'Shameless' season 9: Jeremy Allen White says 'the show is bigger than any of its characters'
White plays the role of Lip Gallagher on Shameless, who is the second-eldest Gallagher sibling, between Fiona (Emmy Rossum) and Ian (Cameron Monaghan.)
Even though Showtime's hit dramedy 'Shameless' premiered its season 9 earlier this month, weeks later, fans and followers of the show are still reeling over the shock of one of its most important characters, Fiona Gallagher, not continuing post this season as Emmy Rossum - who plays the role - is quitting the show. This was just amplified by the most recent news of yet another character following suit, as Cameron Monaghan, who plays the role of Ian Gallagher, recently announced his exit too. But while all of these quits have left fans devastated, Jeremy Allen White - aka everyone's favorite, Lip - would like to assure fans that the show is not ending.
