to take Grace (Jessica Sula) to Zurich to help her recuperate. “Rich’s episode basically chronicles the relationship Rich and Grace have together. There’s a lot of things that happen, that swing one way and then it swings another,” Alex Arnold explains.

“It’s quite a spooky episode in a way – not spooky as in horror film, but it’s always on edge,” the actor continues. As his friends try to keep R ich out of trouble, he is committed to Grace, and will stop at nothing to visit her in hospital. “Rich’s reaction is to be there all the time and to do whatever he can to be with Grace. That’s the thing that matters the most to him at that moment in his life.”

“It’s kind of make or break. It’s kind of either the making of something great in his character, or the decline,” Arnold continues. “[The episode] affects who he becomes later on and what he’ll get from life afterwards. So he’s on constant edge, and that’s really how he reacts.”

Returning to our screens with the third generation of characters who were first introduced to viewers last year, Skins’ producer Camilla Campbell says the series’ sixth season will feature “new friendships, secret relationships and sexual awakening” and suggests that the bonds between the characters will be “tested”.

“Having set up this new set of characters in the previous series, we can now go into more depth as to where their stories take us,” executive producer John Griffin explains. “With moral ambiguity, high drama, as well as a strong dose of comedy, Skins six will not disappoint.”

“We’re hugely excited about the fantastic mix of writers we have for Skins this year, some of whom are firsttime screenwriters,” Griffin continues. “They’ve spent the past few months developing exciting and challenging stories for our characters and we’re all very excited to see them realised onto the screen.”

Brand new to FOUR, Grimm sees Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) discover that he is a descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as “Grimms”, charged with keeping balance between humanity and the mythological creatures of the world. Grimm premieres on Monday, June 18 th at 8:30pm on FOUR. The Brothers Grimm wrote fairy tales that children have adored for generations, but imagine if their villains were real, and Nick was the only one who could stop them.

“Nick has always had this deep-down feeling he was different because he came from a weird family that was always on the move – he just didn’t know how different,” David Giuntoli explains about his new character. This week’s premiere, involving a series of Little Red Riding Hood crimes, will be followed by spins on Cinderella, Goldilocks, Snow White and the Three Little Pigs. As each story unfolds, “Nick buries himself deeper and deeper in lies because he must keep his true nature a secret,” Giuntoli says. “This job of mythic hero has been thrust upon him. He must go out and kill the bad monsters and protect the good ones, when he’d really rather be home watching movies with his girl.”
