All The Things We Love And Hate About The Characters On 'Shameless'

Frank Gallagher

What we love: Little to nothing.

What we hate: Just about everything.


Fiona Gallagher

What we love: Fiona might be the most resilient character ever to grace our television screens. She is the definition of a survivor; something we can all respect. She cares deeply for her family and friends and she always comes through for them, which is amazing considering her long track record of people not coming through for her. She’s got a little bit of that wild side we all wish we had, and I think we can all agree we wish we had that facial bone structure.

What we hate: We cringe every time we see Fiona with a guy. She impulsively jumps from one to another faster than we can keep up with, and each relationship is messier than the last. She cheats like it’s her job and she doesn’t seem to show too much remorse for it. Her self-destructive decisions are almost too disappointing to be entertaining.


Carl Gallagher

What we love: Carl has been making us laugh since season 1. Somehow, his aggressive side is more charming than it is disturbing, and if we’re being honest we can admit that he looks pretty cute in cornrows.

What we hate: Carl causes more problems than he fixes. He gets himself into ridiculously sticky situations for the sake of doing so, and it has gotten a little old. He gives us an urge to jump into the TV screen and… well, parent him.


Veronica Fischer

What we love: Is it bad that we wish Veronica was our best friend and not Fiona’s? We love her sass and style, and we love that she always says what she means. Veronica is true to herself throughout the entire series, something we can all appreciate, because we know that can be hard to do. That man candy on her arm also doesn’t hurt her situation.

What we hate: Sometimes being completely true to yourself means hurting others in the process. Veronica has definitely had her moments, but all-in-all there really isn’t much to hate.


Lip Gallagher

What we love: We could go on for days about Lip Gallagher. He is the dark haired, handsome, bad boy genius we have all been waiting for. We love to watch him cause mischief, and watching someone make such terrible decisions has never been so dreamy. He is protective of those he loves and is unafraid to do what is necessary to take care of them…also hot.

What we hate: Lip has a tendency to be a pessimist, and thus doesn’t realize his own potential. We all wish we could jump in the TV and guide him towards the light.


Kevin Ball

What we love: We love to love Kevin loving Veronica. He makes us believe in true- sometimes crazy- but true love. Kevin is motivated to do well for himself and for his family and there is honestly nothing more attractive in this world. Sometimes a little dopey, but always a lot cute; we just love Kevin.

What we hate: Like literally every other character on this show, Kevin has had some questionable moments, but nothing worth hating.


Debbie Gallagher

What we love: Um…let me know if you think of anything.

What we hate: Debbie was annoying from the very beginning, and has continually become worse and worse. She makes absolutely mind-blowingly stupid choices and basically never listens to anybody’s advice about them. Time and time again we have watched Debbie in horror, and sometimes she reminds us of our middle school selves- and that is not a good thing.


Ian Gallagher

What we love: No matter how many times Ian has made a mistake, we are somehow always rooting for him. Ian has faced a lot of hardships in his young life; and we are impressed at how resilient he can be despite them. He is strong hearted and well intended, and we like that.

What we hate: Sometimes Ian feels like he doesn’t need help form anybody; but everybody needs help sometimes. We wish Ian would learn to take advantage of the fact that his family loves and would do anything for him.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
