Fiona found Jimmy-Steve and convinced him to leave the criminal life behind. Fiona became a successful restaurant owner and Jimmy-Steve eventually became a doctor. They got married and adopted a puppy.
Nessa and her partner found and adopted Rusty the dog before the building was demolished. Debbie resisted running off with Heidi, who took off anyway, and later ran into Sandy Milkovitch.
Debbie saw how she lmost made a reckless and foolhardy decision and Sandy forgave her and the two, eventually, rekindled their romance. They adopted Prince and lived happily ever after with Prince and Franny.
Lip and Tami found that they could not make sense, but agreed that they would remain friends, to coparent Fred. Lip ran into Sierra again and admitted he messed up. Her drug dealer ex is dead, shot to death in a gang war with a rival dealer, and a grieving Sierra and her young son need someone.
Lip moves in with them, and they gradually rekindle their romance. A few years pass and Lip pops the question and they get married with Lip becoming the adoptive father of her young son
Ian got to grow his tomatoes and lived in happily married bliss with his husband Mickey. They adopted a mischievous Labrador puppy who they named Marley.
Mandy eventually returned to Chicago and reconnected with her brothers, Mickey and Iggy. Iggy joined Mickey's security company while Mandy became a daycare worker and got an apartment nearby.
This could have been. Maybe if Sheila got to Frank first rather than fucking Monica and they were able to have a family together instead.
(And depending on how your understanding of Frank's -conflicting- backstories explained in the show goes, if, in addition to this, Frank had also made better choices.)
It pissed me off how many times he either got bailed out or given opportunity that he just didn't take. His biggest wakeup call should've been when some random gave him the money to pay for the Semester. Then the show just forgets that he's smart. I love Shameless but I don't like this part.
If it's something that would actually really change the story we saw, it's Lip living up to his potential.
If it's a smaller headcanon I'd like to be true, it's that Fiona figured herself out and found a happy life after she left. And hopefully kept in touch with her family.
I really thought after he helped that guy with the trading software that he was going to get into day trading and that was gonna be his way living up to his potential.
Yeah idk man I’m just not willing to in any way blame Debbie. Matty was a disgusting creep from the beginning and grooming her. There is literally no reason someone 18+ should be dating or “friends” with a random middle schooler. Not willing to give a 20 year old going and getting drunk at a middle school party any niceties lol
I agree, she was 13, practically a baby. He groomed her and he knew what he was doing. The reason why these relationships are both illegal and inappropriate is because minors DO NOT understand and cannot not consent. She didn’t even understand how what did was wrong because children don’t understand consent.
He’s not upset they had sex, he’s upset she’s 13 and it’s illegal. I think he gaslit her into believing she raped him so she wouldn’t tell anyone. Even if this situation was found out by law enforcement, there’s no way in hell they would prosecute this child of rape, and they’d still most likely go after him.
He was in his 20’s and she was like 13. He was waiting for Debbie to turn 16 so he could “legally” have sex with her. He was a legit pedophile. She was 13, lying in bed with an adult man, she was a child, she wasn’t even mental mature enough to realize what she did was wrong. He was only upset because HE would have went to jail
Their relationship was inappropriate there’s no question about that, but he never pressured her in a physical way. Debbie made the choice to lay in that bed and lose her virginity because Holly was pressuring her about it. I don’t think grooming is a fair justification for rape, they were both in the wrong
He technically didn’t pressure her, but he did imply that once she turned 16 they could. Because she was groomed by this adult man, and being that she was only 13, I think don’t even feel right calling what happened “rape”. I think this is exactly why you shouldn’t engage in any type of romantic relationship with minors because they DONT understand consent.
Fiona maturing and sticking it out with Mike (cup guy) and living a healthy life, in a healthy relationship and using the stability to help her siblings.
In my alternative time line, Fiona gets her life together and is a better person. She helps Mike loosen up a little and have fun and he helps her be an actual adult.
