'Shameless' season 9 gives Ian Gallagher the most perfect goodbye fans could have imagined for him

There was some roughhousing with baby brothe, Carl, and a massive heart to heart with older brother, Lip. But the best part of all for Ian, was seeing the true love of his life.

Showtime's hit dramedy, 'Shameless' might be messed up in a lot of ways, but if there's one thing it knows how to do top-notch, it's the way it says goodbye to its most iconic characters. And no, we aren't talking about the strange disappearance of Svetlana, or Mandy, or even Karen for that matter. Ardent fans and followers of the show would know the goodbye in discussion here is that of Ian Gallaghers, as Cameron Monaghan had announced right ahead of the recently aired episode 6 about his departure from the show.

This came shortly after Emmy Rossum - the true blue Gallagher matriarch, Fiona - herself had announced her own exit post this ongoing ninth season, but we don't have to worry about that for the time being. As of now, let's just try to wrap our heads around the way 'Shameless' writers wrote Ian off, and if you're betting your money on some sweet, savory Gallavich reunion, you are absolutely right!
