"Lara Pulver and Kayvan Novak are to appear in the final series of Skins. The Sherlock actress and Facejacker star will both appear opposite Kaya Scodelario (Effy) in Skins Fire.   Pulver will play Vanessa, a &amp;quot;ball-breaking business bitch&amp;quot;, while Novak has been cast as Jake, Effy&amp;#039;s wealthy new boss who she gets too close to.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s been fun for me to step into a very different style of TV show,&amp;quot; said Pulver. &amp;quot;But there&amp;#039;s actually kind of a parallel, as I&amp;#039;m joining Skins at a time when the show is also entering new territory, following these well-known and loved characters as they start the next chapter of their lives. &amp;quot;Playing opposite Kaya has been a lot of fun. We&amp;#039;re both playing strong-minded, ambitious women who are in the midst of very different stages of their lives. This causes friction between them and yet they can&amp;#039;t help but find compassion and an ally in one another.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Skins generation three not in final series, says Freya Mavor &amp;gt; Nicholas Hoult rules out return for Skins finale Pulver&amp;#039;s additional credits include Spooks, True Blood and the forthcoming Da Vinci&amp;#039;s Demons, while comic and actor Novak is best known for his Fonejacker and Facejacker series, as well as for appearing in Channel 4&amp;#039;s Sirens. Skins will return to E4 in early 2013 with three special two-part films - Skins Fire with Scodelario, Pulver and Novak, plus Skins Pure starring Hannah Murray (Cassie) and Skins Rise featuring Jack O&amp;#039;Connell (Cook).
