Back with a journal after a long time.
Is it okay that i call this a journal? I just want to quote a friend from fandom but first things first... Im terribly sorry for the last news. I hope that those dead people were not you/they arent related to you. It doesnt matter if theyre related to you, i know for a fact that, living in a country thats near europe and hearing about those news every day -almost- is painful enough. Patience. Cursing never solves this problem. All the countries should come together and try to find a solution. -.-
and sorry for my broken english once again! 😕
Do you think this season is gonna be the last season?
It seems they repeat themselves. Fiona always finds boyfriends and breaks up with em... Lip always finds jobs and messes up with em... Kevin always does stupid shit, but thats fine by me... :D i dont even wanna mention frank... The only change seems in ians life, i think he must go on like this, ignoring some wicked people that used to make him ill in the first place... ;)
Fiona and Jimmy in love
how wonderful was when Jimmy took part of the main cast?!?!! We want Jimmy and Fiona in love again!!!!! Gus is not good for Fiona , Jimmy was perfect! Who want Jimmy and fiona in love in season 6?
Back With a Vengeance
So hey all, the disappearing admin has returned.
First of all, appologies for leaving this Wikia to the wind. Major changes in my personal life coupled with the end of Shameless (UK) lead to me pretty much abandoning the Wikia. In truth, I never intended to return and assumed that with the popularity of Shameless (US), someone would have adopted this empty ship (just like I did, back when the Wikia had less than 200 pages and about that many visitors every year). I never took it off my bookmark toolbar, so finally decided to brave a glance and see how much has changed.
I'm impressed with the shift in popularity, I always knew the Wikia would take off at least a little when Shameless US continued to grow but I'm still happy to see it.
Unfortun…
Season Premier Disappointment
I was so excited to sit down last night to watch the Season Premier of Shameless. However, I was disappointed. I can't put my finger on the source of my disappointment. It just seemed kind of boring to me. Fiona's relationship with her boss, Vi getting pregnant while her mom is pregnant with Kev's baby (jumped the shark!), Frank enlisting Carl to feed his alcohol addiction, Debbie slutting herself up, Joan Cusack scrubbing bathrooms at the Gallagher's? Lip at college, Ian's lover missing him? After reading this, I think these story lines should seem exciting, but they weren't for me. I'd be interested in hearing the thoughts of other Shameless fans. The previews of the season didn't help my lackluster feelings. I miss Steve! Is h…
Proposal
Now that the series is finished, I wondered that if it is permissable to write fanfics of the show on our blogposts? Just a thought.
My Rant about The Final Series of Shameless
I have no idea why the writers of this show saw fit to introduce new characters. Half of which had a limited shelf-life, anyway. Case in point being the Gastric Bandits, a pair of minging drifters named Sherilee and Derilee, who were only brought in to give Frank something to do between his janitor's job and drinking away his wages.
Sergeant Randall, a deranged copper brought in to fill the void Kelly Ball left in Shane's life.
And Patreesha St Rose, Avril Powell's vainglorious bitch of a sister.
Who REALLY wanted to see any of these people? For more than a couple of episodes, anyway? Police Sergeant Randall, for one, shouldn't have been allowed to appear for more than one episode. She was worse than PC Carrie Rogers.
Remona's episode about he…
‘Shameless’ Spotlight on Carl and Debbie Gallagher
When I first started on this Shameless journey I thought for sure that out of all the characters on the Showtime dramedy Carl and Debbie would be the easiest to write about. However, like all things Gallagher this turned out to be easier said than done. In fact, the more I watched the more I felt overwhelmed by the responsibility I had placed on myself when I started this series. What if I wouldn’t be able to aptly convey the importance of their characters to our readers who may not be familiar with the show? But what worried me the most is would I be able to give them the justice they so richly deserve.
