The following is a list of fictional characters from the British drama Shameless, created by Paul Abbott, which began broadcasting on Channel 4 in 2004. The programme is set on the fictional Chatsworth Estate in suburban Manchester, and the surrounding area and primarily follows the lives of the Gallagher family and the neighbouring Maguire family, and their friends and neighbours in the town's shops and local pub the Jockey. The first series focused on layabout Frank Gallagher and the lives of his six children, Fiona and boyfriend Steve, Lip, Ian, Carl, Debbie and Liam, and next door neighbours, Kev and Veronica. When the second series began, the Maguire family were introduced, with certain episodes just focusing on their family, and both the Maguire family and Gallagher coming into contact and conflict, with marriage, teenage pregnancies and neighbourhood rivalry. Other characters have also taken major focus throughout the years after only starting of as minor characters, such as the Karib family. Since the series started, the Gallagher family has split hugely, with most of the Gallagher children departing the show, due to the actors moving onto bigger things and taking on other projects. Beginning with the latest series of the programme, Carl Gallagher is the only Gallagher sibling remaining in the show.