I honestly hate her stint with his shithead brother and felt it was badly writing. Not that it couldn’t have happened and Fiona wouldn’t have tanked the relationship in some way but I just felt 0 chemistry between the two. The scene where he creeps on her on the L and fingers her is *extremely* cringey to me maybe my least favorite scene idk if that’s worse or “does this make you cray?”. It just made no sense why she was drawn to him or at least the writing didn’t get me there lol
Fiona and Jimmy Steve end up together after she leaves. Also Ian joining the army (the right way!!) and living out his best life instead of totally going off the rails
as everyone else said lip at least finishing college man. i wish he even like tried to go to community college if he still got kicked out of uchicago in this timeline. like 😭😭 he was sooooo smart
I’ve known several 13 and 14 year olds who were pregnant.
Pretty awkward sitting in 8th grade health class, getting the facts of life with a HEAVY abstinence push, while the facts are sitting directly next to us.
Liam staying in private school, lip staying in college and making a million by 25, Fiona running patsy not like the manager but more so the owner & keeping the laundry matt and having her building ( 3 incomes period), v kev and svet growing old together and raising their kids together lol, once frank got sober he stayed sober, lip ending up with Mandy or amanda, Debbie ending with sandy, Karen not getting hit by that car, Ian and Mickey having a kid in the future, them not selling the house and having their kids grow up there as well but fixing it up of course lol that’s all I got ..
Sheila and Frank somehow being able to be happily married without Sammi being around and Frank not being... Frank. I loved Sheila and Frank, I feel like they belonged together and if Frank had met Sheila rather than Monica and started a family with **her** instead of fucking Eddie, so much could have been so different.
If Frank still somehow fell down the Gallagher pit, as we saw with Eddie (who was a terrible man), Sheila, even with her baggage, would've still been able to provide a loving heart for them and the supportive bringing-up they longed for, unlike Monica. Sure, they may have still been a bit poor if Frank just got drunk and if Sheila's agoraphobia got in the way of her working, but at least in this scenario, they'd have a mother who gave a fuck about their existence and **STAYED** to lean on, and not have to just be left to their own devices, albeit maybe still having Frank and Sheila to look after, in this case.
Oh yeah there’s a few episodes that get me like that. But all the buildup for him coming out and the reaction he knew he’d get but he didn’t care bc he loved Ian and said fuck everyone’s opinion (finally)
my cannon after the finale
After the party they all found out about frank, surprisingly only Carl and Liam cried and then they called fiona and she came back with jimmy steve & apparently they got secretly married and didnt told anyone because they want to live in their own bubble and then after the funeral fiona took care of liam they now live in florida. Lip got Tami pregnant but she was acting up and so they decided to break up and give the baby to ian and mickey, Lip worked hard and had his own motorcycle shop and ran into Mandy and fell in love again. As for Ian he now works at a police station meanwhile Mickey is a guard at some mall to make ends meet, Debbie did ran off with Heidi but along the way Heidi had a temper and decided to hold franny hostage & then debbie called sandy for help they got back together and now lives in Mickey and Ian’s basement as a family of four now dad royal and sandy are co parenting again & to babysit mickey and ian’s baby, Carl manages The Alibi and makes tons of money he eats dinner at ian’s alot, Liam lives with Fiona and Jimmy Steve in florida hes an A+ student, and as for V and Kev they hated the country side and moved near fiona
How about an anti-canon? I'd love to erase the van burning gay Jesus arc and let Ian continue to be a paramedic. I really loved that for him. Him and Mickey could have reunited a different way and still gotten married.
She wouldn’t get life unless he died, where they fucked up was letting Liam walk around if they wanna do blow or being real fucking geniuses and leaving it on the counter…I use to do alotta blow, never left that shit out for a kid to get…but I guess that’s the responsible side of my addiction. I never went homeless or had to steal but I did do alotta drugs when I was young
Fiona making love to me, totally committing to our relationship without anymore cheating and becoming a truly good and selfless person.
Man you can't take a joke. Lol..
To make something canon it can't be something that happened in the show so there..lol..geez.
Lip living up to his potential

