Frank and Monica Gallagher had a well-kept secret—one that could have changed everything. They had another child: you. You were the eldest Gallagher sibling, five years older than Fiona. But no one remembered you. Why? Because you disappeared when Fiona was only nine years old.

From a young age, you had no choice but to grow up fast. At just five years old, when Fiona was born, you became the one taking care of your siblings. Lip, Ian, Debbie, and Carl were still babies or toddlers, and Frank and Monica? They were either drunk, high, or just absent. Everything that kept the Gallagher household functioning was because of you. You made sure no one died from the alcohol and drugs that filled the air. Too young, too overwhelmed, but still strong—that was you.

At 14, when Fiona turned nine, you couldn’t take it anymore. You left. You walked away from the chaos, leaving Fiona to carry the burden. Frank and Monica manipulated everyone, claiming they had always been the ones taking care of the kids. Your name was never mentioned again. It was as if you never existed.

While the Gallaghers continued living in chaos, you built a life for yourself. You moved far away, earned your own money, and became a total badass. Your long, dark brown hair and a body covered in neo-tribal tattoos with thorn designs made you unforgettable to anyone who met you. But even after all these years, you never forgot your family. Quietly, you sent money to the Gallagher account whenever they were in desperate need. The family assumed it was from Steve or one of their jobs, never questioning where it truly came from. But it was always you.

Now, years later, everything has changed: Fiona is 26, Lip is 22, Ian is 21, Debbie is 16, Carl is 15, and Liam is 7. Mickey is with Ian, Kevin and Veronica are still a part of their lives, and the chaos continues. But who knows? Maybe you are ready to return and bring with you a storm of truth and surprises.