Like many viewers I never really paid much attention to Carl and Debbie. They were always just there in the background. I was always…
Wikia Future
Hey all, so I've not been around for literally like 2 months. I know, I know, I suck. Life really gets in the way sometimes. I haven't even watched Series 11 since like Episode 3. But I am about to marathon watch the rest and update the Wiki as I go (I'm not even going to glance at any edits that have been made since the last time I was on the Wiki out of fear of spoiling what happens!) So apologies for not being around, but I'm back.
With the end of Shameless UK, now seems like a good time to discuss the future of this Wiki. Though we are for both Shameless UK and Shameless (US), I don't watch Shameless US hence why I don't add any content to US pages (I tend to format them etc). My plan was always to catch up with the US show and then add…
‘Shameless’ Spotlight on Frank Gallagher
Welcome to our Shameless Spotlight series. Each installment will focus on one of the major characters from Showtime’s Shameless. I was going to do the normal season catch up that you sometimes see before a new season begins except I realized soon after trying to explain the show to my best friend that Shameless isn’t one of those shows that you can just throw at a person and expect them to get it. I’m pretty sure my friend thought I was describing Sodom and Gomorrah. Although to be fair to her I definitely wasn’t describing The Partridge Family. So instead of breaking down each season I figured it would be better if you got to know the Gallagher’s and the a few of their friends.
Frank Gallagher (played by Emmy award winning, Oscar & Go…
Appologies
Just a quick appology for my complete disapearance from the Wikia for the last week or two. Due to my absence I haven't kept the site up to date either. I haven't watched the last 2, 3 as of tonight, episodes of Shameless UK.
Between illness, dating someone new and an upcoming interview for a very important job, my time has been rather monopolized. I will be back asap to update the site.
Thanks for your patience.

The End of Shameless
Well it seems the time has come. Shameless UK's eleventh series (which will air in 2013, the shows 10th year in production) is to be the last. Recently the declining ratings and ever-lowering quality has had a lot of fans saying it's time to draw the curtains and move on and it seems that coupled with other events has convinced both Channel 4 and show creator and executive producer Paul Abbott.
Abbott, who is storylining the final series, had this to say on the subject:
"Its 10th anniversary seems a fitting time to shut the book on Shameless. We've had an absolute ball making this stuff up for a living. We've given back in spades and got away with absolute murder, on behalf of such a fantastically outspoken audience. But this is also the…
Shameless Becoming Shameless?
So I've never really used these blog entries for anything other than show or site news, with a bit of my own opinion throws in but I decided to write this entry to add to the unsettling feeling about Series 10.
So to recap, instead of Series 9 of Shameless UK having 22 episodes shown in two halves of 11 it was rather randomly decided to air the second half as Series 10. Episode 10.1 aired Wednesday the 12 September at 10PM on Channel 4 and received rather extreme reviews from viewers within the online community with the general feeling that the quality of the show has been slipping constantly and should have ended before now.
My own opinion being that Shameless is indeed a different show now to what it was in the beginning or even a few seri…
Series 10 Starts This Wednesday!
I just thought I'd remind everyone that Series 10 of Shameless UK will start this Wednesday (September 12th) at 10.00PM on Channel 4.
Now if your anything like me your confused to hear this news. Surely I mean part 2 of Series 9? Nope, for some reason the powers that be decided that Series 9's intended run of 22 episodes (two halves of 11 like Series 8) would be abandoned and Series 10 started.
I haven't been able to track down a reason for this decision, which I find rather odd, but I guess we'll just roll with the punches. Watch out for spoilers below.
Series 10 Episode 1 will see Frank forced into working when his benefits are cut, Patty forced to steal her medication and Shane, Jackson and Billy Tutton starting a new bootleg booze enterpri…
Break
As people may have noticed, I haven't really been around lately. Unfortunately I haven't had chance to do anything with the Wiki due to training for a new job. I have my interview toward the end of August and if I get the job or of course if I don't, things will settle down again and I'll have time to take a crack at fixing this place up again.
I'm sure the second half of Shameless UK's Series 9 will be starting soon as well.
So basically, bear with my absence for now and it won't be forever. I'll do what I can until the end of the month, which quite frankly may be nothing but by the beginning of next month I should be back with some regularity.
