Her ending is not perfect, but her performance has always been. Thanks for the show

[@nottelling998]

Nothing on that show was ever perfect, but she had to leave. The kids are all grown up, she was in her 30s and not living. It was her time to get out and do something for herself.

[@XMetalMatter]

The ending was good. It shows that she can come back on the show, if she wants to.

[@Dave-hs6jl]

I don't know if im making any sense but i too felt that Fiona's character could have gotten a proper goodbye but the fact that it was not perfect makes it even more real and powerful and emotional if you get what I mean....like with Frank....he could have had better lines for her farewell but they stuck to the character and still managed to portray some bitter yet powerful emotions .......so my point being that the fact that the ending for her was imperfect was in some ways perfect.......or maybe I'm just going crazy (forgive me I just finished watching season 9)🥺

[@maurisanto7973]

@BROTHER DYSTOPIAN everything, she went from self made well composed caring and loving family woman to a drunk failure who's life is in shambles but has money and has no direction and the worst part is the never showed her get better ,a whole polar opposite to her personality and then just like that she vanished . I say its because she was gonna leave and the producers just wanted to ruin her character, the closet thing to just killing her off

That would have sucked. He was a piece of shit, and he proved it on many occasions. At the end, they left it open for her to move on and live a good life and become whoever she wanted. Not step backwards into some garbage that she had already moved past.

[@siddhant...]

Honestly they've stretched the show out so badly, that I don't even feel sad about the character leaving. Feels like it should have ended 2 seasons ago. Problem is how any of the characters can't become financially stable or successful in their field because then they won't be poor. So they've sabotaged everything Fiona ever did, they sabotaged Lip's college. And after a point it feels exhausting to see.

[@aseelshahin274]

I agree 100%. It was repetitive and quite annoying.

[@isheykakouche2099]

Whole point of the show that can’t escape the roots of the family and who they are unless they leave the show

[@FanaticDrummer]

It should end with Season 10. Good even number. Some of the kids eventually have ti make something of themselves before Frank dies. And if they leave one by one and the script tries to force in new leads that are subpar it will tank the potential of just wrapping with a solid season. Sadly its one of those situations where if Frank died, I feel like the family would all be at peace, and go their separate ways finally. Fiona was a big loss, but it was written very well. No bitterness or distaste in how her character was treated in the end. And with that money, it would be a good beginning if at the end they all leave Chicago and get out finally and go on with their lives.

Mr. Macy handle this interview very well. He was classy and tactful about the subject. Unlike his costar who played Debbie in the series and she was intent on throwing Emmy under the bus by saying only bad things about her. She didn't realize it only made her look bad and jealous of Emmy. The truth is the writers did not handle Fiona's departure well. The last two seasons I kept watching waiting to see or hear anything about Fiona. There was nothing. They could have handled it by having a an article in the paper or in a magazine or anything with news of her great success. They could explain the lack of phone calls by saying she felt too close to her family and a phone call would make her want to come back. But no there was nothing. I would not have watched the last two seasons had I known there would never be anything about Fiona again. I know the rest of the cast did they're very best. but the truth is they did not take up the slack from Fiona . They did their thing. But the show was missing Fiona.

Rossum was an "It Girl" in the early 2000s who was being cast in big budget films, but only a couple of them were huge hits and Rossum was a supporting character in all but one. Hollywood did the math and moved on to other, younger, girls. Rossum joined a TV show not long after, which is what you do when you know you won't be in big movies again.
