Apprently so, Maxine Peake, has announced she wont even be returning to film an exit scene, and Kev (Dean Lennox) is also leaving.

For all you who are wondering, my source is digital spy. It's a great shame though, they were some of my favourite characters. Anyway heres the DS story:

Shameless star Maxine Peake has announced that she is quitting the show.

The actress revealed that screen partner Kev, played by Dean Lennox Kelley, will also be leaving the fictional Chatsworth estate in Manchester.

"I'm not going back at all. I don't know how they'll explain Kev and Veronica's exit. But I'm sure, in true Shameless fashion, they'll manage it no problem," Maxine explained.

"I could be cutting my nose off to spite my face but that's why I wanted to act - to do as many different projects as possible."

Peake appeared as Myra Hindley in ITV's See No Evil: The Moors Murders this week.

So there you have it. No more Kev or Veronica next series.

We already knew duck, been talked about in here at great length, but thanks anyway!

I read this earlier; I'm quite annoyed they won't be filming any leaving scenes.
