I think that my favorite characters overall are CARL and FIONA. For Carl, he may have had a smaller role in the first seasons but I really think he is the best Gallaghers. Unlike the other Gallaghers, Lip especially, he has never given Fiona shit for like anything. He only was like annoyed when Fiona set rules when he was much older and able to take responsibility for his own expenses. I also love Fiona because, at the end of the day, she DID IT ALL. I feel like people look to much at later Fiona when she had a VALID CRASH OUT but don't look too much at first or second season Fiona who literally did everything (lots of jobs, good relationships with kids, helped bc Frank wasn't around, stood her ground when Monica came). Her struggling was a long time coming BUTTTTTTT she did handle it very well. I would say that S9 Fiona was better at recovering than alcoholic Lip honestly.

About all the Debbie hate. I LOVE Debbie pre teen pregnancy storyline. Remember how she was really really nice to Sheila and even frank? WHERE THE FRICKITY FRACKLE DID THAT DEBBIE GO. But, at the end of the day, she had a bad childhood bc of Frank and Monica and she isn't rlly evil. I think the thing she did that annoyed me the most was in S10 or 11 where she was just so annoying to Franny. I think she cares about her a lot but for example when she skips the line to see that wrestler lady with Franny to spy on Sandy I was just like WHYYYYY BROOOOOO. It was so selfish of her and I remember that she specified at the beginning of the episode how she was so excited about the big day they had planned but in reality she is just so selfish some of the time. I get that she had no childhood and how she was young and ignorant but her whole character just makes the WORST DECISION POSSIBLE at every choice she faces.

Another one of my hotish takes is that I honestly think that Sierra was rlly good and that Tami was really good for Lip. I thought that pre Tami, Sierra was pretty good for Lip and if he didn't have the habit of messing up everything as soon as it starts to be healthy and good they could have been endgame honestly. BUT I do like Tami and she is a good fit for Lip. In the beginning I thought she was just like a bit too over the top in her whole meany act but afterwards, I thought she balanced well with Lip and I genuinely saw their chemistry.

THE BEST RELATIONSHIPS WERE KEV AND V (obvi) and GALLAVICH OMG! Kev and V always figure stuff out and truly love each other. I don't even think I need to explain more but they are the one good constant in this show. Gallavich had it's ups and downs but I honestly think that season 4-5 were their peak and 10-11 were kinda forced. Mickey is also like my fav

also here's my tier list rate it!

Im doing a rewatch of the show after a few years and it's crazy to me the first couple of episodes how much more the kids seem to care about Frank. When he goes missing and they are all calling and trying to find out what happened to him as opposed to the end when they never care if he's missing at all. I know the show was trying to mimic the UK version initially so do you think that's the only reason or over the seasons was there a natural progression to them caring less and less. Also, side not. Seeing Debbie this sweet makes me SO SAD because of how she turns out. Breaks my heart for her honestly, even if I don't like her in the later seasons.

Mickey: This ain’t Macy’s, Bitch, you ain’t window shopping 😂

When we first meet Jimmy-Steve's family, that blonde chic kisses him and his brother comments how Jimmy is hitting that. Who the hell was that chic? I found no info on her on the wiki and as a first-time viewer I am super confused....

Carl becoming a cop was stupid and so was the one about Fiona's laundromat investment.

Does anyone have a real solid definitive answer about the way Emmy Rossum left the show? Not her character Fiona, that’s clear as crystal. I mean the real life actress. I hear a lot of back-and-forth about how she might’ve been behaving in a way that made her disliked by the cast members and no one was really sad to see her go but part of me wants to believe that that’s not true. That, maybe, playing a troubled character her last seasons (8&9) was affecting her mentally and is the real reason she ended up leaving despite the rumors stating she left to work on “other projects”

Season 8 Ian is one of the most stupid and annoying characters in any TV show... ever

Besides the obvious choice of Fiona, I would choose Monica. I love the drama that follows her everywhere she goes.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a Gallavich fanfiction called Everybody Talks that was deleted off ao3. Anyone happen to download it??

I’m on season 7 ep 4 again Fiona wanted the responsibility of being the main guardian of the kids (minus Ian and lip bc their adults) and have franks parental rights be terminated, but now wants nothing to do with the responsibility of the kids and make them pay for rent knowing Carl gave her the money for the house and Debbie has a kid and expects two kids in middle school and high school to pay for rent and doesn’t want to be their emergency contacts is ridiculous. I don’t think I’ll ever like her character.

