In 2018, while Shameless was still airing, Kenney was cast on another high-profile TV show, the Roseanne revival, which became The Conners. Kenney plays Harris Conner-Healy, the daughter of Sarah Gilbert’s character, Darlene. “It’s such an uncanny resemblance,” Kenney said on Good Morning America of her TV mom. “I remember once at one of the live tapings, both of our mothers were there, and they were looking at Sarah and I standing next to each other and they were just like, ‘This is weird.’” Kenney also said that she enjoyed getting to take the show’s kid stars under her wing, since she was so young when she started Shameless and is now one of the adults on set. In a 2021 interview on the podcast Call Her Daddy, Kenney opened up about working with Shameless co-star Emmy Rossum, who played older sister Fiona. She said that she and Rossum, who is 13 years older, had a sisterly relationship “in good and bad ways.” Kenney also said she felt like she had to compete with her co-star.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb “I felt that dynamic for sure,” she said, “and I never understood it because I was nine and she was over 10 years older than me. So I was like, ‘Why is there a weird competition here when I’m not trying to compete?’ I don’t know if it was other people on set trying to create that or if it was her creating it, but I know I wasn’t creating it.” Kenney said that she still had “a lot of love for Emmy,” but felt a sense of relief when Rossum left the show after Season 9. “It was weird at first, for sure, but the set became a little more of a positive place, I’m not going to lie,” the younger actor explained. “I remember pre-her leaving, I’d go to set some days and I’d be very anxious about having a scene with her because if she had a bad day, she made it a bad day for everybody.” READ THIS NEXT: See Jake From Two and a Half Men Now at 28.
