I watched Shameless til around season four and just could not stomach it any longer. It had so much potential but turned into a Family Guy Parody with bad writing and odd storylines... I grew up poor, I am poor, with Bipolar and abusive parents and am gay, I have been in their shoes a lot. I want to write a very specific character to help them out...

I want the character to be introduced around Season one, a male nurse or social worker that is gay and bipolar ( Self insert territory I know) that is somehow introduced to the character and tries to help them.

He helps them get funds, reliable jobs and income. Getting Fiona training for example so she can get a great job but makes sure she does not steal, which teh Gallaghers would most definitely do cause they are parasites.

He helps Ian get diagnosed earlier and get away from his gross relationship with Nash

He helps Lip get and stay in college.

Debbie gets full therapy and is never a rapist/sex offender as she was in canon.

He would help get the house repaired and the kids things they need.

Frank would be banished.

You get the idea...

It would not be a fixall but it would be something to start with...

Thoughts?

The only issues I am having it how the series was allergic to progress, stopping the use of drugs/alcohol which made the Gallaghers stupider... and dealing with the Gallaghers being outright parasites... which they were to everyone, It was awful to watch them destroy anyone that helped them.
