Shameless: 10 Duos Who Should Have Dated | ScreenRant
With its end on the horizon, now is the time to heavily praise Shameless. This series was spectacularly done, as it has been able to keep going after over ten years. Although it has lost some of its rawness since the beginning, it remains a wonderful series, as it is still creating fresh storylines in its final seasons. It also has done a very good job at depicting the true elements of relationships, both through good and bad ones.
It has had its fair share of them, but there were a lot of missed opportunities that also could have been quite intriguing to follow. Of course, this is the case for all series. However, it could have provided a lot of entertaining moments if they decided to pair more characters together, whether they were main or side ones.
10 Sheila And Kermit
Although Sheila would eventually get her happy ending in the series, she faced a lot in the process. She had an abysmal husband in Eddie and then was used and manipulated by Frank.
It would have been interesting if she ended up with somebody like Kermit. Sure, Kermit drinks a lot, but he does seem to have a moral compass and is a pretty nice character for the most part. Had she stayed on the series, maybe a relationship between the two would have made sense.
9 Frank And Kate
Kate was not utilized a lot in the series, but she certainly was entertaining in her appearances. It would have been intriguing to see the show pair her up with Frank, as she worked at the bar and was pretty tough. It could have been an interesting dynamic having these two together because of that fact.
In a situation such as this, it would have been likely that Frank was simply using her for alcohol from the bar. Nonetheless, it could have been fun to watch unfold.
8 Sammi And Mikey
Sammi and Mikey were never on the series at the same time, but they could have been a great pair together. Sammi was certainly younger, but she did show that she was drawn to older men. Mikey, on the other hand, was simply hilarious and should have been given the chance to date someone.
Sammi's intense temperament mixed with Mikey's carefree one could have been a fun contrast to explore. It likely would have ended badly, but even with this being the case, it would have been funny for the show.
7 Fiona And Robbie
Fiona never deserved Mike, as at that point of the series, she was unable to remain loyal to anybody. Therefore, she would have been better off dating his brother, Robbie, from the very beginning.
Robbie was more at her level in terms of decency at this point of the show. Of course, Fiona would show signs of true character progression as the show continued, so their potential relationship would have been short-lived, much like their fling.
6 Lip And Estefania
It would have been interesting to see Lip and Estefania develop a relationship. It was clear that Estefania was attracted to Lip when she was on the series. Of course, she had been married to Jimmy, but perhaps her character could have returned later on.
The lone issue with this would have been Estefania's father of course, as he was ruthless and a legitimate murderer. However, given the fact that this series was not afraid to make things wild, this relationship would not have been too surprising.
5 Ian And Tony
After originally being interested in Fiona, it would later be revealed that Tony was actually gay. Therefore, it would have been kind of fitting to see him end up with Ian during his many breaks from Mickey.
Tony was definitely a nice guy, so he could have been a good, but temporary partner for Ian. Although the Gallaghers don't usually play well with cops, Ian makes sense with Tony because they both wanted to do good. Ian's time as a paramedic fit that theme just like Tony's occupation. Plus, a genuinely good guy for Ian was something that wasn't explored often.
4 Eddie And Ford
Eddie was a short-term fling for Lip, while Ford was a cheating and awful boyfriend to Fiona. These two could have been interesting together, as they both were quite flawed and disliked strongly by the audience.
Given the fact that their morals are so low, it would not have been too farfetched to find out that these two ended up together. In fact, Eddie could have easily been the woman that Ford cheated on Fiona with, as it would have been a believable move from the writers.
3 Fiona And Jody
During the earlier seasons, Fiona dated a lot of the characters, so would it have been that surprising if she ended up with Jody? A lot of her early flings were purely physical and with Jody being a good looking man, this could've totally actually happened.
Jody would end up being with Sheila after Karen dumped him, but had Fiona stepped in, it would have been quite understandable. Of course, Jimmy would have had to have been gone earlier for this to have had occurred.
2 Monica And Clayton
It was a complete bombshell when Ian found out that Clayton was his real father. Clayton also had a very deep attraction to Monica, even though he was married. However, it would have not been shocking at all had the two ended up together.
It was immensely challenging for Clayton to reject Monica's advances in the series. It also was clear that he did care for her as an individual too, so a potential relationship between the two was there. Monica had shown that she was not the most loyal of dating partners in the past too.
1 Kermit And Tommy
Kermit and Tommy have been best friends the whole series, but the newest season took it a step further. They would shockingly hook up, whilst heavily under the influence, but perhaps it could blossom into something more.
These two have been inseparable at the bar and have a close friendship because of this. However, maybe there is simply something more with them brewing after what had occurred. A relationship between them would be one of the most surprising turns of events in this show's whole run, but it would also be epic.
