IMDB the Spoiler

So I watched the latest episode of Shameless last night and it featured an actress I know I've seen in a previous BBC America show. It's been driving me crazy what that other show was called (I only just remembered as I was typing this that it's "Waterloo Road") so in an effort to figure it out I tried scanning the cast list for Shameless on IMDB (for naught, she wasn't listed there).

However, since IMDB lists the number of episodes in which each actor appeared, and since Shameless has made it through five seasons in the UK while the US is only up to Season 3, I now know that a number of my favorite characters are not going to make it until the end of the show. The first season featured James McAvoy and his actual wife so clearly they weren't going to be on for long but I did not guess that some of the other actors wouldn't be around for the end. I guess I will stick it out and see how each one exits but now that I can countdown how many episodes each has left, it's not quite the same. Damn you IMDB!
