Some of which include her choice of paramours, from casual flings to serious relationships. Without a stable parent figure in her life, Fiona often times turned to fleeting temporary pleasures for comfort.įor nine seasons we got to see Fiona Gallagher make some extremely questionable life choices. Most sympathize with Fiona's questionable life choices, as she was forced to grow up too fast. From the first season, we watch his daughter, Fiona Gallagher, take over the reins of the parent and guardian of her siblings. The patriarch of the family, Frank is an inebriated and calculating but lovable character. Or maybe even her own show? One can only dream.Shameless mainly centers on the very dysfunctional but somewhat relatable Gallagher clan. Hey, maybe it won’t be half as bad as fans are expecting, but I’ll keep hoping for Rossum’s comeback or guest appearance. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about Rossum’s leave because she’s moving on to new projects, so I look forward to seeing how Fiona says goodbye to her family and how “Shameless” succeeds without her. That piece of their family will be long gone without Fiona. But, the Gallaghers are known for needing a guardian to keep them straight, even when they’re adults.
Yes, as people grow up, they become more independent and less reliant on their parents. However, even if he took on some of the parental responsibilities Fiona had, he is incapable of doing so correctly, leaving them with no parental figure in their lives. Whether Frank will be more present in the family’s life is unknown.
However, his track record does not appear promising. It’s difficult to tell whether the father’s character, Frank, will step up and take a parental role. People never stop learning, but when Fiona goes her own way, the characters and fans will both be learning a little less than they would have if Fiona’s role of big sister were to continue. However, it will not be as entertaining without Fiona, with her humorous and wild reactions.įiona has so much more to teach her siblings and “Shameless” viewers as she keeps growing, finding herself and learning from past mistakes. Fans can still watch the other characters, their decisions and their mistakes. When she makes decisions based on those instincts, you learn from the outcomes just like she does in each episode. In the show, you’re able to see what Fiona thinks is right and wrong.
(Not to mention that the audience has taken some of her good advice as well.) On top of that, not only does the character of Fiona act like a sister toward her fictional siblings, but Rossum has been a sister to the actual cast, supporting them and giving them sisterly advice.
It is an attitude no other character possesses quite like she does, and one that will be dearly missed when she’s gone from the show. While each character is unique in their own way, Fiona lights the show up with her spunky and fierce attitude. She brought her character to life with original personality, despite the fact that Rossum is very different from Gallagher in her own life, which she mentioned once in an interview. I am one of those doubters of the future success of the show for a variety of reasons, all pertaining to the parting of Rossum’s Fiona.įirst, I bet you’ll agree that Rossum is a kick-ass actress who nailed the role of Fiona Gallagher. However, I soon came to realize that, as both of these expectations were true but not entirely defining of the show, the eldest sibling Fiona was going to be the center of attention in each episode with her chaotic romances and her parental responsibilities toward her younger siblings: Lip, Ian, Debbie, Carl and Liam.īecause Rossum’s character plays a major role in the show, the future of “Shameless” isn’t looking good, and many fans took to social media to express their expectations of the show’s lack of an enthralling storyline in upcoming episodes. When I first started watching “Shameless,” I thought the show was going to be centered around the Gallagher kids, or instead, the drunken, nowhere-to-be-found father, Frank.
