<P> Liam Gallagher ( born 12 March 1999 ) is the second youngest of the Gallagher children and is a minor character until series 5 , when he takes a more central role in the main storylines . He is named after the singer of the same name . He apparently suffered from epileptic fits when he was smaller , although this has never been seen . It was also implied that he used to wet the bed , though he claims that it was only to help put out the fires , which he had a fondness for starting , as seen during his pyromania phase in series 4 - 5 - matchboxes and lighter - fluid were routinely found under his mattress by his brothers Carl ( Elliott Tittensor ) and Ian ( Gerard Kearns ) . Throughout the series , Liam is practically raised by his older sisters , Fiona ( Anne - Marie Duff ) and Debbie ( Rebecca Ryan ) , as his father Frank ( David Threlfall ) is lazy and mother Monica ( Annabelle Apsion ) inept - when she is around . In later episodes , Liam shows considerable intelligence and resourcefulness like sister Debbie and is also an outspoken atheist . In series 5 , signs of genius in Liam became obvious when he was shown to be an adept car thief , much like Steve McBride ( James McAvoy ) , and was seen later to use a defibrillator on a comatose Frank when it was thought that his heart had stopped . In series 6 , it is revealed that Liam is a talented musician , and also fluent in Sign Language . Given his academic performance , the school determines Liam to be an exceptionally gifted pupil , which leads to him being awarded a special scholarship . During an interview at a local university , he initially fails to make a good impression due to nervousness . But that changed when his father Frank attempts to steal the `` Joy of Sex '' manual from the university library ; Liam plucks up the courage to tell the panel of education directors why he deserves the scholarship in an impassioned speech . Liam appeared in 78 episodes in total . </P>
