Let's talk about Debbie Gallagher from Shameless. We all know her. She's the one who... well, let's just say she makes choices. Big choices. Sometimes questionable choices.
And when it comes to her "first time," things get a little... murky. It's not exactly a clear-cut scene. We all remember when she had Frank (her father) buy her diapers, formula, clothes, and other basic items for a baby. But with who did Debbie lost her v card?
The Derek Dilemma
Remember Derek? Debbie's baby daddy. The one who disappeared almost as quickly as he appeared. He was definitely in the running for first-time honors, right?
But here's the thing. Did we actually *see* it happen? Nope! We saw a lot of awkward teenage angst and hormonal tension. But no actual confirmation.
Maybe that's why so many people are confused! It's all implication, no concrete evidence.
The Unpopular Opinion: I Think It Was Matt
Okay, buckle up. This might be controversial. I think her first time was with Matt! The older guy she met at the laundromat. Hear me out!
He was clearly grooming her to be with him, manipulating her. That relationship was creepy. He was an older gentleman, if it can be said so. But the thing is, it makes more sense story-wise.
Why Matt Makes More Sense
Think about Debbie's character arc. She's always looking for someone to take care of her. Always searching for that stability she never had. Matt offered her that, in his own twisted way. It's possible that Debbie lost her v card with Matt.
Derek felt more like a teenage fling. A mistake. Matt, though? That felt like a deliberate choice, even if a bad one. It was a turning point for her.
Maybe it's because I found the Matt storyline so much more unsettling. It felt like a proper loss of innocence. It's what would make sense for the writing.
But... Wait!
I know, I know. Many people believe it was Derek. And that's totally valid! The show never explicitly states it. We are going by subtext and assumptions.
Plus, let's be honest, Shameless isn't exactly known for its delicate handling of... well, anything. Details get glossed over.
It's left open to interpretation. Maybe that's the point!
So, Who Was It?
Ultimately, it's up to you to decide! Was it the fleeting Derek? Or the more sinister Matt?
Perhaps it was someone else entirely! A random encounter we never saw. Shameless can be like that.
Whatever the answer, one thing's for sure: Debbie Gallagher always keeps us guessing.
And that's part of what makes her so endlessly fascinating to watch. Even when we want to scream at her choices.
What do you think? Let me know your theory. I'm ready for a debate! Do you think it was Derek or Matt that took Debbie's v card?
Regardless of your answer, let's all agree that Debbie's journey is never boring.
