"Hannah Murray has said that she planned on saying no when she was approached about a return to Skins in the Skins Pure two-parter. The actress played Cassie in the first two years of the E4 drama and returns this year for one of the three stories for the show&amp;#039;s finale alongside guest stars Charlene McKenna (Ripper Street), Daniel Ben Zenou (Strike Back) and Red Madrell (Kidulthood).  &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Skins&amp;#039; final series: First look images, new guest stars revealed &amp;quot;I never thought I would come back. I was really clear in my head about that part of my life and playing that character being over,&amp;quot; Murray said. &amp;quot;There had been a few suggestions to bring people back and I didn&amp;#039;t think it was her that they&amp;#039;d choose. I had a meeting last year and I had an inkling that Bryan was going to ask me to come back.&amp;quot;      She added: &amp;quot;I was thinking this is going to be really awkward I&amp;#039;m going to have to say no! Then as soon as he pitched the idea to me for this story, my immediate gut feeling was that I wanted to do it and that really surprised me. &amp;quot;The ultimate process of making the decision was quiet simple, because I had such a strong gut reaction to do it. Even though I took a little while in properly deciding, I think I always knew that I did want to come back.&amp;quot; She added of the returning Skins: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s got a very different and more grown-up feel to it because of where the characters are now. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not trying to capture a group of friends, it&amp;#039;s trying to capture three individuals and there&amp;#039;s a lot less of the crazy hedonistic fun that we&amp;#039;ve seen in the past. It&amp;#039;s a bit more serious.&amp;quot;  Asked about what Cassie has been up to, Murray said: &amp;quot;Cassie has been in America and she&amp;#039;s been drifting around. When we see her in London again, she&amp;#039;s working in a caf\u00E9. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think she&amp;#039;s really worked out what she wants to do with her life yet. She&amp;#039;s also been with a boy in America. I will leave it up to the audience to decide who that could be.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s quite nice to leave that ambiguity because it could potentially be anyone. &amp;quot;I quite like that this story doesn&amp;#039;t give you too much information about where she&amp;#039;s been, I like that level of mystery and ambiguity.&amp;quot;  The new series will consist of three stories - Skins Fire,Skins Pure and Skins Rise. Skins Fire focuses on Effy (Kaya Scodelario) who uncovers a major financial fraud, while Skins Rise centres around Jack O&amp;#039;Connell&amp;#039;s character Cook, who is working as a drug dealer. Skins Series 7 DVD and the complete Series 1-7 boxset is available to own from August 12. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
