series - Lost, I'm looking at you) that the story arc girds you quite well for even fundamental shifts, and instills great anticipation. While it seems evident that Series III will commence with casting changes, this production is so incredibly well planned (unlike most U.S. I'm so glad I found out about it when Series II had already completed, and could enjoy it from episode 1.1 through the end of series II. The story lines are both outrageous and once you spend a few minutes with this family absolutely believable, and move at an enervatingly brisk while gratifyingly even pace. Each is fully realized with a light and dark side, shown incrementally and alternately through their actions and their reluctantly expressed concerns. Sean's character was created to replace Charlie, after all, with many of the preplanned Shameless season 5 story elements for Jeffrey Dean Morgan carrying over to Dermot Mulroney.From the very first episode you will be drawn into the lives of each of the principal characters - warts and haloes and all. However, it's likely that the role Sean ended up playing in Shameless would be more-or-less identical to Charlie's if Jeffrey Dean Morgan hadn't left the show. There's never been an official explanation given for what happened to Charlie Peters, who Jeffrey Dean Morgan played in Shameless, and since the role wasn't recast there's been speculation about where his arc could have gone. The Shameless writers had plans for Jeffrey Dean Morgan's character, and many viewers have wondered what his narrative arc would have been. However, Jeffrey Dean Morgan's role on Shameless wasn't intended to be a cameo from an up-and-comer.

While it's a pity it didn't work out, Morgan's star would soon rise even further in 2016 thanks to The Walking Dead and his Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice cameo as Thomas Wayne. When it was clear that scheduling conflicts between the two shows were too big a burden to bear, Charlie was written out and his arc assigned to new character Sean Pierce (Dermot Mulroney), who took over as Fiona's boss and love interest at Patsy's Pies. Fortunately for Jeffrey Dean Morgan, backing the wrong horse wasn't a huge career setback in this instance. Texas Rising only lasted for one season in 2015, whereas Shameless run until its final season in 2021. The Texas Rising miniseries features Bill Paxton and Ray Liotta, and it's a History Channel show based on the Texas Revolution against Mexico. Sadly, as Jeffrey Dean Morgan himself would later explain, his filming schedule for the miniseries Texas Rising prevented him from returning to Shameless despite both productions trying to make it work.
