Jamie tells Kelly that Paddy's plan was to make the police think he was dead, so he could start again, and that he is now living in Thailand. However, he loses them as Stella wanted to stay with her father and took Ben with her. When Libby is released from prison, she tries to find him, but her upscale appearance causes various characters to warn Frank that the DSS is after him. However, Liam begins to realise he was wrong about Reggie and returns to apologise and sit with Reggie as he dies. Debbie was Liam's main caregiver and role model since Fiona's departure from Chatsworth in series 2, being the main nurturing influence in his life from the ages of four to ten. Paddy now has some grudging respect for the Gallaghers. Sheila suffers from agoraphobia and is a fan of daytime television, especially Countdown, finding it unbelievable that someone doesn't know who Carol Vorderman or Richard Whiteley are. Not knowing where else to go, Marty flees back to the Chatsworth and begins squatting in a flat once occupied by heroin addicts, and on the run from the CSA for not paying child maintenance. She describes herself as a "bulimic who can't stand vomit". Carl and Ian still have bad blood, with blood literally spilled for Ian as his attempt to tape a confession from Jimmy had ended in a beating. Much to Yvonne's frustration and dismay, Kash demands that Yvonne give him money. On 6 March 2010, it was announced that Sean Gilder had quit Shameless after five years with the show because of his rumored dislike of Tina Malone who portrays Mimi. Back at the Gallagher house, Debbie discovers Fiona left them $50,000 in a card put on the fridge, with nothing but a simple "love you" note as explanation. When he reveals to his parents that he wants to pursue further education, Paddy and Mimi (Tina Malone) ridicule him. Inside the house, Mandy had fought her way into the hallway and ran towards the door. It is also implied she knew her son Micky was gay all along, after she encourages him to leave the estate with a baby he has saved, which he does. Liam realized this was the same person whom earlier dressed as an army NCO to falsely inform them of Debbie's death. Frank lets Stella play while he finally takes an active role in caring for Ben by finally holding him and changing him. Stella's oldest sibling, Fiona McBride (Anne-Marie Duff), returns to Chatsworth with Carl and Lip, and attempt to make Frank and Monica see that their disastrous parenting is only going to damage Stella and Ben. However, his middle daughter Debbie shows sympathy throughout the series when her father is either in serious trouble or presumed dead, something which has happened three times to date. In the end, Fiona sees Stella and Ben will be fine in Frank and Monica's care, and they remain in Chatsworth. Ian begins to further withdraw and is unable to have sex with Maxine; during the time they do spend together, he becomes more paranoid about her feelings every time she mentions Carl. Between Series 78, Liam was the remaining Gallagher on the Chatsworth estate that possesses any sense of responsibility and maturity. He can offer good advice, for example saving Liam from being taken into care when a parent was needed. Therefore, Aidan spent his childhood with his mother, Sinead, who eventually had a breakdown before turning to drugs and prostitution, after she gets out of prison she blames all her shortcomings on Aidan, and after seeing how pathetic she really is, Patty allows Aidan to continue living in the Gallagher home. Paddy is extremely aggressive and violent and his presence puts fear into most people on the Chatsworth Estate. Fiona appeared in 19 episodes in total. Having initially been characterised as a strong-willed and capable woman, Norma increasingly portrayed as vulnerable and helpless. This came sudden and was unknown where they were until the TV report. Liam now attends a prestigious senior school. Maxine helps convince Jimmy's sister to go to the police, but there is little time for celebration as Ian continues to give her as well as Carl the cold shoulder. By this time Micky is in love with him and wants everyone to know. It is revealed that Aidan's father was a "Gypsy" who abandoned the family when Aidan was only a baby. In series 6, she clashes with her mother about her modelling career and becomes personal assistant to Lillian Tyler (Alice Barry) at her brothel, eventually moving in after an argument with Yvonne. Craig appeared in 5 episodes overall. Carol is also best friends with nosy neighbour Lillian Tyler (Alice Barry). Shane, overall, appeared in 114 episodes. Mimi gives birth to a newborn daughter, later named Cilla, at the end of Series 7 after complaining of stomach pains and nausea which scared her into believing she had started menopause. Ben Gallagher (born 1 December 2013) is the newborn son of Frank (David Threlfall) and Monica Gallagher (Annabelle Apsion), and Frank's tenth child. Despite this, Holly wanted to continue the relationship, but her comments against Frank hurt Liam's feelings, and cause him to leave with Frank. Shane demands that his father proves how sorry he is, and produces a syringe and a bag of heroin. However, Mandy decides to begin a serious relationship with Lip in order for Katie to have both her parents in her life, so she moves in with the Gallaghers, to the disappointment of Paddy and Mimi. Later, Dominic and his sister Gloria Meak (Angeline Ball) have a secret incestuous affair. Given his academic performance, the school determines Liam to be an exceptionally gifted pupil, which leads to him being awarded a special scholarship. It has not been mentioned what exactly the reasons were for his string of past convictions. He apparently suffered from epileptic fits when he was smaller, although this has never been seen. He returns in the series finale, along with