'Shameless' may never recover from its Emmy loss, but here are 7 reasons why Rossum was too good for the Showtime show

Emmy Rossum wrote in a long, heartfelt Facebook post that she's officially quitting the show after nine long seasons and to be honest - it has been devastating to say the least.

For 'Shameless' fans all over the planet, it was a fine morning in August until a few hours ago. All of us were basking in the anticipation of the upcoming ninth season. We were excited about being reunited with our favorite, messy, and dysfunctional family on screen - The Gallaghers. We were just going about our day wondering what insanity the bunch is up to, and how exactly the eldest Gallagher sibling, Fiona, is going to manage and clean up their mess this time - but all of that was snubbed, abruptly too, with the announcement of their no longer being a Fiona post season 9 anymore. Emmy Rossum, who's the face behind the character, wrote in a long, heartfelt Facebook post that she's officially quitting the show after nine long seasons and to be honest - it has been devastating, to say the least.

See, what you must know about Fiona Gallagher is that she's that elder sibling slash mother figure role who exudes comfort, even though she's a hot mess. One look at Fiona - and if you're anything like me - you just know she's got your back. Sadly, however, the entertainment industry didn't seem too keen on having her back. Why? Because they robbed her of the recognition she has rightfully earned after giving her blood, sweat, and soul to the Showtime dramedy for almost a decade.
