'Shameless' season 6 plot news: William Macy shares details
With the sixth season of "Shameless" currently shooting, actor William H. Macy was able to share a few teasers for the series.
Macy stated that shooting is currently in progress and that he will soon be filming a scene with Emmy Rossum. The scene will focus on pregnancy as they deal with abortion. The actor also shared some of his favorite parts about playing Frank. He said that his character fell in love last season with a character named Bianca. He said, "The two characters, Bianca and Frank, run away to Costa Rica for a couple of weeks. She's dying of cancer and she in fact dies there, but before she does, they spend three weeks on the beach. Any of those scenes, it was just so lovely. Bojana (Novakovic) is just wonderfully talented and so cool and calm and collected and stunningly good looking. Both Frank and I were completely smitten by her! It was so interesting to see a character like Frank Gallagher get the wind taken out of his sails. He was head over heels in love. It was a very interesting thing to act."
However, his character did face a last-minute liver transplant due to liver failure. Therefore, the last season had his character sober, which is a big change from the previous portrayals of Frank. He stated that it presented an interesting acting challenge to play the character sober. He shared that his character became smarter, but more vicious. With that, the lies his character stated soon became hard to distinguish because he knew how to lie so well.
