[ ] I have voted on ALL unstamped applications.
(If you don't vote on all unstamped applications, you will not be stamped. So, please vote!)
The Ainsworths consist of Cassie, her mother (Magritte), her father (Marcus) and her baby brother (Reuben). Her parents are explicitly affectionate in front of Cassie and they tend to neglect Cassie and her baby brother.
The Campbells consist primarily of Naomi and her mother (Gina). They live a very hippie lifestyle, her mother encourages communal living which is why the Campbell house usually have many guests over. They do share a somewhat close mother and daughter relationship and Naomi takes after her mother in certain ways (apart from appearances).
The Cooks consist of James, Paddy (brother), Ruth (mother) and Cook Sr. (father). They don't have a close knitted relationship apart from Cook and his brother. His parents are separated and varsely differentb - Cook's mother is an artist living a somewhat modern lifestyle while his dad is uncouth and living by himself.
The Fazers consist of Jal herself, her father (Ronnie), her M.I.A mother and her two brothers (Ace and Lynton). Jal's father has very high expectations of her and Jal often feels pressurized by this expectations. Her father and brother seem to get along better. When Jal's mother makes an appearance, Jal is unforgiving towards her despite her sincere facade.
The Fitchs consist of twin sisters Emily and Katie, their little brother James, their mother Jenna and their father Rob. Despite the quarrels they get into, they seem to be the most closely knitted family in Skins. However, Jenna is quite narrow-minded and over protective with the twins and at times, might seem to favour one of them. Their father, Rob on the other hand, is more understanding and laid back despite his causing the family troubles financially. James, Katie and Emily's little brother is michievous and vulgar but shares a close bond with his sisters.
The Jenkins consist of Sid, his father (Mark) and his mother (Liz). Although Sid was not very close with his dad at the start, he grew closer with him when he opened up about Cassie. Their family looked happy for a moment, bright with the possibility that Liz might even get back together with Mark, but things change when Mark passes away suddenly.
The Kharrals is an Islamic family that is very religious. They consist of Anwar, his father (Istiak), mother (Bibi) and his three other sisters. Although strict in terms of religion, Bibi is very supportive of her son (as shown by how she doesn't scold or yell at him with regards to his disappointing exam results but instead comforts him). Anwar's father, Istiak approves greatly of Maxxie as Anwar's best friend and is surprisingly okay with Maxxie being a gay. The family is somewhat jovial and fun-loving.
The McLairs consist of Freddie, his sister Karen and his father Leo. After Freddie's mother passing, Freddie's relationship with his father has become quite strained. But, Leo genuinely cares for his children's well-being. He cares deeply for Freddie, but disapproves of his lifestyle. Freddie and Karen despite not getting along at times have a very close bond and loves each other very much.
The Moons consist of Pandora and her mother Angela. Her father was never shown. Pandora's kookiness can be shown in her family. Her mother is extremely wound up, and seems adamant on not letting Pandora "go wild" however she herself is doing precisely what she's telling Pandora not to.
The Olivers consist of Maxxie, and his mother Jackie and his father Walter. His father is very supportive of his son and stands up for him when Maxxie is subjected to homophobic abuse. Like Maxxie, his father and even his dog dance in their spare time, although Maxxie struggles to convince his dad to let him drop his A Levels and audition for musicals in London. Eventually, Walter has had much time to reflect on his relationship with his son, they agree that he will at least continue his A Levels, even if he does not join his father as a builder afterwards as Walter would prefer.
The Richardsons consist of Michelle, her mother Anna, her step-father Ted (and her slutty step sister Scarlett). Michelle has a close relationship with her mum Anna, in spite of their clashes sometimes. Michelle cares deeply for her mother, as shown by her annoyance at her mother's ex-boyfriend Malcolm, whom she felt was using her mom. But, Michelle does not seem to approve of her step-father and her step sister.
The Stonems consist of Tony, Effy, their mother Anthea and their father Jim. Tony and Effy share a close brother and sister relationship which can be seen by how Tony rushes to Effy's aid in times of trouble or how he often helps her cover up when she sneaks out. Effy constantly cared for Tony when he was recovering from the car accident. Their mother Anthea seems to be quite a mess herself, she neglected Effy a lot in the first few seasons and continued to do so even after Effy had her mental illness (she left Effy alone at home). Their father Jim doesn't have a good relationship with the family, Tony constantly undermines him and Effy doesn't give a hoot about him except when she finds out that her mother was cheating. In short, they're a terribly messed up family.
The Tomones consist of Thomas, his mother Kosoke, his brother Daniel and his sister Fumi. They recently migrated to Bristol and Thomas' mother strongly disapproves of Thomas' new friends and his lifestyle. Thomas has a close relationship with his siblings and he takes care of them constantly. His mother and his realtionship is rather strained as she constantly blames him after Thomas broke her trust.
The Jones consist of JJ, his mother, Celia and his father, Edward. Not much is known of his family except that they expect JJ to score well in his education, as seen when his parents were quizzing him questions on the dining table. It is also shown that Celia is stressed out with JJ's disease which shows that she has yet to accept JJ for who he is.
