'Shameless' creator John Wells on how Emmy Rossum's Fiona will exit the show: "We're not going to hit her with a bus!"

Right ahead of its ninth season's remiere, 'Shameless' actor, Emmy Rossum, announced that she'll be quitting the show after this season.
PUBLISHED SEP 26, 2018

It's been weeks since Emmy Rossum's sudden announcement of leaving Showtime's popular dramedy - 'Shameless' - broke fans' hearts worldwide; meanwhile here, we're still trying to cope and process the shock. It has crashed so heavily on fans that most of them haven't been able to enjoy the show's ninth season properly ever since its premiere three weeks ago. Because no matter how messy, ridiculous and radical the Gallaghers might get, the overbearing realization of this being Emmy aka Fiona Gallagher's last season on the series keeps pricking every now and that. And that has raised the inevitable question: How exactly will Emmy/Fiona depart from the show?

True, we have done a pretty neat speculation of possible ways to exit Fiona from the show in the past, but 'Shameless' creator John Wells, and actor William H. Macy - who plays the role of Frank (Fiona's good-for-nothing father) on the show - finally have some concrete hints for us.
