Fiona Gallagher, the eldest daughter of the Gallagher family, was a central character in the long-running Showtime series Shameless. Her departure in the ninth season was a significant event for fans.
Fiona's exit was due to the actress who played her, Emmy Rossum, deciding to leave the show. She had been with Shameless since the beginning, and her character had grown and changed significantly over the years. Rossum stated that she wanted to pursue other creative opportunities and explore new roles.
Rossum's departure was a creative decision that allowed the show to focus on other characters and explore new storylines.
While some fans were disappointed to see Fiona go, the showrunners ultimately decided to write her out in a way that felt satisfying and true to her character. The final season of the show focused on the other Gallagher siblings, and it was a fitting end to the story.
