Occupation Unemployed
Residence 2 Windsor Gardens

Vernon Francis "Frank" Gallagher (born 12 March 1959), the head of the Gallagher family, is an unemployed alcoholic, and the son of Neville and Sarah Elizabeth Gallagher (1935–1972). He is married to Monica, with whom he has six children (Fiona, Phillip, Carl, Debbie, Liam, Stella), and one, Ian, to whom he is de jure father. He also has two children with Sheila Jackson, Nigel and Delia, and is the father of Monica's half-sister, whom he fathered with Monica's mother at Monica's birthday party. He has two grandchildren, Katie and an unnamed child of Fiona's when she left in Series 2. Frank became an alcoholic shortly after his first wife Monica left him for Norma Starkey. He then left the younger children in the care of Fiona, and moved in with agoraphobic Sheila Jackson. Often known to make a fool out of himself and shirk all responsibility, Frank nonetheless shows signs of loving his children. He can offer good advice, for example saving Liam from being taken into care when a parent was needed. When he is rendered completely sober by a new drug, Frank appears reflective and even quite intelligent, wondering why Sheila would add to her problems by marrying a mess like him.

In early series Frank comes across as a drunken bully, even headbutting his son Ian on one occasion. Most of his children initially hate Frank for his drunken bullying ways. Lip and Ian are never scared to show their feelings towards him, and even physically attack him on a few occasions. However, his middle daughter Debbie shows sympathy throughout the series when her father is either in serious trouble or presumed dead, something which has happened three times to date. The family have generally warmed towards him more as the series has progressed, mostly due to the fact that he isn't bothering them hugely on a daily basis

Frank has apparently been convicted and sentenced to imprisonment several times in his youth. He claimed to have been incarcerated in Strangeways Prison. It has not been mentioned what exactly were the reasons for his string of past convictions.

Frank's hallmark is drunken rants on a wide variety of literary, historical and philosophical subjects, usually returning to how decent, hard-working people, among whom he erroneously seems to count himself, are discriminated against. Frank frequently quotes Shakespeare, The Bible, references international current events and uses poetry and soliloquy to express his feelings or view, as he does at the start of each episode. Frank is a supporter of Manchester City

Occupation Barman
Residence 2 Windsor Gardens

Ian Gallagher (born 11 May 1989[citation needed]) is the third oldest Gallagher sibling and is aged 15 at the beginning of the first series in 2004. He is the son of Monica and Gary Bennett, revealed when his blood group was found to be incompatible with the rest of his siblings'. His half-brothers are Phillip Gallagher, Carl Gallagher, Liam Gallagher and Sean Bennett, and his half-sisters are Fiona Gallagher, Debbie Gallagher, and Stella Gallagher. He has one niece, Katie Maguire, and works as a barman at The Jockey.

Ian is gay, having various relationships with usually older men throughout the run of the programme. Kash Karib is to date his only long-term boyfriend, though he has a brief relationship with Sean Bennett, and an ongoing friendship with Mickey Maguire. He also has sex with one girl (which does not affect his sexuality), and a relationship of convenience with Mandy Maguire, to protect his secret. Because he is unaware of his parentage at the time, Ian also unknowingly sleeps with his half-brother. Ian sees Sean at their biological father's funeral and later tells the truth to Sean, who wants to keep seeing Ian, but eventually agrees that they can not ignore their familial relationship.

In the early series, Ian is depicted as closest to his brother Phillip, with whom he shares a room, and is initially the only member of his family to know that he was gay. The brothers often have to look out for each other more than any of the other characters, due to being party to each others' secrets. In later series, all the family, even Frank, are aware of his sexuality.

Ian leaves in the first episode of the 6th series after suffering amnesia. He is seen in episode two in a clip of him partying abroad and appears on webcam in later episodes. He returns in the seventh episode; this features the debut of Danny, a deaf teenager whom Ian unwittingly transports back to the UK in the boot (US: trunk) of his car. Ian now lives in the house of Danny's deceased grandfather, which was leased to him by Danny's Aunt Pegg, in gratitude for looking after him. Danny and Pegg later move to Spain.[1]

Carl Gallagher (born 31 December 1991[citation needed]) is the fourth oldest Gallagher sibling. The son of Frank and Monica, his brothers are Phillip and Liam; his sisters are Fiona, Debbie, and Stella; his half-brothers are Ian and Nigel; and his half-sister is Delia. Initially he played only a minor role in the show, but since series two has been featured just as much as the other Gallagher children. He has slept with Meena Karib, along with various others, and has a minor crush on Norma, his mother's former lesbian lover.

