At this point there was nothing else you wanted to see than the characters finally be able to be happy, but all this building just got ripped out from underneath us. It felt like I was the one who was getting dumped. When Season 5 ended and Ian was the one to break up with Mickey it was heartbreaking, truly heartbreaking. We got to watch Mickey grow so much throughout the seasons from a scared, selfish troubled boy to being the one to push Ian to get help with his bi-polar disorder and be the one who wanted to take care of him, love him and support him, even when he didn’t want to help himself. It showed the struggle of young relationships with lots of confusion, insecurities and struggle. Ian and Mickey’s relationship was the only relationship on the show that felt like it could make it, it gave all of the viewers hope and it made us feel even more connected to them for finally reaching this point in their character development. They were predominately struggling with different parts of their own life or fighting with each other. Their relationship was rarely ever happy and it almost never made you feel good. It took them four seasons to get to this point, years of us slowly falling in love with their characters as individuals, but especially as a couple. Right after he came out was when Ian was hit with depression from his emerging bi-polar disorder.
From the beginning Mickey had a hard time accepting he was gay and an even harder time coming out until Ian pressured him. Their relationship was highly dysfunctional as neither of them knew exactly what was in the best interest of each other, or even themselves. They went through hell and back to get to the point they were at before Mickey got sentenced to jail for 15 years at the end of Season 5. Ian and Mickey’s story is extremely heart-wrenching and emotional, and easily one of the best written same-sex relationships on TV. I’ve never even been that excited about one of my own relationships. When I heard the rumor that Mickey was going to return to the show in Season 7 I was ecstatic, like over the moon thrilled with joy.
#IS MICKEY IN SEASON 7 OF SHAMELESS TV#
I don’t think I’ve ever been as big of a fan of any TV couple than I am with them. The overall character development in Shameless is one of the most well-written masterpieces I’ve ever seen unfold in front of my eyes, and with that being said the relationship Ian (Cameron Monaghan) and Mickey had developed the best. In Season 7 we got a brief shot of Mickey again and I don’t think I’m alone when I say that was the highlight of the season, and the last couple seasons since he left, to be totally honest. The point of this is to talk about bringing Mickey (Noel Fisher) back to the show. Now the point of this isn’t to talk about how great the show is because that could last hours. It’s a complete emotional rollercoaster, it makes you cringe, laugh, cry, feel empty and hopeful all at the same time.
Shameless is undeniably one of the best shows I have ever seen, it’s one that more than anything you wish you could be part of in a weird, fucked up kind of way.
