#IS GUS IN SEASON 7 OF SHAMELESS FREE#

Maybe thatвЂ™s what Fiona needs, considering the only charismatic guy she dabbled with (Robbie) left her sloshed at a gas station in Sheboygan. I guess Fiona did away with the adorable Gus? Though Sean seems like a nice enough guy and he really wants to see Fiona do well -В just like all of her oddly tolerant men - heвЂ™s a bit vanilla. (I want to believe Carl is simply ambivalent by nature of his upbringing, but his determination to march toward the dark side leads me to believe otherwise.) The realization that he has settled into his darkness, complete with cornrows and an N-word peppered vernacular, hits Fiona right in the gut, and she restrains herself to keep moving forward.ДЄlso: Shameless has jettisoned several characters (Sheila, Sammi, Bianca, Gus, Steve/Jimmy/Jack), but CarlвЂ™s large black friend seems primed as a point of conflict at Chez Gallagher. In a subtly wrenching scene played between Emmy Rossum and Ethan Cutkosky, itвЂ™s clear that Carl has fully shed his baby-bully status and is now a full-blown sociopath. But even if Shameless refuses to look at CarlвЂ™s year in jail, its weight is clear when see how Fiona reacts upon his arrival home. The episode shirks any detail about his experiences behind bars, barely glancing at his inferred rivalry with the swastika-emblazoned Chuckie. HeвЂ™s a mere 14 years old, yet his вЂњWhite CarlвЂќ swagger is that of a full-grown gangster, rendered even scarier by the fact that heвЂ™s less a caricature than an embodiment of the culture he embraced in juvie.

The most disturbing set-up for season six arrives with CarlвЂ™s reintroduction to the free world. I have a difficult time imagining Debbie becoming a mother, but then again, I had a difficult time imagining Debbie craving such strange chaos. IвЂ™m interested to see whether sheвЂ™ll come to her senses or if her pregnancy will go awry. Shameless never has a problem with driving action when itвЂ™s needed, but DebbieвЂ™s downfall seems hasty and strange, especially when her boyfriend Derek is shipped out to Florida and Debbie adamantly refuses FionaвЂ™s guidance. Though I never saw Debbie skyrocketing to college like Lip, or falling madly (mutually) in love like Ian, I didnвЂ™t imagine that she would slide into irrational mediocrity so quickly. Perpetually swimming amid the wake of family drama, Debbie has always desperately longed for something to care for, a piece of the crazy universe she can call her own. She is a teenager with a burgeoning baby bump, but it still feels like sheвЂ™s playing dress up with Wet & Wild lipstick. Since her multi-season run as the GallaghersвЂ™ most compassionate and endearing character, Debbie has grown caustic. In both Debbie and CarlвЂ™s cases, adolescence truly is a construct they have chosen to forgo. Of course, there are other things going on вЂњI Only Miss Her When IвЂ™m BreathingвЂќ - which weвЂ™ll get to soon - but the most interesting plotlines converge in the Gallagher teensвЂ™ struggles to leap directly from childhood to adulthood. Carl, now 14, has just spent a year in juvenile for drug trafficking. And lest we forget, FrankвЂ™s emotional young lover Bianca commits suicide to extinguish her battle with cancer.ДЄt the open of season six, the anxiety wrapped around Debbie and Carl has been realized into our worst fears, yet itвЂ™s somehow still dampered by reality. IвЂ™m thinking of the season five finale, вЂњLove Songs (in the Key of Gallagher)вЂќ in which Debbie pees on a stick, Carl enters juvenile detention, Lip screws his professor, Fiona vacillates between lovers, and Ian refuses to take his lithium. Sometimes, however, the chaos is served in relatively manageable nibbles. The strongest of those forces is usually MurphyвЂ™s Law, which is doled out in roiling portions - in season fourвЂ™s вЂњThereвЂ™s the Rub,вЂќ for example, baby Liam gets into FionaвЂ™s coke stash, which sends him to ICU and Fiona to the big house.

It requires two things: A suspension of disbelief, and a nuanced understanding of the forces that rule the Gallagher clanвЂ™s turbulent South Side universe. Watching Shameless often feels like sitting in the crowd while an amateur magician saws his pretty assistant in half.

Cameron Monaghan as Ian, Ethan Cutkosky as Carl, Brandon/Brenden Sims as Liam, William H.
