With the recent return of Crystal, a beloved character from Roseanne, fans are left wondering: will Roseanne Barr’s Roseanne Conner also make a comeback on The Conners? Here’s what you need to know about her potential return and the fate of her character.
Is Roseanne Returning to The Conners?
Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that Roseanne will return to The Conners. This is primarily due to the events surrounding both the actress and her character’s storyline.
Following the original series’ conclusion in 1997, Roseanne was revived in 2018 for a Season 10. However, the revival was abruptly canceled after Barr’s controversial racist tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. Disney swiftly canceled the show, but due to its popularity, The Conners was launched as a spinoff without Barr and her character.
Given the circumstances of Roseanne Conner’s exit from the show, her return appears improbable.
What Happened to Roseanne on The Conners?
In the very first episode of The Conners, it is revealed that Roseanne Conner has died. Initially, it was thought that she passed away from a heart attack, but it was later disclosed that her death was due to an opioid overdose. This tragic turn of events set the stage for the family’s struggle as they coped with her loss.
Since Roseanne’s character was killed off, the chances of her returning in any capacity are slim. While Barr has mostly stayed out of the public eye and has expressed regret for her past actions, the likelihood of Disney allowing a flashback cameo remains very low.
As The Conners continues, the focus remains on the surviving members of the Conner family as they navigate life without Roseanne, honoring her memory while moving forward.
