Only A Gallagher Can Name All Of These Shameless Characters

Shameless is one of those shows that makes it really hard to keep track of all the characters. There have been so many seasons and so many different characters have come and gone throughout the years, whether as partners, friends or other random side characters. Although most of us know the names of the Gallagher family that we all so love to watch in all their dysfunctional glory, the names of the more minor characters that have starred over the years sometimes fall to the wayside.

Some of these characters have continued to appear throughout the years, such as the middle-aged men who are always at the bar drinking with Frank. But others, particularly the partners of our main characters, have been introduced and have left the show often within the span of one season. Such is the nature of the Gallagher family. The only constant with them is instability, with the people they call their significant others and their friends often changing from year to year. This makes the drama of their highly-eventful lives a lot of fun to watch on screen, but it can get hard to keep track of all the people who have been a part of the Gallaghers' lives. Can anyone name all these characters?

Question 1

Who is this character?

This Gallagher is one of the central characters on the show. She is one of the younger siblings, although now that we're so far into the show, even the young characters are teenagers. Although she started out as a kid on the show, this character has blossomed into a responsible, high-functioning adult fully capable of looking after the child she ends up giving birth to as a teenager. Nowadays, she is working as a welder and she's become the mom of the household given that her older sister is having a bit of a rough time. Can anyone remember her name?

Question 2

Who is this character (left)?

This character was one of the Gallaghers' great loves. It had a rocky start, with this character often picking on the Gallagher in question, but eventually, the two realize that the fiery chemistry between them is actually romantic in nature, and they start up a relationship. Things are a bit of a rollercoaster from the beginning, but the two usually end up coming back to one another, no matter what. Recently, this character was in jail, but when the Gallagher in question goes to jail as well, the two are finally able to be together. What is the name of this character?

Question 3

Who is this character?

This character has always been one of the most fun to watch. Whether she is getting... er, let's say "handsy" with the characters on the show, or getting rather creative with her business ventures at the bar, this character always does things her way, and she lets nobody prevent her from doing things exactly the way she wants to be doing them. Although she's not quite as prominent in the series anymore now that she and one of the show's main couples aren't a "thrupple" anymore, she still dominates the show whenever she's onscreen. Does any Shameless fan know this character's name?

Question 4

Who is this character?

This character has been one of the central Gallaghers from the show's very beginning. Between his incredible intellect, his witty one-liners and his kind tendencies, this character is hard not to love, even when he's having a rough time of it. In recent seasons, he's struggled quite a bit with his relationships and his addiction issues, but in the most recent season, he's conquered his demons, for the most part, and he seems to be building meaningful and lasting relationships with the people around him. Although he's not in university anymore, we predict great things for this character. Does anyone remember his name?

Question 5

Who is this character?

This character is the neighbour of the Gallaghers on the South Side, living next door with his wife and children. Although he can be a bit dense, he is as kind and sweet a man as you can ask for, and he will do most anything for his wife and children. The Gallaghers are part of his adopted family, and he often comes to their aid when they need help. Between his clumsiness, his loving personality and his loyalty, this character seems more like a giant puppy dog than a human sometimes. Can any Shameless fans remember this character's name?

Question 6

Who is this character?

This character is one of the show's main characters, and it's kind of hard to imagine what the show is going to be like when she leaves at the end of this season. Having been more or less abandoned by her parents from a young age, this Gallagher was forced to act as a parent to the rest of her siblings as a teenager, and as a result, she ended up putting her life on hold while she cared for her family the way her parents should have done. In the recent seasons, she met with great success in her business ventures, but recently, she's been struggling quite a bit. Can anyone remember her name?

Question 7

Who is this character?

This character was one of the Gallagher brothers' main love interests in the early seasons. In fact, it was because of her that this particular Gallagher went off to university in the first place. Despite his impressive intelligence and success at school, this Gallagher didn't take applications seriously, and it was only through the actions of this character that he ended up getting into a university and going off to school. This character fell quite hard for this particular Gallagher, and things didn't end all that well between the two of them after it became clear that he didn't reciprocate the depth of her feelings. Which character is this?

Question 8

Who is this character?

