Popsugar Entertainment Twitter Reactions Reactions to Fiona Leaving Shameless Shameless Fans Are Crying Happy Tears After Fiona's Bittersweet Departure 11 March 2019 by Perri Konecky Image Source: Showtime Warning: the following post contains spoilers for the season nine finale of Shameless. It was a bittersweet goodbye for Fiona Gallagher during Sunday night's season nine finale of Shameless. Since Emmy Rossum announced that she'd be leaving the show after this season, fans have hypothesized about her exit. Would she reunite with Jimmy/Steve? Would she keep going down a dark path and end up in jail or rehab? But as fans prepared for the worst, Fiona's exit went down in the warmest, most un-Gallagher way possible, and it has everyone crying happy tears. After hitting rock bottom during last week's episode and later receiving a check for $100K from her former business partner Max, Fiona is very aware of the second (or sixth) chance she is given. Her attorney said it best: "You seem like a smart girl, Fiona. [It's] time to leave this South Side hood-rat crap behind you and get on with being an adult." So, that's exactly what she did. Fiona says her goodbye to Ian in prison, leaves a very generous gift for Debbie, and she even shares an unexpected, tear-jerking moment with Frank before taking her suitcase and heading out the door. It's an incredibly emotional farewell, but a happy one, and we can't wait to see how the Gallagher family evolves without her leadership in season 10. Ahead, see how fans are reacting to Fiona's sentimental departure after 111 episodes on the show. I just cried watching @emmyrossum play Fiona for the last time😭 a show & character that you just have been through so much while watching 9 seasons of. Sounds crazy being sad over a show but DAMN. What a great actress she is 🙌🏼🥰 #Shameless— Kira (@keeraaa) March 10, 2019 1 / 13 so like fiona’s goodbye with frank, the kids, leaving debbie money, visting ian in prison and him seeing her plane leave i am EMOTIONAL i’m so sad queen is gone 💔 #Shameless— mariah🌹 (@mariahloveshes) March 10, 2019 2 / 13 watching fiona/emmy rossum’s final episode of shameless. there were times i hated fiona, but she was definitely the most important character in this show. it won’t be the same without her. #shameless— jas ✨ (@lucidflaws) March 10, 2019 3 / 13 i’m not that happy with how fiona left but i am glad she didn’t end up with jimmy/steve. everyone wanted them together but their relationship was never really healthy. the purpose of her leaving was to get away from the drama, not go back to it. #shameless— jas ✨ (@lucidflaws) March 10, 2019 4 / 13 Fiona leaving is bittersweet. #Shameless— #repeal162 🌈 🇰🇪 (@2zinak) March 10, 2019 5 / 13 Just watched the season finale of #Shameless.