In series 3, Carl briefly worked for the Maguires by growing marijuana for them in his loft, until the police found out about the production. Carl was briefly taken into custody, and gave a statement that the marijuana was grown for the household's own personal use. But after a tip was given to the police about Mandy Maguire selling weed, her mother Mimi suspected that Carl betrayed them and sent her sons Donny and Shane after him. Later, Carl's siblings Lip, Ian and Debbie, figured out that the only person with the motive for informing the police about Mandy's dealings was in fact her brother Shane, who was angry that his mother chose his sister over him to oversee that area of the family business. After Lip confronted Shane over the matter, Shane agreed to call off the family hunt for Carl.

In the first series, Carl was jointly played by Tittensor's twin brother Luke Tittensor, but since the second series he has played the role alone.

Carl has developed a tally of sexual conquests in recent episodes. One notable example being the mother of one girl whom he was dating during his last year of high school.

Carl's current girlfriend is Maxine Donnelly, an auxiliary nurse. As of series 6, Carl is one of the few people on the estate, along with Maxine, his brother Liam and his half-brother Ian, who is aware of Mickey Maguire's homosexuality. Mickey has of late made several passes at Carl.

Residence 2 Windsor Gardens

Debbie Gallagher (born 27 January 1993) is the fifth Gallagher sibling. The daughter of Frank and Monica, her brothers are Phillip, Carl and Liam; her sisters are Fiona and Stella; her half-brothers are Ian and Nigel; and her half-sister is Delia. Although Debbie is only 16, she is old beyond her years and since Fiona went to Amsterdam, Debbie is often tasked with saving the family from ruin. Originally Debbie was a slightly unusual and awkward child, albeit highly intelligent and resourceful, but since Fiona's departure, Debbie quickly became head of the household and took care of duties such as cooking and taking Liam to school. As a consequence, Debbie missed out on socialising and has become mature beyond her years.

In series one, Debbie had once abducted a three year old boy, because she "wanted a sister. But none of the girls on the estate would take the chocolate". So she dressed him up in girls clothes. The child's disappearance compelled the majority of the estate to go up in arms in search for young "Jody". When Debbie finally admitted what she did to her family, a furious and bewildered Fiona, Steve, Lip, and Ian, formulated a plan to return the youngster back to his family without incriminating Debbie. After circulating false rumours of sightings around the Chatsworth Estate for much of the day, Debbie emerged as the hero of the hour when she returned the boy to his distressed family.

Debbie's closest familial relationship is with her father, Frank. Unlike Fiona, Lip, Ian and Carl, Debbie admires him and often shows her love for him, often seen to be the most affected when he is in danger or trouble. This often leaves her the most vulnerable to being let down by him, but Debbie's loyalty to her father is occasionally rewarded, and it is strongly suggested that Frank appreciates 'Little Debbie' more than anyone else in the world. Debbie also detests her mother more than the rest of the family, refusing to forgive her for abandoning them years ago or for her continued laziness and self-absorption. She did respond sympathetically when more details became clear regarding Monica's abusive childhood at her mother's hands. In contrast, Debbie was close to Frank's ex-wife Sheila.

Debbie's relationship with the rest of her family is generally good: She sees her siblings as her dependents and generally supports them through their various misadventures; and they generally recognise all she does for them. She's particularly protective of and very close to her younger brother Liam. Her relationship with him seems to border between surrogate-parent and partner-in-crime, as she has frequently enlisted Liam's help with some of her past schemes. She can also be seen to forge strong relationships with other characters, notably Marty Fisher and Mandy Maguire.

It is revealed in Series 5 that Debbie has been in a secret relationship with police officer Tom O'Leary, despite the fact that she is only 15 years old. Debbie and Tom break up at the beginning of series 6 during her 16th birthday party when she realises that Tom is too old for her and that he wants much more from the relationship. Tom begins to stalk her, although he tells workmate Carrie that Debbie has been stalking him.

Debbie is now seemingly in a relationship with a man called Mark, who she met on a night out with Maxine and when she got drunk, he took her back to his student residence to sleep, but nothing more. Debbie left the students room the next morning, thinking that she'd never see him again. However, at a funeral the family had been invited to, they met again, and she discovered it was his Grandmothers funeral.

At first, Debbie was a little objective to a relationship with him after he made comments about Frank (who had decided to go to the toilet behind a tree at the funeral and then punched Mark) however she told Maxine of her feelings for him. He later appeared outside Debbie's home and when she refused to see him, he sat on a chair in the middle of the road until she did. He later used the chair when a hired gunmen was going to kill both Paddy and Mimi, but Mark knocked the hitmen out with the chair.

