It’s been two decades since the Conner family first graced our television screens, but the beloved sitcom “Roseanne” continues to hold a special place in the hearts of fans. With the recent announcement of a revival series, the anticipation to see what has become of the iconic characters has been palpable.

As we prepare to revisit Lanford, Illinois, let’s take a closer look at where the beloved Roseanne characters find themselves 20 years after the show’s original run.

Roseanne Conner:
After the original series ended, Roseanne Conner has settled into a comfortable life as a retiree. She’s still her sarcastic, no-nonsense self, but has found joy in spending more time with her grandchildren and indulging in her passion for gardening.

Dan Conner:
Dan Conner, the beloved patriarch of the family, has had a few health scares over the years, but remains the rock of the Conner clan. He’s continued to work at his motorcycle shop, passing on his mechanical expertise to the younger generation.

Darlene Conner-Healy:
Darlene, the family’s resident cynic, has embraced her creative side, working as a successful graphic designer. However, her marriage to David Healy has had its ups and downs, leading to a separation that has left her re-evaluating her priorities.

Becky Conner-Galecki:
After a tumultuous start to her adult life, Becky has found stability as a local news anchor, using her quick wit and charm to captivate audiences. Her relationship with Mark Healy, though bittersweet, has endured the test of time.

DJ Conner:
The once-shy DJ has blossomed into a confident, socially conscious man. He’s now a teacher, using his platform to inspire and educate the next generation, much to the pride of his parents.

Jackie Harris:


Roseanne’s sister, Jackie, has found purpose in her work as a police officer, using her tough-as-nails attitude to protect her community. She’s also embraced the role of doting aunt, providing a nurturing, if unconventional, presence in the lives of her nieces and nephew.

The revival of “Roseanne” promises to delve deeper into the lives of these beloved characters, allowing fans to reconnect with the Conner family and witness the ways in which they have evolved over the past two decades.
