Katey Sagal could be returning to the series after playing a character who had major sparks with John Goodman’s patriarch
The Conners
ABC
Is Dan Conner ready for love? The iconic TV character played by John Goodman on Roseanne and The Conners may be moving on from his beloved Roseanne Conner (Roseanne Barr).
After the Roseanne revival debuted to huge ratings and quickly imploded following Barr’s racist tweet, ABC canceled the series and brought it back as The Conners. The writers killed off Barr’s character and the comic and executive producer agreed to not have any financial or creative ties to the new series. The Conners debuted to steady ratings and brought in a number of A-list guest stars from Matthew Broderick and Justin Long to Mary Steenburgen and Katey Sagal. Now it looks like one of them might be coming back in a big way.

According to TVLine, producers are hoping to get Sagal on board for a significant portion of the upcoming second season.
Sagal popped up as Louise, a high school pal of Dan and Roseanne’s who recently returned to Lanford. Now back in town, she’s a bartender at Casa Bonita where she reconnected with Dan. However, after Louise made it known she was interested in Dan, he let her down.
