Emmy Rossum‘s return to Shameless was unfortunately nixed by the pandemic.
The Showtime series’ showrunner, John Wells, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about what they had planned and how the pandemic ruined it all.
“We were trying to get Emmy — and Emmy wanted to come back… We wanted her to return and had some storylines about her coming back and she wanted to do it,” he shared, however, “based on what was going on with the pandemic, when we were planning it… the quarantines went back into effect between New York [where Rossum resides] and Los Angeles [where Shameless films] and it was impossible to figure out how to get her back.”
John said that not having her back was a big disappointment, calling it “a very minor but sad result of everything that’s happened in the pandemic.”
