Emmy Rossum announces she's leaving 'Shameless' after Season 9

I hate this show. esp when the asshole father kept failing to die.

In the original UK series Fiona was only on for two seasons and then showed up for a two part finale IIRC.

I wonder if this is part of a salary negotiation since until very recently, she was being paid less than Macy who doesn't deserve the extra money since Rossum is really the center of the show.

Or she could be getting film roles.

The show's been kind of shit for the past 2-3 seasons anyway. Time to wrap things up.

Film roles? Um, yeah, let her leave and see how many film roles she's offered.

Bill Macy is a fantastic actor and everyone knows it. He can get film work seven days a week.

This show is still on???

And yet, he doesn't. Face it, Macy is a character actor who's gotten lucky with this show. His wife has had more commercial and critical success. At least this show has given him a steady paycheck.

Anyway, I said Rossum COULD be getting film offers. Now that she was going to get them or was guaranteed any. She's young and pretty. Even with the shorter career span actresses seem to have, she may have more chance at success and if she's pursuing directing and writing, that will definitely extend her career.

They should end the show with her leaving. She better get a happy ending and not one involving a man or woman. She is the show.

I watch the show for Cameron Monaghan, but I agree that Emmy Rossum is the heart of the show.

Macy be an Oscar nominee, but it's Rossum that propels it.

She's not going to get directing, writing and acting roles in film or anywhere else unless she bankrolls them herself. She is loathed by her castmates, the crew and everyone who has ever had to deal with her. It's been that way since "Phantom".

Yes, dear, Bill Macy is a brilliant character actor who is very well liked. He can get film work seven days a week anytime he wants it.

R.U.R.

She is good but this show has sucked for at least the last couple of years. They should all leave.

R2 Getting film roles? I doubt it. She's been on the show for 8 years and has only been able to get parts in c-grade movies. She doesn't have a career outside of this show. This will probably be the last we hear of her.

I stopped watching when the tranny showed up.

She's the heart of the show and wonderful in the role. I remember all the hate she got for Phantom of the Opera and this is where she really redeemed herself and showed that she was a very emotionally honest actress. I hope she gets great film and TV roles in the future, because she has "it." Macy is brilliant as well, but his character should have died a few seasons back when it was all set up. Every time he shows up on screen these days, I groan. Kill that character off already.

It's better to jump than sink.

Love Shameless and will miss Emmy, but I could watch a show just about Lip....yum!

[quote]Bill Macy is a fantastic actor and everyone knows it.

Thank you so much!

I never thought much of her until this show but she was fantastic in it. I think she’s made for tv and she can probably do something interesting with her husband. After nine years she’s probably just done.

Earning per episode?

Is this an equal pay protest?

Copied Jim Parsons

The show should have ended about five years ago.

r17 Bill Macy is 96 years old. No one has to refer to the other Bill Macy as William H. Macy unless it's in the credits.

I honestly dont see the show going on much without her.

R23

SIT!

Isn't Rossum also an Oscar nominee?

I wish her character would have a quick reunion fuck with Jake and his hot ass!

Was it already renewed for season 10?

Not yet

Remember when Rosie O’Donnell was obsessed with this show and regularly tweeted about it? One day, the tweets stopped. Yet the show keeps being made.

What’s your source on this, R9?

As if you know anything about the actors in these productions

Emmy has a Netflix produced movie coming out soon. She likely wants to do more behind the scenes. She directed quite a few episodes of Shameless. The show has benefitted from being on Netflix. A whole new audience has been introduced to it and many are probably willing to pay for Showtime to see new episodes. It will easily go through season 10. It won't be the same without Fiona anchoring it though.

"What’s your source on this, [R9]?"

R9's ass I think.

👆 Consider that co-opted.

acting is a dead-end street

katy segal's on it.....her face stretched so tight barely recognizable.

still fug

thought it was her, but damn she look weird

Maybe she wants to have a baby and do a Netflix movie a year instead of a long TV season.

Emmy is an Alpha female. She married a lapsed Muslim in Central Synagogue in New York.now that’s pussy control.

she really is starting to resemble a possum

damdest thing.

u go get em Emily, in ur earnest search for a kool career

Shameless: Cameron Monaghan to Exit

Wow he got fugly.

I stopped watching this shit show. Just a waste of time.

The show is still halfway decent but with Emmy leaving and now Cameron, its time to end it.

I agree, R44.

I'm not surprised Cameron is leaving next.

He's been getting work on "Gotham" and other projects.

o no

I watch it for him!!!!

shit

Same here, R46.

I'll be less likely to watch the show when Cameron leaves.

>>>>

So that was it, Emmy is gone. That's how she was written out?

Is Shameless worth watching?

Cameron's not leaving: he's already left. Episode 6 of this season was his last (which he announced a week before it aired.)

And Emmy will be finishing out the rest of Season 9, which will return in January.

Was this season always intended to have a break? I wonder if they are going to wrap up the whole series.

Oh great, let’s make the show more about Lip and some random storyline about him and a chick he’s fucking.

The finale episode has been released on the Showtime app. I think she has a nice exit.

And R53, you correctly predicted where the new storyline is going. And Tami is the most obnoxious of all the forgettable girlfriend characters. This does not bode well for the future of the show. Hopefully Tami gets randomly whacked like Carl’s wife or Sheila’s daughter.

R53, I've never understood how an ugly-looking guy like Lip seems to be able to get all these women to sleep with him.

yes, I stopped watching about 2 seasons ago. All the shows are shit on Showtime and HBO. I will be canceling soon. After GOT is over, gonna cut it.

I actually find Lip incredibly sexy, but he’s a such a sanctimonious bore ever since he got sober and I’m tired of the neverending parade of annoying girlfriends he gets super serious about.

Lip even managed to get one of his professors to fall for him a few seasons ago.

Why would a sexy, brilliant professor go for a guy like Lip when she could do so much better?

the guys are all too short.

I haven't watched the past 3 seasons or so. It just started to bore me. I've stuck with shows well past their expiration date before (hey, Nip/Tuck), but I always wish I hadn't. Life's too short.

It was good for a while, but like many shows, it has gone on too long.

Without Emmy and Cameron, what's the point? More insane Macy storylines? More shenanigans with the wacky neighbors? Maybe if they'd turn Lip bi I'd be interested...

Yeah, one of the reasons I watched was for Cameron.

It was one of the few shows that was willing to give its gay character an actual sex life & sex scenes right from the beginning.

It was nice that the gay character had a sex life, but of course they had to have him have sex with a woman, then a romance with a non-penised trans woman.

[quote]Without Emmy and Cameron, what's the point?

Cameron is returning next season.

So is Mickey, apparently:

good !!!! for me she was the weak link, hag, boring, harpy, grouchy old presence....yay

im there only for the hot guys....the ginger hag girl is gross.

the guys are fun

writers give the boys good storylines. hurrah

delighted, u can ssmell her tater chip underarm b.o. from here.....

The whole show is gross and contrived. Every guy on it was short and fug. Emmy Rossum was always annoying and trying so hard to happen. I know they probably made a lot of money, but I can’t imagine wanting to be associated with this filthy show. And the kids on it- ugh. Their parents should be ashamed of themselves.

be so fun with her gone, her vibes were weird.

Are the writers from the earlier seasons returning? That what Im waiting to hear.
