While the chemistry is undeniable between Fiona and Jimmy, it’s clear after a couple of episodes how self-destructive a relationship is for both of them. They both desperately want a release from their respective traumas and horrors, but their emotional baggage finds a way to continuously seep into their relationship.
In 2015, Justin Chatwin looked back on his character’s feelings toward Fiona in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and whether he personally was rooting for them to stay together. While he did not provide a direct answer, Chatwin did draw parallels between the “Shameless” characters and Romeo and Juliet. He said, “It’s interesting because when I was pitched the show, [they] said that this [relationship] is a really f—ed up version of true love. These two are meant for each other; they are the heart of the story; it’s Romeo & Juliet. So, I’ve always rooted for the two of them because they were both really damaged people [whose] hearts lined up because they were both broken.”
Just because two people are meant for each other doesn’t necessarily mean they are healthy for one another. Fiona learned that the hard way, and even when other men came into her life, she couldn’t let go of Jimmy. In fact, she eventually had to leave her entire family behind to try to get a fresh start, so hopefully, Fiona managed to find peace at some point.
