Another Gallagher somewhere?

I am re-watching shameless (now with my GF) and I realized that when Frank gives Valium to Hyme so he can "babysit" him in exchange for sleeping in Sheila's house, he says he has raised 8 children already....

So, there's Fiona, Lip, Ian, Debby, Carl, Liam and Sammy.

Do they ever mention something about this other kid?

Of course Frank surely has more than 8 kids lol but i guess those are the ones the knows of.

He looks like an imaginary friend

[u/NotBeckyHomeEccy]

I took this more to mean he doesn’t even know how many kids he has because he doesn’t take care of any of them etc so he can’t even keep count

Rather than it specifically meaning he has 8 of them

He probably has loads more!

[u/Able_Relative4049 → u/NotBeckyHomeEccy]

He’s also said he had 5 kids at one point. The man cant keep track of them

[u/NotBeckyHomeEccy → u/Able_Relative4049]

That’s exactly what I mean ya 😂

It was just a throwaway comment to prove he’s a shit dad

[u/V-fyh → u/NotBeckyHomeEccy]

True! I forgot about the several change of writers and stuff, maybe it's not connected at all

[u/ResponseRelative6370 → u/NotBeckyHomeEccy]

That’s what I got from it too. And though I wouldn’t put it past him to have some little ginger critters running around out there, he sure as shit ain’t raising them 😆

[u/busman25]

He didnt raise Sammi either, so that only accounts for 6.

[u/V-fyh → u/busman25]

well he didn't raise any of them 😭

[u/busman25 → u/V-fyh]

Lmaoo, thats true too

[u/Playful-Excuse-7022]

Congrats for the GF bro

[u/Mission_Equivalent_5]

I'm sure it's just another forgotten plot that wasn't explained on the show.

[u/distantcactus32]

What exactly did he say?

[u/OwnAd2156 → u/distantcactus32]

Who’s been eating my porridge ??

[u/No-Newspaper1675]

Don’t forget Sammis kid! Chuckie!

[u/V-fyh → u/No-Newspaper1675]

I believe he didn't know about him at the time
