1 The Conners Fact Makes The Show Dropping A Roseanne Character Even More Shocking

While it was always going to be a major surprise for The Conners to drop a Roseanne supporting star, this particular actor’s behind-the-scenes role on the show made their exit all the more surprising. The Conners is no stranger to cast reshuffles. The show began life as Roseanne, a popular family sitcom that ran for nine seasons in the ‘90s. In the infamously disastrous final season of Roseanne, Roseanne’s husband Dan was sent to care for his mother before being killed off in the finale so actor John Goodman could pursue his movie career. When Roseanne was revived in 2017, this death was retconned.
