It's never a boring season for the Gallagher men, but looks like this fall will be particularly exciting for the rowdy bunch as they kick-start their ninth installment on the popular Showtime show, 'Shameless.' And the said excitement will be courtesy two ravishing new beauties - Katey Sagal and Courtney Cox - both of whom have been reported to join the cast of the comedy-drama. 

The 'Sons of Anarchy' star, Sagal, and 'FRIENDS' alum, Cox, will be guest starring alongside the shows' main cast - all of whom are returning this season, by the way, so it's suggested that fans and viewers of the show buckle up for this especially bumpy ride that's about to hit in a couple of weeks' time. 

As Variety reported, Sagal will be joining the show as the recurring character Ingrid - a crazed psych patient - who catches Frank's (William H. Macy) eyes. Why doesn't that surprise us! And while you all can contemplate whether the not-so-beloved patriarch should really go for a prospective Monica 2.0, his eldest son doesn't seem to be doing any better either.
