Get ready to meet another family member of Bobbie’s in Happy’s Place. Shameless vet Emma Kenney lands a role in the new comedy series.
We’ve met Bobbie and her half-sister Isabella. The two ended up inheriting their dad’s bar after his death, and now they’re trying to figure out what to do. Well, there are more family members who will turn up as the season progresses.
The show is on a break right now, but in 2025, we’ll get to meet Bobbie’s daughter. She’ll be played by Shameless’s Emma Kenney.
What we know about Emma Kenney’s Happy’s Place character
Kenney will take on the role of Gracie, Bobbie’s daughter. It turns out that Gracie is in the military and has been deployed overseas. She’s currently on leave, and decides to visit her mom.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in terms of personality. Gracie has inherited the “tough as nails” attitude to life, according to TVLine.
Kenney’s first appearance will be in the Friday, Jan. 10 episode. This is the second episode of 2025, but it’s not clear if Gracie will be around for just one episode or a little more. After all, there’s only so long she’ll be on leave for.
In the episode, Bobbie worries about how Gracie and Isabella will get along. We know that Isabella and Bobbie didn’t grow up together, and they have vastly different personalities. It is still taking time for Bobbie to get used to Isabella at times, so how will Gracie react?
The rest of the bar family will welcome Gracie in with open arms. They have gifts for her as she returns to Qatar, which is sure to be heartwarming and hilarious.
Kenney fans will still get to watch her in the farewell season of The Conners. That is set to premiere in March 2025.
Happy’s Place returns with new episodes on Friday, Jan. 3. Catch up on the series on Peacock.
