In a recent interview, actor John Goodman, who played Dan Conner on the hit sitcom “Roseanne,” spoke about his former co-star Roseanne Barr and her absence from the show’s spinoff, “The Conners.”
Goodman expressed that Barr, who portrayed the lead character Roseanne Conner, is “missed” on the spinoff series. He described Barr as his “buddy” and acknowledged the impact her absence has had on the show and its cast.
Barr’s departure from “The Conners” came after her controversial social media posts led to the cancellation of the “Roseanne” revival in 2018. Despite the circumstances, Goodman’s comments suggest a continued fondness and respect for his longtime co-star.
The actor’s remarks shed light on the personal and professional relationships that developed during the original run of “Roseanne,” which was a groundbreaking and beloved television series. Goodman’s willingness to speak positively about Barr, even amidst the controversy, underscores the enduring bonds formed among the show’s cast members.
As “The Conners” continues without its original lead, Goodman’s words serve as a reminder of the complex dynamics and emotional connections that can exist behind the scenes of a successful television production.
