Michelle [April Pearson] #4 - Your face saving promises, whispered like prayers, I don't need them





Like most aspiring actors, April Pearson has had to wait a long time for her big break. She'd been acting in the theatre for 14 years before she got her big break on TV, starring as 17-year-old Michelle in E4's new flagship drama Skins. Yet this is not another case of a thirtysomething being (mis-) cast as a teenager. Instead, the producers (the team behind Shameless) have been scrupulous about only casting teenagers in the lead roles. Teens playing teens: What a novelty!

This can only mean that Pearson started acting practically the moment she was conceived. She laughingly acknowledges that she first joined a drama group at the absurdly tiny age of three. Whether it's experience or just natural talent, her time in amateur dramatics has served her well, if her mature and funny performance as the sexually precocious but vulnerable teenager Michelle is anything to go by [x]

Another list I'm not on... Shame.

Add me. Especially after a s1-rewatch, I'm a fan of hers.

Definitely. She grew so much and became such a strong independent person.

Don't know if I've been asked to be added, but add me Michelle was my favourite from the beginning right up until the very end. Everyone goes crazy for Cassie, but I really began to dislike her during the second season. Michelle FTW!