Happy editing guys, stay shameless.

Spotlight Approved!
So all our recent hard work has payed off as my spotlight request has been approved. Spotlights usually occure around 2 weeks after being approved, ours was approved March 1st so it should be happening around the 15th :)
Since Series 9 and Season 2 are both airing at the moment it's the perfect time for a spotlight, and will hopefully draw in some more US fans as our pages for Shameless (US) are horribly small or non existent.
I'd like to take this oppurtunity to thank everyone that has helped the Wiki get this far and request that you stick with us to help us reach greater heights. -- Lyco499 (talk) 16:44, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
Oh and as always, I spend so much time checking a re-checking spelling on the wiki's content pages, I happily do the opp…
Holiday
Well I'm back. I shall be continuing to anti tornado (the whirlwind that builds rather than destroys lol) my way through the episode pages starting tomorrow (took me most of today and to add everything back to my laptop due to the new HDD).
I'd also like to thank the person that took Micky Maguire off the character list on the main page. I knew it had to be done as there was either Billy Tutton or Dominic Meak to add in his place but I couldn't bring myself to take him down. I'm still gutted he left, even more annoyed that he had the worst most unnonitced exit ever and of course heartbroken that I wont be able to see his sexyness every episode lol. Have a good one all. -- Lyco499 (talk) 00:33, February 29, 2012 (UTC) _________________________…
Appologies on Lack of Modding
So I've been rather horriby ill for the past 2 weeks or so, haven't even had chance to watch the last 2 episodes of Series 9 (which I'm about to do now) or any of the US show. So if I missed anything that required cleaning up etc then I'm sorry, but that's the evil of having no one else interested in a position of power here lol.
Anyways, I'm about to watch the las two episodes of S9 back to back and then I'm going to be going through all edits since I was last on the Wiki to make sure everything has Wiki mark up, links etc. If I have the time then I'd like to clean up the new episode pages that have been added over the last month or so. It's great to have the episode plot summaries as they're the part no one seems to enjoy writting (myself…
Series 9 and Season 2
So both Series 9 of Shameless and Season 2 of it's US version are under way now, meaning a new work load for the Wiki :P I'm trying to scramble the Wiki together a little faster than usual because I'd like to take advantage of a both shows airing together by getting our Wiki featured. We're not quite up to standard for it, but we will be soon.
Just a reminder as well, Series 9 began yesterday (Monday 9th Jan) but it'll be continuing today with the first few episodes airing each day before they go weekly.
So feel free to discuss the new episodes below, tell us what you think of Chatsworths new residents or how you feel the new Gallaghers are getting on over the pond.
I'd like to take this oppurtunity to thank our mysterious anonymous editor wh…
Christmas and Season 2 of US Shameless
Well Christmas and the New Year that is 2012 doth aproach. First I'd like to say thank you to our few diehard editors and our loyal readers, who make the hours and hours I sink into this wiki worthwhile :) We're pretty close to out 200+ goal to be eligible for featured wiki status too.
Now with Christmas aproaching I really don't have the time to be stopping by and editing as much as usual, as my huge decline in recent times has shown. I will however be going into overdrive just after Xmas as January is fast aproaching which means the start of the UK version of Shameless' Season 2, which is the key to us getting featured and pulling in a new chrowd of visitors. But to get that featured status we need at least 200 pages of content and a smal…
Series 9 and brb
Well we've had a nice chunk of information on Series 9 thanks to Channel 4's recent press release (thanks to Infinitellamas for pointing it out) and I've added everything I know to the Series 9 page along with details from said press release. Spoiler warning obviously, everything sounds to be quite crazily up in the air with the story line, rather shocking changes are afoot.
Other than that, I may have to take a forced break from the Wiki for a while due to my piece of crap expensive laptop. You see I had my old laptop for years before the backlight broke, it was fixed but I bought a new one with an extra big hard drive only for said hard drive to break. It was warranty fixed but now my computer has told me to back everything up and shutdow…
New Goal. Let's get featured!