I just began watching shameless, I’m currently on season 4 ep 6, and I honestly hate Fiona so much. As much as she prides herself the kids are the way they are because of the environment she allows. She allows drugs, alcohol, and sex to be done in her house. Even in front of Debbie ,Carl, and Liam. She blames frank way too much for her issues when in reality it’s her. She stayed with Steve /jimmy even though he was a tool and cheated on her rather then being with the cop who treated her well and ended up getting dumped twice for a quick fuck and blowjob. Then got with her boss and fucked his brother and blamed it on “I didn’t deserve you” that doesn’t mean you fuck a family member, and letting Liam get into her coke. She isn’t a good person nor good character.

So, a long while back while watching Shameless I realised something... In S7E7 Ian and Trevor start dancing to DMX (X gon give it to ya) and to this day I can't help but ask myself why??? Just listen to DMXs song 'Where the hood at', it is so homophobic! Like, why would anyone intentionally let the gay chracter on their show dance to his music?

[Verse 1] Man, cats don't know (What?) what it's gon' be Fuckin' with a nigga like me D to the M to the X (X) Last I heard, y'all niggas was havin' sex (Uh) with the same sex (Woo) I show no love (Yeah) to homo thugs (Nah) Empty out, reload, and blow more slugs (Boom) How you gonna explain fuckin' a man? Even if we squash the beef, I ain't touchin' your hand (Aight?) I don't fuck with chumps (Yeah) For those that been to jail, that's the cat with the Kool-Aid on his lips and pumps (Uh) I don't fuck with niggas that think they broads Only know how to be one way, that's the dog (Woo) I know how to get down, know how to bite (Bite) Bark very little, but I know how to fight (Fight) I know how to chase a cat up in a tree Man, I'll give y'all niggas the business for fuckin' with me Is you crazy?

I couldn't find any reaction to this online so I thought I would just ask.

So I was watching the new couple seasons of Shameless that was recently released on Shameless SPOILER AHEAD And I got to season 11 eps 11 and frank overdoses seems like he was trying to kill himself and the next episode comes where they find him they gather basically everyone to stare at him and do NOTHING Vee decided to stab him with one of his used needles and the entire time all I can think is "Why is that the former paramedic doesn't even think to use narcan which is literally the go-to for any obvious heroin dose" which is Ian and "How does Vee think it's OK to put a used needle into a body which can easily give someone HIV after she used to be a nurse?" This just boggles my mind after being a former addict are the writers really this ignorant when this country is in a huge opioid epidemic? At least give some kind of small lesson in this of what to do when someone overdoses besides stare and watch there's an easy solution to that and they give it away for free! Narcan is everywhere!

[spoilers]

Rapist

Gold digger

Emotionally manipulative

Controlled the money unfairly even tho it was obvs for the fam

Stole a baby

Stole people’s strollers

Tried to drown someone

Bullied and antagonised a fucking widow after she just went there to get money then called dead derek a dick for not leaving 100000 to the kid he was FORCED into (which personally I consider assault) and that was after she didn’t let him see the kid not to mention we all know most the money was going to fancy clothes and shit

And nobody give me that shit about her environment growing up because as feminists love to say that’s “rape culture”

Now any support who didn’t down vote and ignore my points what makes Ian,Micky,lip or Kevin anywhere that bad (just saying my fav characters)

Now for any other Karen/Mandy/Debbie supporters (to be clear the characters are good I mean people who think there actions aren’t as bad or just evil compared to others in the show) back up your arguments as to why you support them in genuinely interested

I watched S11E08 last night and I am still laughing at this!

Kevin: (trying to convince V to get up) But now it's time to carpet denim.

V: What?

Kevin: Carpet denim. It's latin for "wake up"!

HAHAHA, OMG. Of course, he refers to:

carpe diem

1. used to urge someone to make the most of the present time and give little thought to the future.[seize the day]

Kevin is just so sweet, I also remembered when he got mugged because he was pretending that the money is his big dong. What a tool, love him!!

Thanks for reading :)

Okay so I believe it was Debbie but it’s a quote about how Monica leaves and comes back and Debbie still forgives her because it’s her mom.. does anyone remember how the quote goes? It’s like I have it on the tip of my tongue but I can’t seem to spit it out

On my showtime via hulu I have ep 1,2,3,4 and then 94. I'm guessing this is completely separate from the new season. Found it super boring and skipped the whole thing once I realized it's nothing but clips we have seen for the entire episode
