NO ! only 16 episodes a year, but like corrie, it will have apermanenet set, instead of what they do now by filming the outside seens in Gorton and the inside scenes in a warehouse. It will just be extended shameless, not a soap like corrie!
No it's not becoming a long running thing just becoming more frequent.
The media have drawn comparison to the soaps mainly because of the new permanent set, which is an extremely rare thing for a British drama series to have. It's mostly just Soaps in Britain that have permanent sets.
Well explained Ryan. Yeah its a drama with a permanent set. So I guess you could visit it. But its not like a soap in that it isnt continuous in time. There are gaps between scenes, episodes and series...

I love Mickey and Ian!!!!! Shameless... That's all I aspire to be!!!!
in 8 episodes of shameless a whole year could go by. Even months could have gone by between each episode. we have to assume this, because otherwise jamie and karen would have got engaged after 3 weeks lol, which is possible but soo daft. And Debbie's boyfriend Luke was gone after the one episode.
There is no sorrow like the memory of love and the knowledge that it is gone forever; even in dreams , i never saw again his face, and though i longed for it, i came at last to see that it was just as well, lest i live all the rest of my life in dreams - Morgaine Le Fay
We havent seen Luke, but she could still be going out with him. Dont forget they were keeping it a secret when they went off to "Walton-on-the-Naze!" for geography field trip and Gospel Camp!