Fiona and Carl where they arrive for the birth of their new brother Ben. While negotiating with Baxter their freedom, Monica returns to Chatsworth to take Stella's place in the hostage situation. It is possible that she went to live with Yvonne and Stan when they eloped to Pakistan. After coming out of a coma, Shane is left partially paralysed and bed-ridden. Several episodes later Karen and Connor's lives appear to be in danger, with Jamie receiving threatening phone calls and pictures of his family. He and Veronica are still together and seem to have been released by the Romanian authorities at some unspecified date. She also proves herself to be a good listener when she gives Carl Gallagher (Elliott Tittensor) advice, even though Carl makes it blatantly obvious that he does not like Norma and wants his mother. In the tenth series, after discovering that his children are still alive, Marty left Chatsworth to find them. Her cousin, Letitia Powell (Kira Martin) and her friend Aidan Croker (Robbie Conway) scheme to get Mary-Mae together with Chesney Karib (Qasim Akhtar). Bruce didn't return in Series 8, along with his sister. Kelly and Shane decided to give up on their plans and just be honorary parental figures for Liam, whom she has grown quite fond of. Frank's father shows extreme sympathy towards Sheila and even takes care of the twins. Maxine and Carl become a couple. During this time, her reluctance to get a job makes a little sense, but stealing other people's expensive strollers seems extreme. After Frank begins a three-way relationship with prostitutes Sherilee (Sarah Totty) and Derilee (Sue Vincent), Derilee's husband Baxter arrives at the Gallagher household and holds Frank, Stella and Derilee hostage at gunpoint. However, having discovered that Veronica's late father had left 5,000 to pay for his daughter's wedding, Veronica and Kev decided to go through with a sham wedding in order to get the wedding money. RELATED: Shameless: 10 Questions About Debbie Gallagher, Answered. The brothers often have to look out for each other more than any of the other characters, due to being party to each other's secrets. Katie is seen attending Mandy's funeral in Paddy and Mimi's care. She is the mother of Lip Gallagher's (Jody Latham) daughter, Katie. Vernon Francis "Frank" Gallagher (born 12 March 1960) is the main protagonist of Shameless. However, in more recent series, Paddy has begun to show a more compassionate side, and since series four, he has also become much more accepting of Lip, as well as Karen Jackson (Rebecca Atkinson), the wife of his oldest son Jamie (Aaron McCusker). However, he later returned for Fiona in the emotional finale of series two. She eventually invites him to her home and they get drunk and take cocaine. Paddy then attended Shane's and Kelly's wedding. Marty escapes back to the Chatsworth with the stolen orphan and suggests to Sue that they raise it as their own. Micky told Ian that he'd felt like a freak before he'd had Ian to look up to, and now Ian had taken that away. Throughout the series, Frank often lets Debbie down and seems to be unappreciative of her efforts to keep the family together. She apparently brought Frank up and rescued him from a life of misery at the hands of her son Neville (John Woodvine), Frank's father. Kelly and Shane break up and her and Marty start their lives together. Aidan Croker[18] (born 8 December 1995) arrives to the Chatsworth estate in the eighth series, and fills the void left by Liam Gallagher (Johnny Bennett). On Frank's escape, the pair stay unmarried and he eventually loses Libby in Episode 13 after cheating on her with Letitia Powell's (Kira Martin) headmistress (Annie Wallace). He is still stuck on the poverty line, working a food delivery job to support his girlfriend Tami and their son Freddie. Although it is never explicitly stated onscreen, she does possess a strong North East accent. Frank's oldest daughter, Fiona McBride (Anne-Marie Duff), returns to Chatsworth with Carl and Lip. In the end, he makes amends with his family and partakes in their activities. In the very beginning of the series Debbie is described by Frank as being "sent from the gods." However, we soon learn that description is a bit of an exaggeration. Frank has begun a three-way relationship with prostitutes Sherilee (Sarah Totty) and Derilee (Sue Vincent), Derilee's husband Baxter arrives at the Gallagher household and holds Frank, Stella and Derilee hostage at gunpoint. In series 3, she found out that Lillian had an affair with her husband Malcolm in the 1970s, resulting in a catfight in The Jockey. In Series 6, Mimi experiences some regret over her lack of education when son Micky takes film classes. Ruby reveals that she has always hated Mimi for her treatment of her father and threatens to kill her. After taunting her, Joe decided to help a scared Karen deliver what could be his son, who would be christened Connor Joseph Maguire. It is revealed in Series 5 that Debbie has been in a secret relationship with police officer Tom O'Leary (Michael Legge), despite the fact that she is only 15 years old. It was also said that he lived in the area but never visited because he did not want daughter Katie living near or knowing Frank and the Chatsworth Estate. As much as Karen is repulsed by the sordid nature of her affair with Joe, she is also drawn to it, and is disappointed when Joe briefly stops seeing her. Stan is later usually seen working with new police recruits Carrie Rogers (Amanda Ryan), who's an aggressive yet crooked cop, and Tom O'Leary (Michael Legge). Later, Carl's siblings Lip, Ian and Debbie, figured out that the only person with the motive for informing the police about Mandy's dealings was in fact her brother Shane, who was angry that his mother chose his sister over him to oversee that area of the family business.
