With the mid-season finale of 'Shameless' season 9 still fresh in our minds, and as the wait for the second half of the season begins, fans and followers are stringing on to the last bit of hope that maybe not all is lost for Fiona Gallagher yet. Ahead of Emmy Rossum's official exit from the show, which is after this season's finale, speculations and fan theories have flown in regarding what the end will hold for such a pivotal character - the linchpin of sorts, the matriarch that has borne the Gallagher story for nine successful years. And trying to answer every question from fans, about whether Fiona will receive her final 'happy ending' or not, is executive producer Josh Wells.
