Personality

Fiona is a true South Side girl: she'southward scrappy, resourceful, and not afraid to get into a fight. As the sole provider for the Gallaghers, she takes on odd jobs (and demeaning ones, similar sexy waitressing gigs) to provide for what her father'due south welfare checks won't cover. When she isn't juggling the responsibilities of her siblings or dealing with Frank's shenanigans, she's out partying with Veronica and Veronica's husband, Kev.

Other than Lip, Fiona is the nearly reliable of all the Gallaghers (other than the latter half of Season iv). Fiona is almost always there for the people she cares about, and she'southward willing to practise whatever it takes to continue her siblings out of foster care: in her mid-teens, she dropped out of high school to take care of them. She once remarked that she's almost positive she doesn't want kids of her ain since "her siblings are her kids." During Season 9, she sees they take grown up and decides that she needs to continue her path. She leaves her family unit business firm but gives her family a big corporeality of coin to back up themselves.

While Fiona doesn't get along with either of her parents considering of their neglect, she has showed that she does beloved them. She was pleased by Frank bonding with the family while he was getting sober, genuinely comforted Frank afterwards he was insulted by his mother Peggy Gallagher and understood why he is the mode he is. She later on told an bilious Frank in flavour iii, that she does beloved him and was but tired of him not showing care for the family, likewise every bit admitting her fearfulness was that he didn't care for them. She was besides shocked to learn that he had a third daughter and never told her, equally she believed she had him figured out. She tearfully confronted her mother on her frequent leaving the family and told her she just wanted to be loved. She thanked her female parent for giving Liam back. After her arrest in Flavor 4, she has learned that she couldn't arraign them for her faults and must accept responsibleness. Even though Frank ruined her wedding and she kicked him out, Fiona revealed to Veronica that she appreciated his acts since he saved her from a potential failed marriage and slowly forgave her begetter. This was seen when she allow him stay in the quondam apartment and tried to comfort Frank after Monica's death, after seeing him devastated. She too stated she took intendance of him afterward he neglected the family with Monica'south first departure.

Even after he barbarous back into his old ways, she shows him more patience and doesn't seem bothered by him anymore, like in the past. She also ran a business with him in her depression and they worked well together. Fiona as well seemed to take her male parent's words virtually her excessive drinking into consideration. She even stood by him when he injured himself at her erstwhile building and only left once his safety was guaranteed. When preparing to get out the house, she shared one concluding moment with him and took his gratitude for caring for the family in pace and smiled at her begetter afterwards seeing he was holding back tears, causing her to know this was his mode of wishing her well and they parted on adept terms.

Fiona, like her siblings, struggles with an unstable cocky-esteem. She's curt-tempered due to stress, ofttimes so tired and overworked that she neglects to brush her pilus or get adequate slumber. She hides her more sensitive side underneath her tough, confident exterior; it's difficult for her to ask for assist. Throughout the series, she has several emotional breakdowns in private.

Fiona about marries a drug addicted Sean Pierce but her male parent ruins the hymeneals past telling her of his exploits. Subsequently the failed wedding, she tries out Tinder in Flavour 8, and she enjoys how easy meaningless sex is compared to her intense, brusk-lived relationships until she realizes she needs something existent. Every bit of the Season 8, she is attracted to Ford, an Irish carpenter (and role-time sperm donor). Ford is the most grounded, sensible partner Fiona has met. At get-go, he rebuffed her and they start tedious with hanging out before they begin to date. It was Ford who helped her run into that she won't ever be able to help her siblings, and she needed to let them grow on their own. Once she learned Ford was married and using her as an affair, she was devastated by this since she called him her boyfriend.

This led to concern from her siblings who took over for her in running the house as Fiona was no longer capable. Fiona'southward mannerisms hit a major low, every bit she lost her job, nearly got kicked out past Lip for getting his sponsee Jason drunkard, inadvertently causing him to accept a drug relapse, and assaulted a woman for harassing Liam. Afterwards Frank told her to finish drinking considering of her uncontrollable nature.

Fiona striking a break when learning she earned a big sum of money from a previous investment. She decided to make a start for herself elsewhere merely not earlier leaving her family unit money. Yet Fiona unfortunately left Debbie in accuse of the coin, bold her sis would be responsible enough with it due to her intelligence, merely this unfortunately turned out to exist misplaced faith as Debbie causeless she also got control of the house too and began making poor choices like ownership designer wearing apparel for herself and using their siblings actual social security numbers for credit cards when Frank had already used their names to become credit cards and put them in heavy debt. Fiona clearly overestimated Debbie's competence and it's possible that Fiona still held a grudge against Lip, which was why she didn't choose him even though he would accept been a much better pick in managing the family'due south coin. Fiona also ignored the fact that she was yet the legal guardian of both Liam and Carl (at the fourth dimension since he was yet 17).

We're lucky enough to be on a network that encourages that. I loved the opportunity to work with Pecker [William.H.Macy]. I love that the character shows such duality. She'south then strong, but has this vulnerability underneath. I thought she was very much a modernistic woman."

• John Wells revealed that both the product and Emmy Rossum wanted to bring Fiona dorsum for the Shameless finale, but due to complications with filming the series during the COVID-19 pandemic and working around her schedule with the required quarantine menses, it simply did non work out.^[1]
