Days of Emmy Rossum Shameless may be behind her, but her friendships from that time are still flourishing!
The Angelyne star reunited with ex Shameless costar Ethan Cutkosky on Wednesday, and shared two sweet selfies from their run to mark the moment. Boasting a huge smile on her face, Rossum, 37, captioned the photos: “This brings me so much joy.”
Cutkosky (24) commented on the post with two black heart emojis. Other commenters were quick to poke fun at the TV show, including calling Cutkosky “white boy Carl” — even when he was all grown up off-screen.
Rossum and Cutkosky played the Gallagher siblings on the Showtime series, which aired from 2011 to 2021. Rossum appeared as the oldest sister, Fiona, who took on the role of surrogate parent for her absentee father, Frank Gallagher (William H. Macy). . Cutkosky played Carl, who was known as the rebel of the Gallagher family. The early seasons featured the pre-teen selling drugs, which eventually landed Carl in juvenile detention.

Although Shameless aired until 2021, Rossum stepped down from the role of Fiona before season 10.
“The opportunity to play Fiona was a gift,” Rossum wrote on Facebook when she announced her departure. “There are few characters – female or otherwise – so layered and dynamic. She is a mother lioness, fierce, flawed and sexually liberated. She is hurt, vulnerable, but she will never give up.”
The cast of ‘Shameless’: Where are they now?
“I know you will continue without me, for now. There is much more to the Gallagher story to tell. I will always support my family – she concluded. “Try not to think of me as missing, just me moving down the block.”
Macy applauded Rossum’s decision to leave the show before its final two seasons. “It’s hard not to think: ‘What would my life be like afterShameless?’ Part of it is very scary and part of it is very exciting,” he said Entertainment Weekly in that time. “She’s young and I think she made the right choice.”