After this, Debbie and Mark have sex in on the kitchen floor, reminiscent to the scene in the first episode where Steve and Fiona also have sex in the kitchen, in the same place as Debbie does.

Liam Gallagher (born 30 July 1998[citation needed]) is the second youngest of the Gallagher children and is a minor character until series 5, when he takes a more central role in the main storylines. He apparently suffered from fits when he was smaller. He also used to wet the bed, though he claims that it was only to help put out the fires he had a likeness for starting. Throughout the series, Liam is practically raised by his older sisters, Fiona and Debbie, as Frank is lazy and Monica inept- when she is around. In later episodes, Liam shows considerable intelligence and resourcefulness like sister Debbie and is also an outspoken atheist. In series 5, signs of genius in Liam became obvious when he was shown to be an adept car thief, and was seen later to use a defibrillator on a comotose Frank when it was thought that his heart had stopped. In series 6, it is revealed that Liam is a talented musician, and also fluent in Sign Language. Given his academic performance, the school determines Liam to be an exceptionally gifted pupil, which leads to him being awarded a special scholarship. During an interview at a local university, he initially fails to make a good impression due to nervousness. But that changed when his father Frank attempts to steal the "Joy of Sex" manual from the university library; Liam plucks up the courage to tell the panel of education directors why he deserves the scholarship in an impassioned speech.

Liam was also persuaded by his brother Carl to create false identities on the internet for him, Chesney Karib, Maxine Donnelly, and Mickey Maguire, so they would be admitted into an exclusive nightclub.

In series 3, the then five year old Liam was almost expelled from his RC primary school when he openly denounced religion during a Christmas nativity play that was held by the school. Debbie learned of this development on New Year's Day 2006 when meeting with Liam's headteacher and a local parish priest. Debbie tried to warn Frank of the situation and the expected visit from the school, but to no avail. On the day of the school visit, and when it was apparent that Frank was not going to help, Debbie had to take matters into her own hands. She shaved Liam's head, and told the school administrators that her little brother had Cancer. Unfortunately, the rumour had gotten out of hand, and spread out across the Chatsworth community, until a fundraiser for "Liam Day" was set up by Jez Dawson, the landlady of "The Jockey".

Liam is now one of the few people in Chatsworth who is aware of Mickey Maguire's homosexuality. He sarcastically tells Mickey that he figured it out through his "amazing powers of deduction", despite Mickey's stereotypically gay mannerisms and aesthetic preferences.

Residence The Jockey

Karen Maguire (née Jackson) (born 12 June 1988), is the daughter of Sheila Gallagher and her second husband, Eddie Jackson. Nigel and Delia are her half-brother and sister. She becomes estranged from both parents throughout the series. She is Lip Gallagher's girlfriend in series 1, but seduces Lip's father Frank and has an affair with him. She then leaves to stay with her grandmother but returns to work at The Jockey, the local pub. Karen becomes considerably more mature in series 4, at the end of which she marries the recently freed Jamie Maguire, with whom she co-runs the pub. Season 5 sees her becoming increasingly, albeit grudgingly more integrated with the Maguire family and their somewhat violent way of life. Karen suffers a miscarriage early in season 6, then has an affair with her sister-in-law, Mandy's, boyfriend. She ends her affair with Joe by threatening him that if the Maguires see any bruises on Mandy they'll kill him. She gets back with Jamie with the help of Mickey. The last episode of series 6 reveals Karen to be once again pregnant; however she is unsure whether the father is Jamie Maguire or Joe.

Occupation Shopkeeper

Yvonne Karib (born 1 April 1965[citation needed]) was married to Kash Karib, with whom she has two children, Chesney and Meena. She owns and runs the local shop featured in the series, and previously employed Ian Gallagher, her husband's gay lover. At first she was angry to discover Kash was gay, but later accepted it to keep her marriage together for her children's sake. She is a hard-nosed businesswoman who is not averse to breaking the law to make a bit of extra profit.

Yvonne converted to Islam to marry Kash, and is far more devout than her now estranged husband. Although white, she always wears Asian dress and was originally never seen without a hijab, although she no longer wears one.

It is implied that Yvonne came from a racist family, due to her refusal to go home to them after being made homeless in the last episode of series 4. During this episode, Yvonne moved into the house between the Gallaghers and the Maguires after arranging to rent it from Fiona and Steve. Season 5 sees her begin a relationship with police officer Stan Waterman, despite the fact that she is technically still married to Kash, who it is revealed faked his own death to escape creditors.

