Carl’s girlfriend Kassidi is killed off-screen between seasons 8 and 9.
In the Showtime series “Shameless,” Carl Gallagher, one of the middle Gallagher children, has a tumultuous love life, which includes a relationship with a character named Kassidi. Kassidi, portrayed by actress Sammi Hanratty, is introduced in the eighth season as a teenager who quickly becomes obsessed with Carl. Their relationship progresses rapidly, and they even get married in a spur-of-the-moment decision.
However, between the eighth and ninth seasons, Kassidi’s character is written out of the show in a rather abrupt manner. It is implied that she was killed off-screen, although the details of her death are not explicitly shown or described in the series. The storyline suggests that Kassidi was accidentally killed by one of the new cadets at the military school Carl was attending, as she had been camping outside the school gates to be near him. Her death is mentioned casually, and the show does not dwell on it, focusing instead on Carl’s continued development and the other Gallagher family members’ storylines. Kassidi’s off-screen death is one of the many dramatic turns in the series, which is known for its portrayal of the chaotic and often tragic lives of the Gallagher family.
