Plus, with Emmy Rossum no longer on Shameless, it'd make little sense to bring Jimmy back now. It appears that Chatwin's time on the series has ultimately drawn to a close, with that Season 5 return serving more as a chance for Fiona to show her growth and progression as a character. In an interview with THR, Justin Chatwin admitted that he wasn't expecting to return to the series after his character's presumed death at the end of Season 3, but Emmy Rossum and fans reportedly wanted to bring the character back for more emotional closure. Given the turbulent nature of their relationship the writers behind Shameless decided to end the character's story after this brief appearance in Season 5. Jimmy did briefly return in Season 5 before Fiona finally decided to end things for good. As the love interest of Fiona Gallagher, and one who went to great lengths to woo her, he played a tumultuous role with his various misdeeds, deceptions, and his presumed death in Season 3. Playing Jimmy Lishman, who also went by the names Steve Wilton and "Jack," Justin Chatwin played a prominent part in Shameless Seasons 1-3. The series cleverly explores the lives of those living at the margins of American society, as is the case of the Gallaghers, who experience poverty and try their best to lead satisfying lives.Justin Chatwin (Steve Wilton/Jimmy Lishman/Jack) You find yourself rooting for the Gallagher kids (admirably anchored by Rossum and Jeremy Allen White and Cameron Monaghan, who play her two younger brothers), even though they'd probably try to rip you off if you met them in person. But a strange thing happens a few episodes in, once you get past seeing an elementary schooler swilling a beer in plain sight of his family members, who only seem mildly annoyed that he's drinking it. version starts as a sexed-up, in-your-face shocker that throws any of the original series' subtleties out the window. ![]() But like its British counterpart, this Shameless is a complex, often harrowing, family drama with comedic elements, which casts Macy as a generally unlikable "alcoholic" father who leaves his six children to fend for themselves. Not all viewers have seen the original, critically acclaimed series that inspired this remake. Unlike other made-for-adults shows this one has inappropriate material in almost every single scene. ![]() I only watch it when the kids are in bed. I love this show, but skip through many of the gross and unsavory scenes, of which there are many in each episode. Not having experienced any of the issues these characters face makes this show fascinating to me. The characters are complex and fascinating to watch (except Ian, the one gay character who suffers from bipolar disorder - his character falls flat for some reason and is less deep than the others.)Īlthough most of the kids are "good people" down deep, the neglect they suffered throughout childhood shows. This show is truly Shameless - it's set in Chicago (my hometown) and the main characters are mostly kids who have no parental guidance of any kind and make shockingly bad choices (again, no guidance.) The adult characters are devoid of any morals whatsoever and battle addictions of all kinds including substance abuse, sexual addiction and more.