Norma Starkey (born 18 July 1969[citation needed]) is a lorry driver, possibly from Newcastle upon Tyne, which although it was never explicitly stated onscreen, she does possess a strong North East accent. Norma was also previously Monica's lesbian lover, after her split from Frank. She followed Monica back to the Gallagher home in series 4, and now lives in the Dormobile in the garden. Having initially been characterised as a strong-willed and capable woman, Norma is now increasingly portrayed as weak and helpless. In series 4, Norma revealed that before her relationship with Monica, she spent time in prison.

In series 6, Monica, feeling underappreciated, has fled the Gallagher household once more. Despite feeling abandoned by the only woman she loves, Norma has thus far elected to remain at the Gallagher house, having grown attached to most of the family.

Occupation Drug dealer

Patrick Donal "Paddy" Maguire (born 20 April 1964, Belfast), is the patriarch and the head of the Maguire family, the most feared and therefore most respected of the local criminal families. His cherished wife is Mimi, and he has an identical twin brother called Noel, who is gay.

Patrick is extremely forceful and violent and his presence puts fear into most people on the Chatsworth Estate. For example, when he and his family enter the local pub, The Jockey, the customers sitting at the table beside the entrance clear the seat for them. He and his family are also drug dealers on the Chatsworth estate. He has a particular dislike for the Gallagher family, particularly Frank and Lip, which he has demonstrated on several occasions, both physically and verbally. However in more recent series, Paddy has begun to show a more compassionate side, and since series four, he has also become much more accepting of Lip Gallagher, as well as Karen Jackson, the wife of his oldest son Jamie. Paddy's identical twin brother Noel was credited as being played by Neil Grades, an anagram of actor Sean Gilder.

Despite his initial dislike of Frank Gallagher, this mind set was then turned after Paddy choked on a cashew nut in The Jockey and Frank acting out of morality (whilst very drunk, as per usual) performed the Heimlich manoeuvre, thus saving Paddy's life. Frank also saved Paddy's life again, stopping him from injecting himself with what would have been a lethal dose of heroin. Paddy now has some grudging respect for the Gallaghers.

Despite showing open contempt for higher education, Paddy has occasionally shown knowledge of certain literary subjects.

In Series 6, Paddy was briefly abducted by the mother of a teenager who died after using his drugs, who in revenge repeatedly injected Paddy with heroin, causing him to become addicted to the substance. His attempts to conceal his new habit and deal with its effect on his life were a recurring theme of Series 6, with him finally going cold turkey later in the series, during which he had visions of his father Padriag.

Catherine Mary Joy "Mimi" Maguire (née Murphy) (born 25 March 1963[citation needed]) is the foul-mouthed, loud, brash and violent matriarch of the Maguire family. She is also a drug dealer on the Chatsworth Estate and is frequently seen selling drugs on the show. She is also extremely violent and easily angered. She has "headbutted" several characters on the show including Lip Gallagher, Sue Garland, Cassie Western and even her own son Shane. Mimi is as hard as nails, and she can hold her own with men and women. It was revealed the first time she had sex with Paddy her husband she was 13.

She is the wife of Paddy Maguire, and the mother of Mandy Maguire and the Maguire boys and the daughter of "Nana" Murphy. Her ex-boyfriend is also called Paddy. In series 5 a more sensitive side to Mimi is introduced, after she gets insulted about her weight. She describes herself as a "bulimic who can't stand vomit". In the same series, she is shown attending anger management classes. In Series 6, her family's drug dealing business comes to haunt them when Mimi's beloved Paddy is abducted and forcibly addicted to heroin by the bereaved mother of one of their deceased customers, and to make matters worse she was arrested for an assault that her son Jamie carried out. She however openly wanted to take the blame for the attack, claiming "A mam's gotta do what a mam's gotta do".

Shane Maguire (born 10 August 1982[citation needed]) is part of the Chatsworth estate Maguire gangster family, known for his short and unpredictable temper and limited intelligence, although he was once shown to possess great instincts for shopper's habits during series 5 when he briefly worked in Yvonne Kharib's Cash and Carry off-licence shop. Judging by certain scenes from series 3-4, the other Maguire boys, except for Jamie, seemed to be taking direction from Shane, in the absence of Paddy and Mimi, which might imply that Shane is the second oldest of the Maguire children. In series 6 Shane suffers a head injury whilst running a hotel scam with his lover, Kelly. After coming out of a coma, Shane is left partially paralysed and bed-ridden. Conflict arises between Kelly and Shane's overpowering mother, Mimi, over who will oversee his convalescence. However, with physiotherapy and speech therapy, his condition begins to improve. Shane is the brother of Micky (who he constantly squabbles with), Donny, Joey, and Jamie, as well as the late Fergal and Mandy, and son of Paddy and Mimi.

