Kaya Scodelario won global acclaim for her portrayal of rebellious teen Effy Stonem on “Skins,” but when it came time to reprise the character on a two-episode spinoff of the acclaimed British series, the actor was sure to lay down some personal boundaries.

Speaking to The Guardian in an interview published Monday, Scodelario recalled balking at the script for “Skins: Fire,” which aired as part of the series’ seventh season in 2013 and followed a grown-up Effy as she went to work for a London hedge fund.
