'Shameless' season 7 spoilers, air date: Fiona discovers Debbie's new hobby
Debbie (Emma Kenney) is going to be a handful in the upcoming season of "Shameless." She is one Gallagher who will give Fiona (Emmy Rossum) major headaches when the show returns this October.
Showtime has released the official teaser for the new installment and as fans can see, the Gallagher family is one huge mess. Although free from father Frank (William H. Macy), the siblings will find that life has not become easier for them. They have to make ends meet and mother figure Fiona is struggling. She has to find a job after splitting up with Sean (Dermot Mulroney).
Last season, the wedding was canceled because Fiona discovered his betrayal. Executive producer Nancy Pimental said in April that it would be tough for everyone, especially Fiona.
The EP teased to The Hollywood Reporter, "The Gallaghers have all had moments where they come out of a fog and can separate from their history, upbringing and where they live and circumstances, but does it stay that way We're talking about a future where Fiona will have more responsibility but gets her wages garnished because she hasn't paid taxes. She's worked hard to be on the up and up and it becomes a question of: Is it worth it? How do they get out of their circumstances?"
Meanwhile, the promo shows Debbie trying to help out Fiona by stealing. Because money is tight, the teen will resort to thievery. Unfortunately for her, it looks like her crime will be discovered soon. Debbie can be heard begging in the clip, entreating someone not to hand her over to the police. What will Fiona do to save Debbie? Will she have to ask Frank, who is thoroughly disgusted with his children, for help?
"Shameless" season 7 premieres on Sunday, Oct. 2, at 9 p.m. EST on Showtime.