Mickey Maguire (born 20 June 1989[citation needed]) is the paranoid, aggressive, violent, homosexual yet homophobic member of the Maguire family. Despite his aggressive, exaggerated personality, he is mentally weak and often runs away at the first sign of trouble. His father Paddy often disrespects him, like brother Shane (who Mickey constantly violently squabbles with), but still loves him. He has a brief and casual affair with Ian just after his first appearance on the show and falls in love with him, constantly chasing him up throughout the show. Unlike Ian, none of Mickey's family are aware of his homosexuality, despite several occasions when Mickey has come close to coming out to them. The sixth series shows Mickey going to college to study film. In the same series, Mickey has revealed a talent as a writer of erotic stories. Mickey also has a crush on the staunchly heterosexual Carl Gallagher. Recently, Mickey was coerced/manipulated by Liam Gallagher into making overtures with Ian, because Ian was due to move away from Chatsworth. After a couple of embarrassing episodes, Ian decided postpone his trip around Europe, and to personally mend fences with Mickey, which may be the beginnings of a permanent relationship.

Occupation Barman
Residence The Jockey

James Patrick "Jamie" Maguire (born 27 October 1978[citation needed]) is the oldest son of the notorious Maguire family, the son of Paddy and Mimi Maguire, and recently returned after serving a ten-year prison sentence for murder. Much to his parents' disgust, he appeared to be reformed, rejected his family, got a job as a barman at "The Jockey", began training as a probation officer, and became engaged to his colleague, Karen Jackson.

Jamie has a tendency to sleepwalk on occasion. Something which his future spouse, Karen Jackson, would witness firsthand during his first night of living at the Jockey.

In the last episode of series 4, Jamie revealed that he had admitted his guilt in order to get parole so that he could hunt down his father's three former cellmates, who were planning to muscle in on Paddy's territory and dispose of him. His new reformed life was a sham to cover his murders of these three men. Karen assumed that his courtship of her was part of this pretence, but Jamie claimed that he really loved her and they were married at the end of the episode.

Despite being portrayed as one of the warmer of the Maguire family, Jamie has become somewhat of a dark and aggressive character, possibly due to him taking on the family business while his father was going cold turkey when recovering from drug addiction.

Jamie was released from prison after serving a ten-year sentence for murder. He first made his appearance in series 4, which was set in 2007. This means he was sentenced in 1997. When his father, Paddy Maguire, was planning on seeking revenge against the people who he thought had killed Fergal, he told him that had spent his entire 20's in prison. And was "not going to let his fucked-up family make him do something that he did not want to. Ever again." And threatened to rip off Paddy's head if he planned to continue with this cause of action. Paddy relented.

Occupation Unemployed

Mandy Maguire (26 August 1988–6 May 2009) was the only daughter of the Maguires, the Gallagher family's neighbours. She is the mother of Lip's daughter, Katie. Mandy is the daughter of Paddy and Mimi Maguire, the most feared of the local criminals. She is generally more law-abiding than the rest of her family, but is fiercely loyal to them and can often have a violent and abusive streak. Her brothers are Donny, Mickey, Shane, Joey and Jamie, as well as the late Fergal.

She develops a crush on Ian in series 1, but sends her brothers after him when he spurns her advances. She is the second person to find out about his homosexuality. She becomes a close friend to Ian and pretends to date him to keep leering boys away from her, leading to her relationship with Ian's brother Lip.

Mandy conceives Lip's baby, Katie and after a year or so under the care of the Maguires, takes her away and moves in with the Gallaghers. However her father Paddy continues to supply her with financial support. She begins an open, long-term relationship with Lip while he is away at university, but finishes with him in series 5 after Lip's secret university girlfriend shows her face.

In Series 6, Mandy has recently fallen for Joe Pritchard, an accountant and the captain of a local football team. Mandy's brother, Jamie, even struck up a friendship with Joe, until he discovered that Mandy had been physically abused by him, which led to Jamie savagely assaulting Joe, and sending him into a temporary coma. Despite suffering at Joe's hands, Mandy still retains feelings for him, and resented Jamie's intervention. Since Joe's recovery, Mandy has decided to give him another chance, much to the chagrin of the rest of the Maguires.

