I agree. I actually think Sammi's reason for being this season is giving Sheila some story.

As for Lip, I think we are going to see him take a fall now that he's really trying to do good. I hope he ends up overcoming whatever huge obstacle is thrown his way.

OK, so the final two eps of S4. I watched them a few nights ago, so I don't have too much to share at this point.

Mickey's coming out was pitch perfect. The entire plot of the episode worked, Noel rocked every single line, and it was just flawless. I'm so happy to have stuck with this storyline because it really has been very satisfying. I think the #1 thing I love about S4 is that these characters, all of them, have really gone on true journeys that brought about major changes.

Sheila and Sammy can just go away, to be honest. I loved Sheila, and I thought she was awesome in her role as Karen's mother, but if obsessing over Frank and having outlandish storylines will be her only purpose, then I'd just rather them write her out. Everything with her is just bad and conflicted with the rest of the show this season.

They certainly put it out there Lip is supposed to be the responsible sibling vs. Fiona as the irresponsible sibling, and I'm all for that because I've always seen the potential in Lip to be successful and the potential in Fiona to be a massive f*ck-up, but I think they went too far with Fi. She's a screw-up, but they basically stripped her of all of the positive qualities she's had over the years. All of the prison stuff was very contrived and hollow.

Ian's bipolar stuff is interesting, and Mickey's response is spot-on for someone who's just finally allowed himself to accept his love for this person but is now being confronted with the possibility to losing him. I just hope they don't lose the dirty, grimy core of who Mickey is in all of this.

Debbie's story made absolutely no sense throughout the entire season, which is a shame because it had a promising start. Matt was a pointless character who's motives were never made clear at all.

The season premiere is free on demand, so I guess I'll get to it soon. I did watch the very beginning earlier, and lovely to see Emma Greenwell's name no longer in the opening credits. Mandy should only recur as Mickey's sister/Ian's friend at this point because her future with Lip is nonexistent. He barely thought about her all season outside of a comfort f*ck.

I watched the season premiere, and it looks like it's gonna be a great season!! I just love how the show's music and cinematography are directly linked to whatever season of the year it's set in. The music in particular was pretty good all throughout S4 and looks like that'll keep going into S5.

Sheila, Sammy, and Frank can all go, to be honest, especially now that Frank has seemingly learned nothing from his brush with death. Take Chuckie's fat ass too.

Carl's injury is random, must be something that happened to the actor in real life. Now that his voice has dropped, I hope they start doing real things with the character because he's gonna look stupid doing the same old things.

I HATE the fact that Debbie's helping Frank with his beer stuff. Just gross. Another character who seemingly never changed during last season.

Lip :wub: Love that he's over all of the south side BS.

I'm not crazy about Mickey selling other people's stuff, but I guess I'd rather that than him being whitewashed into upstanding citizen. I hope Ian's little trysts isn't their "story" because, as cliche as it sounds, I'd like to see them deal with something as a couple this season before problems arise. I don't expect them to be at Kev/V levels of stable, but it's just annoying that the second they are publicly official, something crops up to tear them apart.

Fiona is back to herself this season, thank god, and I enjoyed her in the premiere. I wish she'd stop hooking up with her bosses, though. I like the dynamics of the diner, and I really liked that the guy was strict on her about the money owed for the pie after the Gallaghers ate there. A huge thing with Fiona is that she's used to people letting her get away with things.

Kev/V are gold. Glad they can have problems without having problems with each other. Not surprised at all with Kev jumping into the mother role with the kids while V is not as nurturing. It'll be interesting to see if/how they go down the househusband/working mom route. V running the Alibi would be epic.

      Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.

      It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..

      Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them?

      Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.

      Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!

      That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.

      Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.

      I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.

      I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.
