John Goodman Reveals Roseanne is Dead in Upcoming Spin-off

The recent Roseanne revival was quickly cancelled after the self-titled star tweeted a particularly racist comment about Valerie Jarrett. But if Becky #2 and Dan's miraculous resurrection has taught us anything, a castmember coming and going is no issue for the show.

In an interview with The Times, onscreen husband John Goodman revealed how the upcoming spin-off, The Conners will deal with the matriarch's sudden absence.

"It's an unknown," he said when asked about changes to his character in the spin-off. "I guess he'll be mopey and sad because his wife's dead."

Well, that's one way to appease the fans. The Conners premieres October 16 on ABC.
