Supporting Cast: Are You There, Shim? – Shameless

Here are some of the actors and actresses who appeared in the premiere episode of Shameless, Season 9 (9-9-18): The recap of the episode is here.

That’s probably the worst lay I will ever have

Kate Miner played Tami, who is Cami’s sister. Cami and Brad got married in this episode so Tami is now his sister-in-law and Brad encouraged Lip to take Tami out on a date because he thought they hit it off at the wedding. It was more like Lip hit it. Tami was obviously drunk. She threw up while they were in flagrante delicto. That was pretty gross but Lip asked her out to dinner anyway. Tami wasn’t drunk when she turned him down and rated him a big fat zero on the hookup. Tami seems like a crazy maneater but we’re betting that Lip will take that as a challenge and continue to pursue her.

Don’t worry, sir! Nobody will ever find the body

Robert Ochoa played Cadet Dave Huntington. He’s sort of the Private Pyle of Carl’s platoon, but he felt so bad about the possibility of Carl not getting promoted to cadet lieutenant because of him and Kassidi (Carl’s crazy wife), that he decided to kill Kassidi! If Huntington is such a screw-up, the chances that they will find the body are excellent. (We don’t even want to contemplate the possibility that she is alive and will return). Rest in peace, Kassidi!

24 minutes in the can during an 8-hour shift

Glenn Plummer played Jacob, Debbie’s sexist boss who was really paying her $3.00 less an hour than the guys just because “you’re a girl.” He claimed he timed her bathroom break, but for an 8-hour shift, she was getting $24 less a day for the same work, not $12.00 less if he was really going to dock her for a half hour. Next week, we’re sure Debbie will be raising a stink about him calling her “Jugs.”

Andrew Bowen, who played Darren at the PTA meeting, tweeted out this picture of the whole gang:
