Remember when Roseanne and Dan had four children? Or when Jackie was married with a kid of her own?
It’s no secret that The Conners (and before it, the Roseanne revival) played fast and loose with continuity, specifically when it comes to which characters they swept under the rug (along with Dan’s death and the $108 million lottery win). Some absences have been explained on screen — one of which had to be addressed due to a legacy cast member’s death — while others have been clarified only in conversation with producers. What follows is a list of those explanations.
To be clear, the following is not a complete inventory of Roseanne characters who never resurfaced on The Conners. You won’t find out why Nancy (Sandra Bernhard) hasn’t visited The Lunch Box, or what ever happened to former Wellman Plastics foreman Booker Brooks (whose “resemblance” to George Clooney was addressed in The Conners‘ Season 3 premiere).
This also isn’t a list of legacy characters who appeared on The Conners but were later written out (such as Michael Fishman’s DJ Conner, Johnny Galecki’s David Healy or Danielle Harris’ Molly Tilden).
What follows is a rundown of characters who have not appeared — and whose absences have been directly addressed (or, in the case of one former spouse, indirectly addressed) since Roseanne first returned.