In the final episode of series 6, Mandy was kidnapped by Maureen, an emotionally unstable woman who lost her daughter to heroin and blames Paddy Maguire for her death. Mandy realised that Maureen was the person who kidnapped Paddy. As Maureen disappeared to put the kettle on, Mandy followed to see what she was doing, and to her horror, found a broken gas pipe which Maureen had sabotaged. Maureen then returned to the kitchen with matches. Mandy desperately began fighting to get the matches from Maureen just as Paddy and Mickey turned up outside to save her, however they could not gain access into the house. Inside the house, Mandy had fought her way into the hallway and ran towards the door. Just as Mickey pressed the doorbell, creating a spark, Maureen lit a match. The gas then ignited, causing the house to explode, killing both Maureen and Mandy and throwing Mickey across the street. The episode then cut to Kelly, reading a book to little Katie whilst trying to hold back the tears. Meanwhile at the Jockey, Mandy's funeral reception was taking place. Mickey, who survived the blast, admitted that he felt responsible for Mandy's death. It was mentioned that Paddy was going to return to Ireland with Mandy's ashes to scatter them, however Frank ended up spilling them across the Jockey.

Phillip "Lip" Gallagher (born:1988) is the oldest son and second child of Frank and Monica Gallagher. His parents delayed his birth registration for over a year, but he never found out until his 18th (actually 19th) birthday in series 4. His nickname, according to his father, is due to him being "a bit of a gobshite." Lip was in a long-term, open relationship with Mandy Maguire and they have a baby daughter, Katie, conceived while they were both still in school.

During series 1 he was in a relationship with schoolmate Karen Jackson, who dumps him for his own father Frank, causing him to beat Frank to a pulp in the middle of the street in a rage. He is ballsy and charismatic and never afraid to stand up to anyone, not even the feared Maguire family. Lip dates a string of girls throughout the show, even partaking in a romantic affair with Lena, a woman considerably older than him.

Lip is close to younger brother Ian and is the first person to find out about his homosexuality. He keeps it a secret and eventually becomes completely accepting of it.

He is highly intelligent, has A-levels, and takes up an offer from Nottingham University in the last episode of Series 4. In the first episode of series five he returns to the estate during a break to see Mandy and Katie and works at The Jockey with Ian. However, his secret girlfriend from university, Alex, emerges, costing his relationship with Mandy. It is confirmed in the next episode that he returned to university.

Fiona Gallagher (born 24 February 1983[citation needed]) is the eldest child of Frank and Monica Gallagher. She was the acting mother to her five siblings after her mother left due to Frank's lack of responsibility. She is also the best friend of Veronica Fisher.

During her childhood, she used to be referred to by the other kids at school as "Pov Gallagher" due to her family's low-income and her parents' perpetual unemployment.

After her boyfriend Steve McBride got caught up in a botched drug-bust, he had to leave the Chatsworth Estate. Fiona was reluctant to leave with him, as she did not want to abandon her siblings and friends. During his absence, she briefly hooked up with Craig, and became pregnant with his child. But she still retained feelings for Steve, and when he returned briefly, he told Fiona that her siblings were more than capable of looking after themselves without her, and that she deserved a better life outside of Chatsworth. With the support of her family and friends, Fiona left with Steve at the end of series 2 and now resides in Amsterdam.

Steve McBride is Fiona's boyfriend. He was first seen in a club, watching Fiona Gallagher dance with her friend Veronica Fisher. When a mugger stole Fiona's bag, Steve gave chase and attempted to catch him. Although he failed, Fiona still took him home. Once back at their house, he admitted (while undoing his trousers) that he had noticed her a month before, and that if she wanted him to stop, he would. She did not, and they went on to have sex. Steve later bought Fiona a washing machine to woo her, and they got together, after Steve revealed he stole cars for a living. When Fiona's father, Frank, hit his son Ian, Steve got him drunk and took him to Calais in France in the boot of his car. In the middle of the second series he was forced to flee the Chatsworth estate after he was involved in a murder at a drugs deal he was involved in. However, he later returned for Fiona in the emotional finale of series two. He now resides in Amsterdam with Fiona. He has a daughter named Kerry-Anne from a relationship in his youth.

Steve is often presented as the moral hero of the show. Although a car thief, he proudly claims to have not committed a single violent crime in his life. Similarly, he dislikes the way Frank treats his kids. After witnessing Frank headbutt Ian, Steve drugs him up and dumps him in a park in rural France to teach him a lesson.

Martin "Marty" Fisher is the son of Carol Fisher, and brother of Veronica. Marty has coprolalic Tourette's syndrome and is a pyromaniac. He was a guest character in the first series of Shameless, became a main character (along with his mother) in series two, and left along with Veronica and Kev in the first episode of season four. At the time of his departure from the series he was dating Sue Garland. He came back in series 4 with the stolen baby. Sue and Marty convinced Stan and the new PC to let them keep the baby.

