'Shameless' season 9 trailer reveals more than one shocking role-reversal and the Gallaghers in all their messy glory

Debbie is turning into Fiona, Fiona has turned into Frank, and Frank is possibly turning into a father once again. There truly is too much going on with the Gallaghers!

Showtime has finally gifted fans of its hit dramedy, 'Shameless', an official trailer for the upcoming second half of season nine, and honestly speaking, there's just way too much going on with the Gallaghers. Agreed, that's nothing new, considering the Gallaghers are always up to a lot of debauchery and seriously messed up activities in every season, but what sets apart the latter bit of season nine is the intense role-reversal going on.

With Emmy Rossum quitting the show after her ninth and final season, there's been a lot of speculation on how the showrunners would potentially put a wrap on her character, Fiona Gallagher. But in all of our dreams and imaginations, we never thought Fiona would come full circle by pulling a legit Frank Gallagher (William H. Macy), her father.
