Shameless 9.01 “Are you there Shim? It is me, Ian”
The 9th season of Shameless has started and, in my personal view, I missed it. For me this is one of the best series out there at the moment. This will be the last for Emmy as well, since a few days ago she made a statement that she will not longer work in Shameless after season nine. Let’s see how the new season begins!

The doctor tells them to relax but they can’t be and they start to fight between couples and each other. Then Frank starts to talk and gives a speech and everyone calm down and they all talk and all the truth comes out.
Fiona is with her boyfriend in the apartment watching tv when Fiona takes his phone from the jacket and use his eyes to unlock it. He wakes up and she asks him why he has two phones and he say that it is because it’s to talk with her mum, it’s an international phone.

In this episode we can see as in the rest of the first episodes of the season how is gonna be the story for every character.
I think Fiona is gonna have a rough time with her boyfriend because of trust issues but that it maybe will work out at the end and who know if at the end of the season she left with him to UK?
Lip is going to show us the good heart he has taking care of Xan. I think we can see his paternal side and how maybe the next season he will be the one who have to take care of the family.
Frank... Frank is Frank. In every mess it is there is him! I think it is more Frank to see and more fun with him.
Carl has to live now knowing that Kassidy was killed by his recrut and we’ll see if he is able to get the promotion he wants and how all it affects him.
Debbie is going to show the strong woman she is. For two season we see her struggle and trying getting the best for her and her baby and this season isn’t going to be different.
Ian and his bipolar desise are going to be a very important part of the plot. He is really into the church and God and helping people who is in danger or struggling. I hope he gets the attention he needs and take his meds.
Liam is the kindest soul and as Lip says in this episode “How are you a Gallagher?“ and it is true he has a great heart, he doesn’t want to hurt anybody, doesn’t like the life his father is into and he tries his best to be good and stay that way.
Kev and V and her twins are gonna have a difficult time since their kids are so full of energy. We’ll see if preschool are gonna help them some way.
