Shane Maguire is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 comedy drama, Shameless, portrayed by Nicky Evans. Shane appeared in 114 episodes.
Shane is part of the Chatsworth estate Maguire crime family, the brother of Micky (Ciarán Griffiths), Donny (Clyve Bonelle), Joey (Will Willoughby), and Jamie (Aaron McCusker) as well as the late Fergal and Mandy (Samantha Siddall), and son of Paddy (Sean Gilder) and Mimi Maguire (Tina Malone). Shane has a half-sister named Cilla, daughter of Mimi and Billy Tutton (Michael Taylor), who was born at the end of series 7.
Shane is known for his short and unpredictable temper and limited intelligence, although he was once shown to possess great instincts for shopper's habits during series 5 when he briefly worked in Yvonne Karib's (Kelli Hollis) off-licence shop. Judging by certain scenes from series 3-4, the other Maguire boys, except for Jamie, seemed to be taking direction from Shane, in the absence of Paddy and Mimi, which might imply that Shane is the second oldest of the Maguire children. In series 6 Shane suffers a head injury whilst running a hotel scam with his lover, Kelly Ball (Sally Carman). After coming out of a coma, Shane is left partially paralysed and bed-ridden. Conflict arises between Kelly and Shane's overpowering mother, Mimi, over who will oversee his convalescence. However, with physiotherapy and speech therapy, his condition begins to improve.
