James Patrick "Jamie" Maguire is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 comedy drama, Shameless, portrayed by Aaron McCusker. The character appeared in 108 episodes overall.
Jamie is the oldest son of the notorious Maguire family, the son of Paddy (Sean Gilder) and Mimi Maguire (Tina Malone), and recently returned after serving a 10-year prison sentence for manslaughter. Much to his parents' disgust, he appeared to be reformed, rejected his family, got a job as a barman at "The Jockey", began training as a probation officer, and met his Jockey co-worker Karen Jackson (Rebecca Atkinson), who at first found him perverted and disgusted that he would simply just walk in and get a job just because her manager was afraid of him; they eventually tolerated each other and Jamie proposed to her.
In the last episode of series 4, Jamie revealed that he had admitted his guilt in order to get parole so that he could hunt down his father's three former cellmates, who were planning to muscle in on Paddy's territory and dispose of him. His new reformed life was a sham to cover his murders of these three men. Karen assumed that his courtship of her was part of this pretence, but Jamie claimed that he really loved her and they were married at the end of the episode.
During series 5, Jamie does his best to avoid joining the family business. He and Karen take over The Jockey, and things go smoothly until Karen miscarries early in series 6. She distances herself from him, questioning if she would want to have a child that would grow up in the Maguire family. Eventually, the two separate after Karen refuses put a "Maguire" on the pub's license with her and fires him, but not wanting to feel screwed over again demands a buyout. It is during this time that Karen begins sleeping with Joe Pritchard (Ben Batt) to pay off Jamie, able to break it off with her increasingly controlling lover only after she threatens to lie to the Maguires and tell them he continued to physically abuse Mandy Maguire (Samantha Siddall), Jamie's sister. Karen eventually rehires Jamie and she soon finds out she's pregnant again, not sure if the father was Jamie or Joe.
