Steven McBride is the boyfriend (and later husband) of Fiona Gallagher. He appears in the very first episode, before leaving in Series 2. Steve is often presented as the moral hero of the show. Although a car thief, he proudly claims to have not committed a single violent crime in his life. He is often vocal about Frank's mistreatment of his kids, even going so far as to send him to Toronto, drunk and drugged up after witnessing Frank headbutt his son Ian.
