When Lip found out that his little brother was afraid of being made homeless, he reassured Liam that he could come and live with him, Tami and Fred.
Of course, this offer is somewhat complicated by the fact that Lip doesn't yet have a new place to move into by the end of the Shameless series finale, and is worried that he can't afford to support another baby on his and Tami's income.
But while Liam's situation is worrying, it's also realistic. Household insecurity and instability is a key problem for children living on the poverty line; a report via Washington Post found that 2. There are plenty of kids like Liam who have to balance worrying about their homework with worrying about where they're going to live in a week's time. The characters of Shameless have been fighting a losing battle against the South Side's gentrification for years, and Kevin and Veronica held out almost until the end.
The coronavirus pandemic caused a year of uncertainty as The Alibi Room was subjected to a cycle of lockdowns and reopenings, until its proprietors lost track of whether they were supposed to be closed or open. To make up for slower foot traffic, Kev and V pivoted the business to become more or less legitimate cannabis vendors, which was enough to keep the South Side's favorite dive bar above water. Outside of work, V entered the world of politics with hopes of motivating Black voters to fight against gentrification and rising rents at the polls - only to discover that many of the neighborhood's Black residents had already moved away.
When Veronica's mother, Carol, announced that she was going to join the exodus and relocate to Louisville, Kentucky, V at first vehemently opposed the plan.
But a trip to Louisville made it clear that a better life was possible there: a political landscape where Veronica could really make a difference; a bartending job where Kev could make more a lot more money than The Alibi had been pulling in; and a growing Black community that includes Carol and many of the Fisher family's friends. Moreover, with Fiona gone and the rest of the Gallaghers planning to move away, the ties that once anchored Kev and V to the South Side have been weakening.
In the Shameless series finale, Kevin and Veronica are trying to find a buyer for the The Alibi Room - V entirely unsentimental about what's done with it, while Kev tries in vain to keep it intact. Veronica struggles with the decision of whether to take the deal or hold out for a better offer that might never come. Officer Tipping, in attendance at Ian and Mickey's anniversary party, suggests to Carl that they could pool their money, buy The Alibi, and turn it into a cop bar to save it from its fate as a yoga studio or tanning salon.
The series ends with the hope that The Alibi will survive this way, but does not guarantee it. The final scene of Shameless ' series finale brings the show full circle.
The very first scene of the pilot episode had the Gallaghers, Kev and V, and their South Side neighbors throwing an impromptu gathering around a burning car, while Frank Gallagher introduced the members of his family in voiceover. As the finale winds down, the patrons of The Alibi troop outside to enjoy the sight of a Tesla on fire, in a final defiant middle finger to the gentrification of the neighborhood.
The song's lyrics - which refer to getting high in the back seats of cars, committing petty crime, partying, dancing and having sex - describe a way of survival for a generation lacking hope or direction. It wouldn't be a Shameless finale without the traditional mid-credits stinger.
Though Frank Gallagher imagines himself rising up over Chicago as he says farewell to his family, his actions over the past 11 seasons don't bode well for his chances of getting into Heaven.
Frank gets a suitably undignified end as a pair of morgue attendants push his body into the cremation chamber while complaining about the smell. A moment after they close the doors on Frank Gallagher an explosion blasts them across the room and they look into the chamber to find it empty except for the flames. The incinerator then belches out an urn with Frank's name and date of birth and death on it - the implication being that he's gone straight to Hell.
The devil had better hide the booze. The role grew into a recurring role from Seasons , and Goreshter became a series regular for 7 and 8. Alas, Isidora was written out of the series after the eighth season. When we last saw Svetlana, she'd married a senile old man and finally moved out of Kev and Veronica's house. It would appear that Goreshter's exit is a classic example of the show writers not knowing what else to do with Svetlana and deciding to let her go for good.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly , Goreshter surprisingly admitted that she wanted her character to suffer a dramatic death, but the writers didn't want that to happen in order to leave the door open in case they decided to bring Svetlana back again. She hasn't been on Shameless since, however, but Goreshter has appeared in other popular dramas such as Grey's Anatomy and Condor. To be sure, these fine actors don't account for every single character who ever came and went on Shameless , but they're among the cream of the crop.
It's never fun to see some of your favorite characters leave, though it seems like most of the show's exits were due to storyline ebbs and flows, as opposed to there being lots of drama behind the scenes. Let us know the Shameless characters you miss the most in the comments below.

Her role had to be recast , and it subsequently went to Emma Greenwell. Isidora Goreshter first joined the cast of Shameless in season three and would go on to star as a series regular up until the end of season eight. Isidora played the rambunctious yet level-headed Svetlana, who quickly scammed her way into our hearts.
Unfortunately, Isadora's time on the show came to an end. Lip Gallagher has been through a lot. He's a super-intelligent person, despite sharing some unpleasant tendencies with his father. We don't want Lip to go, but he should leave to start a better life with Tammy and their son. It looks like Lip could be leaving Shameless , and that's a good thing.
Karen served as Lip's tumultuous love interest and helped develop his character. However, she was cold and calculated and literally up to no good. Karen's storyline fizzled out by season three which is when the actor gracefully left the cast of Shameless. Ethan Cutkosky was just a young boy when he took on the role of Carl Gallagher. By the end of season seven, Ethan began toying with the idea of becoming a regular kid and attending high school like other people his age.
So, he asked to be written off the show — only to realize that he couldn't stay away. You're only twenty years old, Ethan Cutkosky, and you've been a series regular on the show since you were eight years old.