This character was another love interest of one of the Gallagher brothers. She and this particular Gallagher attended high school together, and they embarked on a rather raucous relationship that would take its toll on both of them. For the Gallagher, this character was not a good match, as she often embraced drama and took him down a peg. And for this gal, her relationship with the Gallaghers would eventually lead to her getting... well, hit by a car. Eventually, she ended up getting together with a different man and driving off into the sunset. Can anyone remember her name?

Question 9

Who is this character?

This character is the head of the Gallagher brood (at least in name, but certainly not in the way he acts). As the father, he is the one who should have been there for his kids while they were growing up, but given his issues with addiction, his lack of responsibility and the fact that he likely has some sort of personality disorder, he wasn't at all present during the childhood of his children. Instead, it was his eldest daughter who ended up taking care of his other children. Despite his shortcomings, there's something very satisfying about watching this particular Gallagher onscreen. Can anyone remember his name?

Question 10

Who is this character?

This Gallagher is the youngest of the bunch, and he's taken on a much more prominent role in recent seasons. In the beginning of the show, this character was too young to have many speaking lines, but now, he's in elementary school and proving to be quite a promising child. Between his good sense, his quick wit and his skill in school, it would be unsurprising if this Gallagher followed in his oldest brother's footsteps and went off to college when he gets old enough. Unfortunately, he was unable to stay at the elite school he was attending, but this kid will meet with success wherever he ends up. What is his name?

Question 11

Who is this character?

This character was the love interest of the eldest Gallagher sister a couple seasons ago. The two fell quite hard for one another despite their age difference, and things seemed to be quite promising between them. In fact, they almost got married. It was only during the wedding when it was revealed that this character had fallen back into his old addictive ways that the relationship fell apart. Throughout his time on the show, this character struggled with addiction, but it seemed as if most of it was behind him. Can anyone remember the name of this character from Shameless?

Question 12

Who is this character?

This character is one of the main Gallaghers on the show. He is one of the younger brothers, and his storyline has been quite tumultuous throughout the years. He's gone from being a rather troubled kid (selling some unsavoury substances on the street) to being a model soldier with eyes on becoming a star member of the USA's army. Although his path has changed numerous times during the series, this is part of what has made this character so interesting to watch onscreen. Recently, he's been struggling with his relationship. Can anyone remember what the name of this particular Gallagher brother is?

Question 13

Who is this character (left)?

This character was one of the main love interests for two of the characters on the show back in the early seasons (and those two characters were mother and daughter- only on Shameless, right?). He became well known for his quirky... ah, let's say "tastes" and his tendency to walk around the house without many clothes on. Although he hasn't been on the show since he drove off into the sunset with one of the show's early characters, he certainly made an impact while he was a part of the story. Can anyone remember the name of this character from Shameless?

Question 14

Who is this character?

This character is hard not to love and dislike at the same time. She is the mother of the Gallagher brood, and although she sure tries her best to be there for her kids from time to time, she's usually missing in action, off with boyfriends or finding ways of getting in trouble. She deals with mental health issues, which makes it difficult for her to maintain long-term relationships or be there for her kids in any capacity. She is well-intentioned, and although she means well, her good intentions often take very strange forms (like that odd inheritance she left for her kids, if any fans remember). Who is she?

Question 15

Who is this character (right)?

This character was the main love interest of the second-oldest Gallagher son in one of the recent seasons. Although he and the Gallagher start out purely as friends, things start to heat up between the two of them pretty quickly in the season. However, things get a little tricky in their relationship when the Gallagher runs off with one of his old flames and makes for the border. Eventually, the Gallagher realizes that a life on the run isn't for him, and he returns home, but not before his relationship with this character is sullied. What is the name of this character?

Question 16

Who is this character?

This character was a prominent side-character in one of the earlier seasons of Shameless. He was the son of one of Frank's unidentified daughters, and he lived in a trailer with his mother until the two took on a more prominent role on the show. After this, he and his mother moved in with one of the other characters on the show. Devoid of personality, this character didn't have many lines in the show. Eventually, he ended up getting sent to live with his aunts and uncles. Can any Shameless fans remember what the name of this minor character is?

Question 17

Who is this character?

This character has been one of the most prominent non-Gallaghers on the show from the very beginning. She lives next door to the Gallaghers in the South Side with her husband and daughters, and although she's not technically family to the Gallaghers, in practice, she is a member of the Gallagher brood. The two families regularly eat meals together and they act as if they all live in one house most of the time, and whenever the Gallaghers are in trouble, she is there for them. Between her sass, her strength and her wit, it's hard not to love this character. Can anyone remember what her name is?