Well it seems that despite the fact that Series 8 of Shameless is nearing it's end here in the UK, this wiki hasn't seen the traffic I'd hoped. But Series 2 of the US version is beginning at the start of the new year, so if we can get a spotlight/feature for the wiki around that time we should really capitalize and draw in some users.
So basicaly we need to get the Wiki up to scratch before we can even apply. This means that we need (red for things we haven't done yet, green for goals we have):
- 200 pages of content. We currently have 176. However, these pages cannot include stubs and stub articles should not make up more that 1/5th of the total which means that we can't have more than 29 or 30 stub articles or pages short enough to be stub art…
100th Episode!
Well the 100th Episode aired this Tuesday on E4 and will air next Tuesday on Channel 4. Anyone afraid of spoilers please don't read ahead. As we knew, Dean Lennox Kelly returned as Kevin Ball to help save Frank from his worst jam yet. The episode stands as the longest yet I believe, at just under 1 hour 15 minutes and was definitely up to a better standard than some from the last few series, it also didn't have a Post Credit Scene which I think is a first.
Something I had no idea about until looking at the credits to update this wiki, was that Paul Abbott, the shows creator and producer who hasn't written an episode since Series 4 Episode 8, returned to write the episode. I've never heard an explanation on why he gave up writing the show mo…
More on returning characters...
Well, this coming Tuesday night on Channel 4 Jack Deam will be returning as Marty Fisher. If you watch the show a week earlier on E4 like myself, you'll have already seen this. I was rather happily surprised personally that it doesn't seem he's going to be leaving again straight away.
And the following week on Channel 4, this coming Tuesday on E4, we have the return of Dean Lennox Kelly as Kevin Ball :D which I'm damn excited about personally, and I hope he doesn't leave again in the same episode.
I've been thinking recently that if Kev and Marty are returning, then why not Veronica Fisher? She's Marty's sister and as far we know, Kev's nearest and dearest. But we've heard nothing to suggest that the amazing Maxine Peake will be returning wi…
Guess who's back...
Well rumors abound lately that Kevin Ball will be returning to the Chatsworth Estate in Shameless' 100th Episode. But one person we know for definite is returning is the Tourette's suffering, pyromaniac brother of Veronica: Marty Fisher!
And you may have noticed the awesome make over we've received over the last few days, all thanks to JoePlay of the Community Content Team. Didn't take him long but he sure as hell rocked it, so a tip 'o the hat to Joe.
I've just started watching the US Shameless, as we need the infomation but we're not drawing in the US fans, because that requires having some US infomation to begin with. So as much as I know I'm going to hate it, I'm watching it to add everything I can. Thank god it's only one season.
So I be…
Getting There and some Shameless News...
Well things are certainly picking up around her lately. We've gotten a few more members and more importantly, actual editors who have done more than add some wrong infomation! :O hehe. So thank you to our recent editors who have showing some definite initative with adding pages for individual episodes :) and also, thank you to JenJanex for our simple yet awesome new logo/watermark. It was this that spurred on with the colour scheme change that I'd held off on for fear of making things look a little amateur and tacky but I think it definately works :) I'm currently watching Series 3 and adding to the Wikia as I go, though I think what I'm going to have to do is make a list of all the main characters, Gallaghers, Maguires, Karibs, Powells an…
13/3/11 - Starting
Well people, I realize we are veeeery few at the moment, and a lot of users don't even have accounts so I'll make this brief.
As has been stated elsewhere I'm doing my best to bring this Wiki up to standard. Shameless Wiki was started by someone 3 years ago and has lived it's life a skeleton, with brief and few pages stocked with badly writen, un-wikified and short pages. But as a huge fan of both Shameless and Wikia's I adopted this place to turn it into a usefull source of infomation for Shameless fans.
I intended to be alot more intensive with my building but life has gotten in the way a bit so I've been adding and editing in drips and drabs every few days, and I'll likely continue to build this way for a while.
So basicaly, I'm going to m…
