Making an impact. Emmy Rossum won over audience’ hearts as Fiona Gallagher in Shameless, making her 2018 departure that much more emotional.
“Until Shameless came into my lifestyles 8 years ago, I led that kind of temporary wonderful life of an actor. And I by no means learned how a lot I in truth craved the kind of continuity that this show has given me. And given all people within the crew,” Rossum wrote in a lengthy good-bye put up by the use of Facebook in August 2018. “Season after season I’m amazed that our similar group comes again. And it’s no longer just because it’s a perfectly written, splendidly layered display. There are these actual connections, actual friendships that carry us again season after season after season.”
The director, who joined the drama collection right through its collection debut in 2011, confirmed that she was leaving after nine seasons.
“I'm proud and I’m crammed with gratitude,” she noted on the time. “I know you're going to continue on with out me, for now. There is a lot more Gallagher story to be told. I will all the time be rooting for my circle of relatives. Try not to consider me as gone, simply think of me as transferring down the block.”
Two years after Fiona’s story arc was wrapped up on Shameless, the Showtime display ended its 11 season run. At the time, showrunner John Wells defined that Rossum did not reprise her role due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“We sought after her to return and had some tale strains about her coming again and she sought after to do it. Based on what used to be occurring with the pandemic, after we were planning it — there were such a lot of surges, I can’t take into account which one it used to be — but the quarantines went back into impact between New York [the place Rossum is living] and Los Angeles, and it was inconceivable to determine how one can get her back,” Wells told The Hollywood Reporter in April 2021 after Shameless aired its series finale. “That was the largest sadness: now not having the ability to make that work out because we all wanted it to happen. A very minor but sad results of everything that’s came about in the pandemic.”
Six months later, Emma Kenney, who performed Debbie Gallagher, mirrored on how her dynamic on set with Rossum had its ups and downs over the years.
“I was obviously so much younger,” Kenney explained all the way through an look on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in October 2021. “There had been times when [Emmy] would you should be a excellent affect, after which there were times the place she would be blatantly giving me … no longer the most efficient recommendation.”

The Connors big name published that she felt like a “weird competition” existed between her and Rossum, noting, “I don’t know if it was once folks on set growing that or if it was her developing it, however I do know I wasn’t growing it.”
Although Kenney wanted her former costar the most efficient, she couldn’t help but compare their professional relationship to a sibling one in “just right and unhealthy ways.”