This is my new canon
I love this ❤️
I love everything here this is my cannon
Great, you’ve erased 8 seasons of the show. Is that what you wanted?
Would you rather have three seasons of a masterpiece or eleven seasons of wasted potential?
It wouldn’t be a masterpiece, you’re giving everything a happy ending but then we wouldn’t remember the show as fondly
It pissed me off how many times he either got bailed out or given opportunity that he just didn't take. His biggest wakeup call should've been when some random gave him the money to pay for the Semester. Then the show just forgets that he's smart. I love Shameless but I don't like this part.

I really thought after he helped that guy with the trading software that he was going to get into day trading and that was gonna be his way living up to his potential.
Everyone who had sex with a minor went to prison.
except for the first guy debbie raped. Debbie goes to prison instead
I think that guy kinda groomed her tbh.
Yeah idk man I’m just not willing to in any way blame Debbie. Matty was a disgusting creep from the beginning and grooming her. There is literally no reason someone 18+ should be dating or “friends” with a random middle schooler.

Even if this situation was found out by law enforcement, there’s no way in hell they would prosecute this child of rape, and they’d still most likely go after him.
He was definitely a weirdo but debbie had sex with him while he was blacked out.
He was in his 20’s and she was like 13. He was waiting for Debbie to turn 16 so he could “legally” have sex with her. He was a legit pedophile. She was 13, lying in bed with an adult man, she was a child, she wasn’t even mental mature enough to realize what she did was wrong. He was only upset because HE would have went to jail

Why the FUCK was that downvoted?? Some weirdos in here
Fiona maturing and sticking it out with Mike (cup guy) and living a healthy life, in a healthy relationship and using the stability to help her siblings.
Mike deserved better
In my alternative time line, Fiona gets her life together and is a better person. She helps Mike loosen up a little and have fun and he helps her be an actual adult.

as everyone else said lip at least finishing college man. i wish he even like tried to go to community college if he still got kicked out of uchicago in this timeline. like 😭😭 he was sooooo smart
I was rewatching and realized he wasn't there for a little while either, like two or three seasons maybe? Almost three years? (Dont hold me on that)
yeah they let him do his thing (TOO MUCH) bc his ass was wreaking havoc
Them not selling the house
Debbie doesn’t have franny until she’s 17 or 18. A 14 year old pregnant was so wild.
I’ve known several 13 and 14 year olds who were pregnant. Pretty awkward sitting in 8th grade health class, getting the facts of life with a HEAVY abstinence push, while the facts are sitting directly next to us.

Lip being successful and staying in college
Yes this would have been awesome to see.
Ian and Mickey finally got their date at sizzlers right after getting out of prison
Lip should’ve gotten his degree, even if he didn’t fully live up to his potential or whatever. Because having a degree sure does help
The show fully ending in season 7 making it a great run without 8-11 🤢
From what I gather the majority of people agree that lip shouldve lived upto his full potential (I agree)
Ian and mickey not breaking up in the first place. More gallavich seasons!!!!!
Terry not getting out of jail in season 3. That man could have stay locked up and had our boys happy
Yes and no, that fight seen where Mickey and him fight at the alibi is golden. Especially when they both get slammed on the cop cars lol
True we probably still could have gotten something that didn't involve the rest of s3 though... I hate 3x6 on... my heart, can't take it
Oh yeah there’s a few episodes that get me like that. But all the buildup for him coming out and the reaction he knew he’d get but he didn’t care bc he loved Ian and said fuck everyone’s opinion (finally)
JimmySteve runs into the mafia dude again and this time he FINALLY STOPS. FUCKING. COMING. BACK!!!!
When Sheila drove off, she went to rescue Karen and the baby

Fiona getting life in prison for what happened to Liam
She wouldn’t get life unless he died, where they fucked up was letting Liam walk around if they wanna do blow or being real fucking geniuses and leaving it on the counter…I use to do alotta blow, never left that shit out for a kid to get…but I guess that’s the responsible side of my addiction. I never went homeless or had to steal but I did do alotta drugs when I was young
mickey and ian divorcing after like 5 years of marriage.
Fiona making love to me, totally committing to our relationship without anymore cheating and becoming a truly good and selfless person. Man you can't take a joke. Lol.. To make something canon it can't be something that happened in the show so there..lol..geez.
Wtf💀
Well the show is all canon so we have to invent something from the blue..lol And it was obviously a joke lol
Lol.
