Notes

  • Shanola Hampton: "Everyone has some nice stuff. It going to be nice to see Frank’s play out, especially in the last half of the season. Also, Ian’s, but Lip’s has some cool stuff too, oh and Carl! Ugh, too hard to say! Fans have a lot to look forward to.”

  • SSN SCREENING SERIES 2014 OF “SHAMELESS” (x )

  • William H. Macy : “I’m really appreciating this new season because I can’t drink. Of course, I’m drinking a little, but I’m managing it. What I mean is, in a lot of these scenes, Frank is sober as a vicar, and it’s lovely to play that point of view sober.” (x)
  • Cameron Monaghan: They’re doing some really fun stuff and playing around with the storytelling too. We had our first dream sequence that we’ve ever shot on the show. We have one episode involving flashbacks for Frank. There’s a lot of interesting experimentation to keep it fresh.
  • Emmy Rossum: One spoiler for the season ahead - one of the Gallaghers is pregnant.
