Ever since ABC canceled its prime-time "Roseanne" revival in the wake of a racist tweet from the show's leading lady, there's been buzz about bringing it back without the title star.
And now it's official: The network has given the green light to "The Conners."
The new take on the classic sitcom will air in the fall and 10 episodes have already been ordered.
There's no word yet on how the matriarch of the series will be written out, though the press release did state that, "After a sudden turn of events, the Conners are forced to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before."
"The Conners" will air in the same Thursday night time slot "Roseanne" occupied last season

Nice!
I think John and Laurie can carry the show but what's the point? Unless they kill her off altogether it won't make sense.
If they don't just let it go...

And it's not just co-stars, but the camera crews, makeup crew, lighting directors, everyone lost a job because she wanted to get on Twitter and be edgy.
!!!!!! I don't watch this shit but good for them

Excellent.
Her co-stars shouldn't have to suffer for her ignorance.

Isn?t she going to profit from this tho..

oh well, let her profit. She?s rich already anyway :dead: IMO, she?d much much rather have the attention and be on television as opposed to simply collecting a check in silence. She?s an attention whore and this is gonna drive her crazy not being a part of the show
Also, if that?s the one downside to this, then I?m fine with it. The hundreds of people that lost their jobs deserve this opportunity

I love that Roseanne signed away her rights so she won't get paid from it.

Well on the show she was supposed to go get surgery for her knee so maybe they will kill her on the operating table

But yeah, they couldn't afford the surgery she needed so it's not far mfetched that she'd die but I don't know how it will translate with the viewers.
Like, Jackie is hilarious in her own right but she works best when paired with Roseanne.
r they gonna replace her with Rosie O
