Emma Kenney Preview’s Tonight’s SHAMELESS Season Finale Shocker, Reflects on Debbie’s Biggest Season Yet
Emma Kenney has had quite the season playing Debbie Gallagher on Showtime’s addictive, over-the-top, comedy, SHAMELESS. We’ve seen her character grow so much this season, whether it’s embracing her independence or having her first real relationship, our little Gallagher is growing up. I chatted with the talented young actress about her character’s growth this season, Bianca and Sammie joining the show, and what we can look forward to in tonight’s season finale.
Debbie’s changed a lot over the years. How has that been for you?
It’s kind of like how we are in life, we are constantly changing and experiencing new things that make us change as people. It’s been fun to play Debbie like that and really get to see her as more of an older teenager with different kinds of responsibilities and focuses in her life besides her family, like we’ve seen in previous seasons.
Do you like Debbie’s relationship with Derek? (Luca Oriel) Do you think he’s a good match for her?
Yeah, I definitely do! I remember when I read the first episode with Derek she was kind of playing hard to get in sort of a mean way. I remember thinking “he kind of seems like a jerk and I don’t think they are going to be good together.” But we really get to see that Derek has a soft spot for Debbie and he’s really sweet together, and he definitely treats her well, I really like them together.
How do you feel about Bianca’s (Bojana Novakovic) storyline with Frank (William H. Macy) this season?
I love that storyline! It’s kind of interesting and really nice to see Frank genuinely in love. We’ve seen him with Monica (Chloe Webb) but I almost don’t think that’s love in a way, he’s infatuated with Bianca and we kind of see a sparkle in his eye. Bill Macy is playing that storyline beautifully and obviously so is Bojana. It’s a nice difference, it shows that Frank doesn’t just care about himself and that he is putting all of his energy and worries into someone other than himself, and not worries like how much alcohol he has or when he’s going to get drunk, he’s showing responsibility, which is nice.
How do you think Sammie has shaken up the Gallagher household this season?
I love Emily Bergl so much as a person, but I hate Sammie the character. That just means Emily is playing her well because that’s the point. I think it’s kind of interesting to see, ever since Sammie joined the show and joined becoming a Gallagher last season I’ve noticed the Gallagher’s don’t like change and we changed a lot this season with Carl especially and Debbie too, everybody really. Imagine adding someone to your family, that’s just weird for anybody, especially the Gallagher’s who are a tight-knit group. It’s weird to see Sammie in the Gallagher house because she is sort of breaking the cycle.
How will we see Debbie react to the news that Sammie isn’t dead?
Well you’ll have to just watch and see! The storyline with Mickey (Noel Fisher) and Debbie where they plan to kill Sammie was one of my favorite storylines to do. Working with Noel Fisher is amazing; you instantly become a better actor whenever you’re around his presence because he is so talented. He’s also so nice and so fun to work with; he’s such a positive, good person. We were dying and cracking up filming those scenes. The part in the scene where Debbie is in her bed explaining to Mickey her whole dream sequence. They had the cameras rolling for fifteen minutes improvising and we were doing all of these facial expressions and we kept laughing. It was really great!
What shows are you loving on TV right now?
I don’t really watch TV, I just watch Netflix. GOSSIP GIRL is my all time favorite show, and I’ve been watching BATES MOTEL on Netflix and it’s really good. Psycho is one of my all time favorite movies and Alfred Hitchcock was my favorite director.
What can you tell us about tonight’s finale?
For my character at least there is such a shocking scene, I don’t even know how it’s going to play out. There’s a lot of suspense for sure, I think every season finale that SHAMELESS has ever had has had a big cliffhanger and this season one of the bigger cliffhangers is involving my character. So I’m really excited about that!
You can watch Emma on the season finale of SHAMELESS tonight on Showtime.

Rachel Brosnahan Previews THE DOVEKEEPERS, Talks HOUSE OF CARDS
*This article contains major HOUSE OF CARDS spoilers
Rachel Brosnahan captivated us with her mesmerizing work in Netflix’s HOUSE OF CARDS and shocked us with her powerful presence in MANHATTAN, tonight we get to see her in an all new light on the CBS two-night miniseries, THE DOVEKEEPERS.
Over the last year Brosnahan has become one of the most promising actors to watch, role after role she keeps delighting us. Brosnahan has such a wonderful career ahead of her and we are privileged to get to watch her grow and perform.
I caught up with the phenomenal young actress about her thoughts on her characters death on HOC, her character Yael in THE DOVEKEEPERS, and what we can look forward to in tonight’s installment of the beloved book’s adaption.
Did you think that Doug would actually kill Rachel?
I definitely saw it coming; it’s a show where no one is safe ever. I was thrilled and surprised that I lasted as long as I did. I think it was the only way Doug (Michael Kelly) could move forward, it had to happen or he couldn’t return to his usual ruthless self. It wasn’t too much of a surprise.
How was your whole experience working on HOC?
It was an absolute dream come true! It was my first job post college and I was only supposed to have five lines or so and it turned into this wonderful, complex, and challenging arc and it was the best job I’ve ever had and maybe will ever have.
THE DOVEKEEPERS premieres tonight! For those who aren’t familiar with the book, what can you tell us about the story of these women?
It’s about three complex and unique women who find each other under this great oppression that they are facing from the Romans. They have escaped from their hometown of Jerusalem and they are living together in the hidden Masada where they are hoping to band together and survive.
What drew you to Yael? What about her story stood out to you?
I was lucky enough to read the book and I thought that she was so incredibly complex and asked a lot of questions that were very unusual for her time. It’s a lot about questioning of faith and coming of age and I thought she was very strong, resilient, pretty badass, she’s fearless and she’s very courageous.
Can you tell us anything about Yael’s relationship with her father?
They have a difficult relationship; Yael’s mother died in childbirth and her father unfortunately blames her quite a bit for that. They have suffered a great loss and unfortunately that’s how he has dealt with it. Clearly she feels an enormous amount of guilt, he has made her feel as though she has committed the greatest sin at birth, which is murder and she will never be forgiven. I won’t give too much away but you definitely see a lot of their relationship explored.
What can you tell us about the first half of the mini series?
You meet the three women, you’ll meet Shirah, (Cote de Pablo) Yael, and Aziza (Kathryn Prescott) you will see them flee their homes. You’ll learn a lot about their back-stories and see them grow together.
You mentioned that you just graduated college as a young actor what have you learned and taken with you with these experiences?
I learn so many new things everyday; I think that’s been the biggest thing. Every time you think you have a handle on something it changes. I’ve learned to remain open; I’ve learned how important my time at school was as well. I don’t think I appreciated nearly as much when I was in school. I’ve learned how important my training has been with creating a foundation for me as an actor. Also how important it is to take big risks and make big moves and to try and not be afraid of the outcome.
What shows are you loving on TV right now?
There are so many good ones out there right now it’s incredible! I’ve been obsessed with ORPHAN BLACK! I came a little late to the party but I’ve been loving it and I cannot wait for the third season to start airing
You can watch Rachel in THE DOVEKEEPERS tonight and tomorrow night at 9:00 EST on CBS.
*I highly recommend you watch Rachel in the GREY’S ANTOMY episode, “The Face of Change.” She is incredibly powerful as Brian Weston and portrays the character with such grace.