Question 18

Who is this character?

This character is an ex of one of the Gallaghers. He is the first boyfriend we see the eldest Gallagher date on the show, and he and the Gallagher in question are quite serious about one another right from the beginning. For the Gallagher sister, this character is a thrill-ride, always offering unexpected surprises. She is enthralled by the mystery of this character, although she eventually realizes that his unpredictability isn't good for her or her family. The two end their relationship, but eventually, he comes back into town, which ends up really complicating the Gallagher sister's life. Who is he?

Question 19

Who is this character?

This character was the ultimate biker chick, working alongside one of the Gallaghers at the bike shop. She and one of the Gallagher men started up a relationship that didn't last very long, and before the end of the season, this character had jetted off somewhere new. She got... ah, let's say pleasure, from smacking her partners in the heat of the moment, which probably wasn't great for her partners, but it certainly was interesting to watch. Although she was only a minor character, we already miss this biker chick. Can any Shameless fans pick out the name of this character?

Question 20

Who is this character (left)?

This character wasn't around for all that long, but he managed to do a lot while he was on the show. Within only a short while of knowing one another, he and one of the Gallaghers ended up getting engaged. As per usual with spur of the moment engagements, the relationship didn't work out all that well, and the two eventually ended up breaking up. It wasn't a great breakup, either, and this character ended up holding a grudge against his ex for a good long time. Does any Shameless fan remember what the name of this minor character is?

Question 21

Who is this character?

This character wasn't around all that long, but she managed to make an impact while she was. An elderly lady, she was the owner of a laundromat that one of the Gallaghers ended up purchasing. Although she had some memory issues, she was a delightful and sweet owner, and it was difficult to watch as the Gallagher in question manipulated her for her own gain. Although this character is not in the series anymore, she was the beginning of the elder Gallagher sister's rise to riches (although there isn't much left of those riches these days). Who is this character?

Question 22

Who is this character (right)?

This character was one of the Gallaghers' recent girlfriends, and she was a doozy. Although the Gallagher in question enjoyed his girlfriend's strong... er, let's say drive, at first, she eventually revealed her true colours to him and he started trying to figure out a way to end things with her. Whether she was taking selfies with corpses or pressuring him to marry her (and he's a teenager, remember), this gal was a lot to take, and it wasn't all that sad when she mysteriously disappeared at the beginning of the current season. Does any Shameless fan remember this character's name?

Question 23

Who is this character?

This character arrived on the scene when one of the Gallaghers' exes came back into town. She isn't a major character. In fact, she's barely even a minor character, only appearing in a handful of episodes. But she manages to make an impact in the few episodes she appears in. The first time we see her, she is pulling up to the Gallagher house with the ex in question, and she asks him if he wants to go into the house. He replies, "No, not tonight," and this is the beginning of quite a bit of drama in the Gallagher household. Who is this character?

Question 24

Who is this character?

This character was on the show during the first few seasons, and although she's gone now, every Shameless fan should remember her very well. From her dislike of going outside her house to her adorably caring personality to her strange... preferences in the bedroom, this character was one of the most unique people on the show (and that's really saying something, given the kinds of people that appear on this show). She was hilarious, strange and sweet all at the same time, and we miss everything about her. Can any Shameless fan remember what the name of this character was?

Question 25

Who is this character?

This character was a central influence in one of the Gallaghers' lives when he went off to college. Although this Gallagher was clearly a genius from a young age, he can't escape his genetic predispositions, and he eventually ends up struggling with alcoholism. However, this character, who is one of his professors, helps him to overcome his issues. He also struggles with addiction, so he understands what this Gallagher is going through. Although things don't end so well for this character, he's the reason this particular Gallagher is doing so well these days, so we'll always remember him. Does anyone remember this character's name?

Question 26

Who is this character?

This character became a central part of the seasons when a certain Gallagher brother went off to college. Leaving behind his high school sweetheart and starting life anew as a freshman, this Gallagher met this character at school and the two had instant chemistry. As things often do in undergrad, things got a little dramatic between the two of them and the relationship did not end on good terms. In fact, this character is a big part of the reason this Gallagher brother was unable to complete his degree. Can any Shameless fans remember what the name of this character is?

