'Shameless' season 9: Things just keep getting worse for Fiona Gallagher ahead of Emmy Rossum finally quitting the show
We are halfway through season 9 of Showtime's hit dramedy 'Shameless', and the fandom has already seen a lot. After two back to back announcements of major characters quitting the show - first Emmy Rossum and then Cameron Gallagher - you'd think fans would be conditioned to the sh*tstorm that the writers throw our way, but no. Clearly, Emmy quitting the show isn't going to be a walk through the park for her character, Fiona Gallagher, unlike the easy breezy fate that Cameron's character, Ian, was gifted. For Fiona, things just keep getting murkier and grittier as the season progresses, and just because this is Emmy's last season on the show, doesn't mean the writers are going to go easy on her with her luck on the romance front.
For those clueless, as the Gallaghers would like to remind viewers ahead of every episode in the recap section, "what were you even doing? Go watch the last episode now." But we are more generous than them, so here's what happened. Episode 6, aka "Face it, You're Gorgeous" showed Fiona Gallagher go through one of the worst days of her life, and to sum it up - she's so far beyond rock bottom that it's not even funny anymore. She's broke, she's injured, and she's heartbroken - the holy trinity of crisis situations.
