'Shameless' season 9: Are things finally going to look up for Fiona in upcoming second half before Emmy Rossum quits?

Fiona, played by Emmy Rossum, is financially broke, physically injured, and heartbroken beyond repair, which raises the question: Are things ever going to really be okay for her?

With the sudden influx of all of TV's finest shows resuming with new seasons, or the latter half of the same season, there's one show in particular, whose return its fandom is dreading just as much as they are eager to witness the cliffhangers unfold.

Titled 'Shameless', the hit Showtime dramedy left off with the first half of its ninth season back in September 2018, and now, returning back with the season's second half, it will finally reveal the lead character, Fiona Gallagher's story come to an end as the face behind the character, Emmy Rossum, announced she quit a couple of months ago.