Before meeting Sue Garland, Marty had a secret crush on Fiona Gallagher.

On occasion, symptoms of Marty's Tourette's have included mere confessions to matters that he would have otherwise lied about, one incident being where he assisted Ian and Carl in a late night burgalry of the home of teenagers whom robbed a house that Lip had been looking after. When asked by Ian if he had done this before, Marty nodded, but quickly blurted out "have I fuck" in a fit of Tourette's. Another occasion was when his mother, Carol, was on a cruise in the Bay of Biscay, and Marty was looking after her beloved dog Bepy. Marty's relationship with his mother's pet was adversarial to the point that he took him to the vet to have it's vocal cords sliced. Later, when Kevin Ball noticed the dog's condition and confronted Marty over why the dog had "lost its voice", Marty involuntarily cried out "it can if you pay enough".

Carol Fisher is the mother of Marty and Veronica. She was a guest character in the first series of Shameless, but became a main character (along with her son) in series two. She is a pathological kleptomaniac and a bossy and demanding woman, fond of having affairs with much younger men. Carol is also best friends with nosy neighbour Lillian. In series 3 she found out that Lillian had an affair with her husband Malcolm in the 1960s.

Carol is very promiscuous for her age. In series 3, she embarked on a relationship with a man named Norman. She later found out that he was a nudist. Their relationship ended when he urinated on her during sex.

Carol moved in with Kev and her daughter Veronica after Marty burned her house down when he left prison and found her with another man. She then moved in with the Gallaghers after Veronica kicked her and Marty out in order to foster a child. Carol then moved in to The Jockey. Absent from series 5, Karen revealed in Episode 1 that Carol had "fucked off to Magaluf with 2 months takings," from The Jockey, before flashing to a picture on the wall of Carol which read 'Employee of the month.'

