Fiona was gone by second season of Shameless UK, the fact that they kept Ms.Rossum as a primary character for most of the series should show her importance to the story.

[@kevinintheusa8984]

We loved it when it first came on but as seasons progressed we started losing interest in it. We popped in on season 11 and it is a shell of the former show. The actress playing Debbie is passable but she is no Emmy Rossum. It should have ended when Emmy left.

I used to love the Shameless series; however, I stopped watching around 2017/2018 because it just started going downhill and wasn't interesting anymore. It was palpable that the writers were running out of steam and were lacking quality ideas for storylines. The series was in its prime during the first four or five seasons and I couldn't get enough of it. My husband and I watched it religiously. It was hysterically funny, but it also had some great drama. Joan Cusack leaving was a huge loss. The series was never the same after she left. She played the Sheila character remarkably well and brought so much humor. As more and more of cast members gradually started leaving the series, it just became incredibly dry and boring. It wasn't holding my attention at all like it used to. I really think that they forced this series to keep going well past its prime. They should have ended while they were on top.

Ya’ll talking about how Fiona should’ve been paid more. William H Macy is a veteran A list actor. As I’m writing this im not sure what Fioanas real name is as, we’ve only ever known her because of shameless. It’s not about Will being a man. It’s about him being the biggest star on the set.

[@Charles01343]

Fiona and ian are the reasons i watch this series

[@jayshawn8033]

And Mickey, Carl, and Liam

[@madeleinej99]

yep me too, gallavich carried the show for me, they deserved so much more screen time!

[@rumblefish9]

Ian and Mickey for me. Fiona's relationships got old pretty fast.

[@nickyoung6110]

I still wish Emmy would’ve at least popped in for season 11

[@kill4nitaly]

i heard that she was supposed to but she was pregnant and at high risk for covid so it was too dangerous to film togther

[@brandonhinrichs387]

I hope she's back for the finale at least

[@mandysworld_yt]

I could understand them uping Ian’s actors pay because they already lost the actress who plays Fiona I mean losing two Gallagher’s that people favor? They’d be kinda in trouble

[@jrainey4002]

I love that they gave Fiona’s character closure but she was my fav ❤️I wish she would’ve stayed to the series finale 😩

[@glitterfilledsoul5238]

I’ll prob catch hell for saying this but season 11 Shameless US version has so far aired 4 episodes, 2 of which was solely based around the issues going on in the world this last year. I’m sorry but isn’t a tv shows job to make us laugh & escape the worries of the world?? This season is just making us relive that dumpster fire of a year and I personally could do without that. Give us the Shameless we know and love!!

[@Commenter5651]

They have nothing left creatively for the show, so they are just copying whatever is going on in reality.

If you pay attention shameless has always given us entertainment as well as touch bases with real world issues. The show is very political and informing. I didn't even know what gentrification was lol

It's crazy to realize how sad the ending of this show was for me.i started re watching it last night and almost couldn't... 😩

[@johndoe-ox7ns]

People are quick to jump to sexism and inequality when it comes to pay difference without recognizing other factors. In any profession seniority and accolades play a huge role in salary. William H Macy has been acting since before Emmy Rossum was even born and has been nominated for an academy award. It’s not the patriarchy.

[@penske_material]

He's just a way better actor and the reason a lot of people watched the show. Personally when I saw that an actor like him decided to star on a show, I immediately assumed it was good. That and the crush I had on Emmy Rossum lol. But his presence was what made me interested in actually watching the show.

I'm hoping everyone is back for the final episode! I'm going to miss the Gallagher's Family, Kev and V.. and hanging out at the Alibi.

[@ritalegere4522]

I never liked Kev and Vs role...other than their friendship and support of the Gallaghers and being nar owners, the roles were unnecessary. Sorry to say but the acting was sub par. Sheila brought layers upon layers of intrigue to the show. The only 2 people who kept me interested in the end was Liam and Frank and his best friends rel'p (Luiz Guzman). At this point, Season 10 Guzman leaving...it's like having a great weekend party and then everyone goes home and it's boring and kind of empty. I don't even care if I continue watching. V and Kevin are getting on my nerves...a little overboard.

[@vinnievee5710]

It went downhill after they write out jimmy steve. In my mind Fiona still ended up with him in the end. That being said they never should have let Emmy leave because after she did I knew the show was doomed. They focused more on Debbie as the lead female character and she was so damn unlikeable. Also, Sheila was the best character for me. Joan cusack was so hilarious

[@penske_material]

For real, they should have let go of Debbie and given her salary to Emmy as a raise 😂 Debbie was the most insufferable character on that show by far, and she kept on getting worse and worse later on. But I guess in real life the actress who played Debbie got along with the rest of the cast and crew and Emmy didn't

[@nikib71017]

Shameless was a very different/better show back in the Steve/Jimmy days. It's still always been really good, and above average compared to a lot of other shows over the years, but the first few season were WAY BETTER.

[@2maywjeat]

Fiona carried that show

[@Yvettee214]

As shitty as Frank was as a father it still hurt me that he died the way he did. I really wish Fiona was apart of the season finale.

[@jd-putts]

I couldn't stand Fiona's martyrdom and her constant reminding everyone of her contributions to the family were so annoying as her flaws caused almost as much disruption as Frank.

Cameron Monaghan most likely wanted to leave so he could pursue other projects, like Gotham for instance. He also did the mo-cap for a video game in his time off as well, that Star Wars RPG I haven't played yet.

The most underrated actor that should’ve gotten appearances would be Jeffrey dean morgan idk much about why he only had one episode other than being in other things but i think he could’ve had a hell of a run for atleast 1 or 2 seasons

[@biglean4137]

Idk about you guys but every single episode of shameless is good. Like all of them. Even without Fiona, the show handles itself really well.
