'Shameless' season 9 could finally give Carl Gallagher the focus he deserves

The reason we are upholding Carl with such high expectations is that unlike his five other siblings and their father Frank, Carl (Ethan Kutkosky) is actually not back being messy
PUBLISHED JAN 11, 2019

When Showtime's hit dramedy 'Shameless' returns with the second half of its ninth season, once again, there is going to be ample excitement and speculation from fans regarding how the show's ever-so-messy and dramatic characters' plots unfold. We know they can get a little too extra and radical, and often end up in jail, but it won't be entirely wrong to expect the Gallaghers — in all their dysfunctional glory — to show certain bits of remorse or redemption. And topping all charts at that should be our very own Carl Gallagher (Ethan Kutkosky) because it's about time the show gave him the spotlight and character arc he deserves. 

The reason we are upholding Carl with such high expectations is that unlike his five other siblings, and even their deadbeat good-for-nothing scumbag of a father, Frank (William H. Macy), Carl is actually not back on his bullsh*t.
