'Roseanne' Revelation: Is Dan Really Dead?
by EG
Before the premiere of the rebooted Roseanne, there were questions about how the new series would address the finale of the old one, in which Roseanne's husband Dan was said to have died. With John Goodman back to reprise the rolse of Dan Conner, how would the contradiction be resolved? Now we know.

Welcome back to Lanford. Roseanne returned to ABC on Tuesday, March 27, with the same charm audiences fell in love with in 1988. However, everyone is in a different place in life (figuratively … not literally).
Roseanne (Roseanne Barr) and Dan (John Goodman) are still living in the same house, but aren’t in great health, taking multiple medications a day. Darlene (Sara Gilbert) moved in after losing her job, along with her two kids Mark (Ames McNamara) and Harris (Emma Kenney). D.J. (Michael Fishman) is also home from Syria with his daughter Mary (Jayden Rey), who he shares with wife Geena — yes, the black woman that he was afraid to kiss during season 9. Geena is still overseas fighting. Roseanne also briefly mentions her son Jerry, who is on a fishing boat.
Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) and Roseanne have been fighting ever since the election since Roseanne voted for Donald Trump – “on the real news,” he talked about jobs. (The funniest part was that Jackie was so freaked out by her fights with Roseanne, she voted for Jill Stein instead of Hillary Clinton – American Horror Story style.)
Becky (Lecy Goranson) is also back and is hoping to become a surrogate for a woman named Andrea (played by Becky No. 2, Sarah Chalke). Darlene told everyone she came home to take care of her parents, when really, she lost her job. As for where David (Johnny Galecki) was, that’s still a mystery. “I’ve got no partner,” she cried to her mom.
