How have I never known this?? So Audrey and Rusty are dating in the The Connors? I'll never look at Christmas Vacation the same way again. Anyway, I had no idea the show was going to return/premiere so soon, I assumed they were going for a March premiere like last season. Roseanne was never my favorite, so I'll tune in. I have my doubts about the show going forward without the character, but at the least, these 10 episodes should give closure to the cast and crew if the season bombs. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/71734-media-the-lanford-lean-times/page/2/#findComment-4748954
Mom x 3 October 15, 2018 Share October 15, 2018 New article about the show. “I wanted to show [opioid struggle] in the show,” Barr said. “But I was never going to have Roseanne die of an opioid overdose. It’s so cynical and horrible. She should have died as a hero or not at all. … It wasn’t enough to [fire me], they had to so cruelly insult the people who loved that family and that show.” Bahahahahaha! Died as a hero? Bullshit. Roseanne Conner rarely admitted she was ever wrong about anything, and being able to handle opioids would be no different. What the hell heroics could she have died from anyway? 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/71734-media-the-lanford-lean-times/page/2/#findComment-4752239

Yeah that kind of storyline would really fit the Roseanne show. Not. I guess though they could claim she died after a valiant fight with cancer or something like that. But we all know that;s not what Roseanne Barr means. I do think giving her a dignified death would be better than making the death some kind of stupid mistake. Whatever they do I hope they don't go down the Two and Half Men road. However it was that Barr finally left the show a lot of us were invested in Roseanne Conner and the family. Let her die without a lot of baggage attached to the why of the death at least.

I personally think Roseanne has become a racist for a variety of reasons while still holding many contradictory ideas in her mind, and I think it's sad.

Bastet October 25, 2018 Share October 25, 2018 From that Deadline Hollywood article re. casting Rene Rosado: Quote Rene Rosado (Major Crimes) has booked a recurring role on ABC’s Roseanne spinoff The Conners. ... Rosado will play Emilio, kind, sweet and cute, he’s a busser at Casita Bonita restaurant. Though he may have some trouble communicating in English, when he speaks his first language, Spanish, he is straightforward, earnest and determined. Well, this will be interesting - I absolutely hated Rosado's character on Major Crimes by the time it ended, so I wonder if when I watch him on this show I'll see Gus and reflexively start yelling at my TV, or be a rational person. Also, that character description sounds awful, but this is a show on which I'm very willing to see how it actually plays. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/71734-media-the-lanford-lean-times/page/2/#findComment-4781901

paulvdb December 14, 2018 Share December 14, 2018 ‘The Conners’: ABC Eyes Expanded Season 2; Cast Negotiations Underway Quote Continuing the story of the Conner family without its matriarch was a risky proposition, and, thankfully for ABC, it worked. Spinoff series The Conners has done well and, not surprisingly, ABC would like a second installment. I hear negotiations are underway with the core cast for a 13-episode Season 2. That would be up from the 11 episode in its current first season and the 9 for the lone season of the Roseanne revival. The cast of The Conners is led by Roseanne alums including Sara Gilbert, who also serves as an executive producer, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, and Lecy Goranson. As has been the case with the Roseanne revival and The Conners’ first season, there are issues with Metcalf and Goodman’s busy schedules that need to be worked out but I hear everyone is willing to return and talks are going smoothly. Goodman, Metcalf and Gilbert reportedly were payed $375,000 an episode for Season 1 of The Conners, up significantly from about $250,000 an episode each got for the new Roseanne. I hear the trio is expected to get another salary bump for Season 2 of The Conners.