Question 27

Who is this character?

This character was introduced in the latest season and she's become a big part of the show. We first meet her in a hospital when the Gallagher father has a rather difficult encounter with her (basically, she attacks him), which for some reason leaves him enamoured with her. He tracks her down and finds out that she actually deals with some mental health issues, which is why she attacked him. The two embark on a lengthy romance, and eventually, the Gallagher father ends up impregnating her with Gallagher genes (his son's, though, not his own). Can anyone remember this character's name?

Question 28

Who is this character?

This character was introduced in earlier seasons and has since passed on. She was a vibrant addition to the show, playing the Gallagher father's love interest. As a medical student who gets diagnosed with a terminal illness, this character starts to realize that she hasn't lived her life to the fullest, and she decides to make the most of the time she has remaining. The Gallagher father decides to help her in her quest to squeeze the most out of her remaining time, and he ends up falling pretty hard for her. When she passes, he is understandably quite upset. Can anyone remember her name?

Question 29

Who is this character (right)?

This character had it pretty rough while he was on the show. He and one of the Gallaghers entered into a hasty relationship, but it became clear quite quickly that the Gallagher in question wasn't interested in him, but rather, the stability and money that he represented. Given that she had recently given birth to a baby girl, she needed someone who could provide in her life, and this character was the perfect choice, even though she didn't have any real feelings for him. This character came to realize that he was being used, and eventually, he ended things with the Gallagher. What is this character's name?

Question 30

Who is this character (left)?

Although it's hard to excuse anything that the Gallagher father does, once we meet his mother, we start to understand a bit more about why he is the way he is. She hasn't appeared on the show for many seasons, but back when she did appear, we learned that she was very foul-mouthed and that she was fresh out of jail. So, although the Gallagher father never should have made the decisions he did, it's easy to see that it would be hard to turn out normal with this lady as a mother. What is the name of this character?

Question 31

Who is this character?

This character was the main love interest for the eldest Gallagher son in one of the recent seasons. This character was the professor of this particular Gallagher at university, and between her mature viewpoints and her impressive intellect, this Gallagher fell hard for her. The fact that she was married and in an open relationship only made her even more fascinating to this Gallagher. However, things didn't end well between the two of them when one of the Gallagher's old flames got jealous and tattled about their relationship to the university. Can any Shameless fans remember the name of this particular character?

Question 32

Who is this character?

This character was the flame of the eldest Gallagher son in the last season. The two met while working at Patsy's Pies, and although things were quite casual between the two of them in the beginning, things got a little more serious over time. Eventually, this Gallagher's addiction issues got in the way of their relationship. He managed to straighten himself out, but when he got involved with this character again afterwards, he started to realize that their relationship wasn't quite what he had imagined it to be when he was drinking. Can anyone remember the name of this character?

Question 33

Who is this character (far left)?

This character was the eldest Gallagher sister's love interest in the most recent season, but things go sour between the two of them when it becomes clear that he had a secret family the whole time he was seeing the Gallagher sister. Between his accent and his aloofness, this character was quite mysterious, and it's easy to see how someone might fall for him. However, it turns out he was a little too mysterious. But the youngest Gallagher sister helps to teach him a lesson when she welds something rather unsavoury to his car. Can anyone remember this character's name?

Question 34

Who is this character (right)?

This character was the love interest of one of the Gallagher brothers on the show. A fireman, the two met at work, and things get pretty heated between the couple quite quickly. Things seem to be on a serious track for the two of them, until this character has relations with someone else. This character seems to think that, because he got involved with a woman, it doesn't really count, but to this Gallagher, the gender doesn't matter, and their relationship quickly goes down the drain. Although he wasn't around too long, can anyone remember the name of this character?

Question 35

Who is this character?

This character is the current flame of the younger Gallagher brother. She has been a model soldier from a young age given that her dad was in the military, and she and this particular Gallagher quickly become involved with one another. However, things have gotten a bit complicated between the two lovers in recent episodes given that Gallagher has become suspicious of this character's relationship with his sister. Although they're young, things seemed rather promising between these two characters, and we're hoping things work out for them in the long term. Can any Shameless fans remember what this character's name is?
