Skins did anorexia well, but Hollyoaks did better IMO. Cassie's eating disorders weren't paid as much attention to in the second season.

You watched every single episode of skins and can't recall Cassie's anorexia? Are you sure you were watching the right programme?! haha... It was her main storyline pretty much all through the first series... :S

But i think Hollyoaks dealt with it better, in my opinion, Skins overlooked the seriousness of the issue and the extent of danger of it wasn't portrayed very well. Also, it didn't really show Cassie recovering... except when they showed her with a burger but cut off before she bit into it. Love skins though!!

hollyoaks definately, it explored the different aspects a lot more than skins, how it affects the family, alienating yourself from your friends etc. Plus when skins started Cassie already had an eating disorder. The holloaks story dealt with it on a more emotional level, and in skins it was just a fact that cassie had it, as someone has already said.