Recurring characters

  • Tony (Anthony Flanagan) was a Police officer who served alongside Stan in the first three series. He had an obsessive infatuation with Fiona, whom he had lost his virginity to, but Fiona never seriously considered him. He generally did everything he could to make life harder for Steve, out of jealousy. He formed a corrupt partnership with Steve to keep him out of jail, in the best interests of Fiona. He later wades in on Steve's drugs deal, botching it and turning Steve into a fugitive. Tony was last seen in the final episode of series 3.
  • Jez (Lindsey Dawson), the licensee of the local pub, "The Jockey", and an open lesbian. In series 4, she had a baby as a surrogate mother for a couple, to earn extra money. She has been absent from The Jockey and the show since series 4; Karen is currently running the pub for her.
  • Donny Maguire (Warren Brown (Series 1 and 2), Steve Bell (Series 3 and Series 4) is the least seen of the Maguire sons (apart from the late Fergal). In the few episodes he appeared in from seasons 1-4 Donny did not acquire an onscreen role beyond being an enforcer of the Maguire Family. Although, in seasons 1 and 2, it appeared that his brothers, Joey and (possibly) Fergal, seemed to be taking their direction from Donny. But judging from certain scenes in seasons 3 and 4, Donny seemed to be following Shane Maguire's direction. Possibly, Donny might be the third-born of Paddy and Mimi Maguire's offspring. Donny was last seen during series 4.
  • PC Tom O'Leary (Michael Legge) is a young Irish policeman working under Stan. While willing and eager to be a good policeman, he is not a jobsworth, and generally sides (along with Stan) on the side on common sense rather than the law. After previously having romantic feelings (along with Stan) to Sgt. Carrie Rogers, he is revealed in season five as being romantically involved with Debbie Gallagher. P.C. O'Leary was also an orphan, growing up in a foundling home in Ireland, only to find out in his twenties that his mother was from an English, middle-class, Catholic family. And that his mother conceived him when out of wedlock and in her teens, whom brought him to Ireland to give him up for adoption in order to spare her family of "the shame".
  • Sgt. Carrie Rogers (Amanda Ryan) is the third of Chatsworth's police officers. She is young, brash and over-keen, and possibly a borderline sociopath, but generally Stan and Tom can guide her away from acting over-zealously. She is also addicted to gambling, over which she has debts to Paddy. Carrie was promoted to sergeant in season five. Her real name is Wendy, and she used her deceased sister Carrie's identity to re-take the police entrance exam, having failed once due to her bad attitude. "Carrie" often reacts to criminal behaviour, whether geniune or perceived, with a great deal of excessive force to the point of breaching their civil rights, such as macing Carl Gallagher in the face for graffitying (which he did not), tasering Lip Gallagher for suspecting him of stealing a PSP (which was actually his), and it was implied by her colleague, Tom O'Leary, of an incident where she once buried the face of a suspect in excrement.
  • Meena Karib (Sarah Byrne) is the promiscuous and sexually active daughter and firstborn child of Yvonne and Kash Karib. She often falsely tells boys she has slept with that she is pregnant, to extort abortion money out of them, as she attempted with Carl Gallagher. In Series 6 she goes topless and is caught by Stan. During the same episode, Meena left home after a fiery row with her mother, Yvonne, before moving in to live at Lilian Tyler's brothel, where she now works as a personal assistant. She later reconciled with her mother, until she learned that Yvonne faked her father's death several years earlier.
  • Chesney Karib (Qasim Akhtar) is Yvonne and Kash's son and younger child. He was briefly the Young Mayor of Chatsworth, and love interest of Debbie Gallagher, until she decided he was self-interested and using her. But later, it turned out that Chesney was using the campaign funds to help an elderly Pakistani woman to take her British Citizenship Test. Chesney is a smart but moody teenager who quietly resents his mother's bossy and abrupt demeanor. In series 6, Chesney finds out that his mother, Yvonne, had faked his father, Kash's death. Chesney, in a moment of rage, knocks his father out cold, and seemed to be prepared bludgeon him with a baseball bat when the fireworks that were stacked up in the shop's stockroom were ignited, due to the spreading flames of Chesney's insufficiently stamped out cigarette. Chesney fled the store, leaving his unconscious father to die for real from smoke inhalation. Having discovered his parents duplicity, Chesney began to openly defy Yvonne by liberally taking money from the till and drinking in the house.
  • Craig Garland (Chris Coghill) is the estranged husband of Sue and also the father of Fiona's child. He is a laid-back, reserved personality. He gets into a long-term relationship with Fiona in series 2, after Steve disappears, but is left heartbroken when she runs away with Steve. Craig loathes his wife Sue and is often seen helping Marty deal with her whenever their relationship hits the rocks.
  • Sue Garland (Gillian Kearney) is Marty Fisher's girlfriend and wife of Craig. Addicted to shopping, and ran up large debts, and she and Marty left at the start of series 4, With Kev and Veronica's Romanian baby and the insinuation that Sue was pregnant with Marty's child.
  • Joey Maguire (Nathaniel Robinson) One of the Maguire brothers that is seen with Donny Maguire in Series 1 and 2. Who threatens to batter Ian Gallagher. Not unlike his brother, Donny, Joey never acquired an onscreen role beyond being an enforcer of the Maguire Family. Joey was last seen at the end of series 4, where he appeared at his brother Jamie's wedding. Joey has not been seen or heard from ever since.
  • Katie Gallagher is the daughter of Lip Gallagher and Mandy Maguire. She was born during Series 3 and is named after her maternal grandmother, Mimi Maguire.
  • Stella Gallagher is the daughter of Frank Gallagher (David Threlfall) and Monica Gallagher (Annabelle Apsion).
  • Fergal Maguire is the now deceased son of Paddy and Mimi Maguire, whom may have previously appeared alongside his brothers, Donny and Joey in series 1-2-3. Fergal was never mentioned or referred to by name until Series 4, after he was murdered by rivals of the Maguires. Fergal's severed hand was sent to the Maguires. According to Fergal's memorial plaque, Fergal lived between 1984-2007. Prior to Fergal's demise, there was an undisclosed incident where he had fallen out with his parents, Paddy and Mimi, and left home with the intention to form a partnership with his father's former fellow inmates from HM Prison Manchester, in opposition against Paddy. This turned out to be Fergal's undoing.
  • Danny (Louis Kissaun) is a deaf teenager who was introduced during the seventh episode of series 6 until his departure in episode 12. Ian Gallagher arrived back to the UK after months away in Spain, and unwittingly carried Danny with him in the boot (US: trunk) of his car. Initially irritated, until he found out that Danny was the nephew of the woman Ian was working for as an unofficial courier. Ian eventually took Danny to the house of his grandfather in Manchester, until finding out from an elderly neighbour that the home owner was deceased. During his time with the Gallaghers, Danny develops a close rapport with Ian's youngest half-brother Liam, largely due to the fact that Liam understood Sign Language. Much to Ian's anger, Danny enlisted Liam's help in searching for Danny's estranged father in Liverpool, without informing Ian beforehand, and making Liam skip school for days on end. Ian finds out that Danny was abused by his father, whom apparently caused his son to go death after a violent beating. Ian helped Danny to confront his father, and after finding out more details about Danny's past, witnessed Danny murder his father in a moment of rage. Danny has not been seen since, now presumably living in Spain with his aunt.
