'Shameless' season 9: Are Fiona and Ford finally getting back together?
Showtime's hit dramedy 'Shameless' is back from its mid-season hiatus with the latter half of season nine, and while the mid-season premiere was confusing and not all that surprising, the upcoming episode 9 has some heavily packed drama in store for viewers. At the center of several dramatic subplots playing out simultaneously will be Fiona's relationship with her Irish hunk of an ex-boyfriend, Ford, which leaves us with the biggest question of all: With Fiona's story coming to an end once Emmy Rossum quits after season nine, does the character end up with Ford?
Fiona (Rossum) - much like her past relationships - had started off with Ford as a non-exclusive hook up since he was a tenant in the same apartment building Fiona had bought. From sharing homes in the same apartment building to moving in together, Fiona and Ford's relationship had been a joyride compared to her past investments in matters of love. Ford seemed much more mature than the reckless abandon of Jimmy/Steve who just ended up stringing Fiona along for the longest time. And unlike disturbing episodes of heroin addiction that came with her almost-husband, Sean (Dermot Mulroney), Ford was sorted in those departments. He didn't even have the toxic lack of trust that Fiona's accidental short-term husband Gus did, so watching him finally treat Fiona right was good for a change.
