He also shows countless signs of schizophrenia throughout the series, and it is directly stated in series 2.įrank is an unemployed alcoholic, and the son of Neville ( John Woodvine) and Sarah Elizabeth Gallagher (1935–1972). Thus, in spite of his drunken ramblings, sometimes he does come across as being well-educated owing to the issues he raises during his interactions with others. Frank frequently quotes Shakespeare, the Bible, references international current events and uses poetry and soliloquy to express his feelings or views, as he does at the start of each episode. He appeared in 136 episodes in total.įrank's hallmarks are 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. Vernon Francis "Frank" Gallagher (born 12 March 1960) is the main protagonist of Shameless.

They're all way too pretty looking I've never seen a "poor" family of models anyway. Are they implying that this "Zuess" character was just waiting on that particular street where they got pulled over with a gun waiting to shoot it off in case they happen to get pulled over ON THAT VERY STREET? Steve sucks- smarmy asshole. then all of the sudden we hear gunshots so the cops take off and they get away. i sort of like this show, but at the same time it's very unrealistic and some scenes make NO SENSE AT ALL like there was one episode where Steve gets pulled over pulls out a cell phone and says "Hey Zuess u got me?" thats it. If you think you are the only person who thinks that the UK version is better, get your head out of your ass and look around and stop repeating all the same rhetoric. Stop whining about how it doesn't compare to the UK version.
