Emmy Rossum abruptly quits Showtime's 'Shameless' after nine seasons, here's why

Taking to social media on Thursday, the 31-year-old actress broke the news, confirming that she is indeed parting ways with 'Shameless' - a popular adaptation.

As the eldest and more stable Fiona Gallagher from the hit Showtime comedy 'Shameless', Emmy Rossum has entertained and moved audience for the past nine seasons. However, her time with the messy Gallagher brood might be finally coming to an end, after the actress, in an unexpected move, announced her departure from the long-running series. 

Taking to social media on Thursday, the 31-year-old actress broke the news, confirming that she is indeed parting ways with 'Shameless' - a popular adaptation of the British series, which premiered back in 2011. 

"It’s a hard thing to put into words, feelings. But I’m going to try," Rossum began, explaining the reason behind her sudden exit from the award-winning comedy.
