“I came today just to meet with the young ladies that I was mean to and treated disrespectfully about their religion,” he said during a press conference

As The Conners comes to an end, some characters from the Roseanne universe are expected to reprise their roles in the seventh and final season — but which aren’t returning?

Roseanne originally aired on ABC from 1988 to 1997. After being briefly revived in 2018 — and after star Roseanne Barr’s eventual exit from the series amid controversial social media posts — the story transformed into The Conners.

After seven seasons on the air, the sitcom is preparing to wrap up — but not without some exciting cameos first. Emma Kenney hinted how certain characters will be addressed on screen, exclusively telling Us Weekly in March, “The series finale does show tribute the way we could. We’ve had so many amazing guest stars and recurring roles over the years. Everybody has been so fun and brought in something different to the show.”

Kenney’s costar and onscreen aunt Lecy Goranson weighed in on the idea of Barr’s character being brought up in the final episodes. “It’s a really interesting thing. [The idea of] when to bring her up, how it has been through the series is when it seems right,” Goranson shared with Us that same month. There’s touches of it without really landing on it and making it super heavy.”

Reboots and Revivals Missing Beloved TV Stars

Despite not every fan favorite making it back for the six-episode season, Goranson was proud of how The Conners found a way to mention certain missing characters — starting with Roseanne.

“If it felt like this is a Hollywood thing to bring all the guest stars back, that’s exciting for the audience. But it’s not really true to the world of the show,” the actress noted. “We’ve had people have feelings about the show since Roseanne left. But with what we have, it’s been really, really tasteful and well done, so I’m proud of it.”

Roseanne Conner

The Roseanne revival was canceled in 2018 after Barr’s controversial comments about then-President Obama’s former senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett. The spinoff was created without Barr’s involvement and she hasn’t made an appearance since the drama.

“I just can’t bear it, so I don’t [watch],” Barr told The Los Angeles Times in February 2023. “When they killed my character off, that was a message to me, knowing that I’m mentally ill or have mental health issues, that they did want me to commit suicide.”

She continued: “They killed my character … And all of that was to say thank you for bringing 28 million viewers, which they never had before and will never see again. Because they can kiss my a**.”

Dan Conner

Season 7 introduced a story line where Dan (John Goodman) and Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) are at odds about suing Big Pharma for Roseanne’s death.

Jackie Harris-Goldufski

In addition to the fictional legal drama, Metcalf reunited with her daughter — and fellow actress — Zoe Perry on multiple episodes of the show’s final season.

Becky Conner-Healy

“I don’t want a break. I would love a spinoff,” Goranson, who has shared the role of Becky Conner with Sarah Chalke since the OG series, exclusively told Us in March. “I imagine that might be complicated but I would love that. I love my colleagues so much and the crew.”

Goranson offered Us a hint of what is to come, adding, “I think one of the things that I was hoping that did happen [when wrapping up The Conners] was knowing that they were going on with their lives. So it wasn’t like, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s a lightning bolt and there go the Connors.’ I hope that it would give you an imagination of Becky — who’s been through so much — that you knew that there was some hope in her future.”

Harris Conner-Healy

During an interview with Us in March, Kenney said she “trusted the writers” when it came to wrapping up her arc, “I liked the way my character Harris’ story ends and I could definitely envision the rest of her life if it were to be on camera too. … [The writers have] known all of these characters for so long now. I knew they were going to do all of the characters justice.”

Mark Conner-Healy

It hasn’t been confirmed whether Ames McNamara will return after previously leaving five seasons in. According to Kenney, the series finale “does show a tribute the way we could. We’ve had so many amazing guest stars and recurring roles over the years. Everybody has been so fun and brought in something different to the show.”

David Healy

“[David is] very much mentioned, very much alive in the story,” executive producer Bruce Helford told TVLine in March 2025. “We love Johnny [Galecki], he was always welcome, but he has more or less started life anew down in Nashville [following the conclusion of The Big Bang Theory].”

D.J. Conner

Fellow executive producer Dave Caplan told TVLine that “there was so much to do in six” episodes that there won’t be time to revisit characters whose stories were already wrapped up. (Michael Fishman only appeared in four seasons of The Conners before his exit.)

“Honestly, once you see the arcs [you will understand],” Helford added. “What we never want to do is just bring somebody in just to see that person on the show. We want everyone to have something important to play.”

Beverly Harris

Season 6 showed Estelle Parsons‘ Bev make amends with Jackie. As a result, she likely won’t return since the actress is now 97 and living in New York, which wouldn’t make it easy for Parsons since the show filmed in Los Angeles. Helford, however, confirmed there would be an update on Roseanne’s mother before the finale, adding, “There are certainly some comments made about her situation.”

Geena Williams-Conner

Along with Fishman’s exit, Maya Lynne Robinson‘s character was written off as well. Season 5 confirmed that D.J. reunited with his wife, Geena, who was stationed in Germany. The final episodes are set to touch on how their daughter Mary — who was written out after season 5 — joined her parents overseas.

When it comes to Kathy Griffin’s pranks, nobody is safe.

“I’m friends with Sharon Stone and one of the things I do to torture her is adding her to random text chains with people she doesn’t know,” the “Talk Your Head Off with Kathy Griffin” host, 64, told Us. “I have her on four text chains now, and she keeps side-texting me and [says], ‘I’m going to f–king kill you. Stop adding my phone number to people I’m never going to meet.'”

Stone, 67, isn’t the only star Griffin name-dropped in her 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me feature in the latest issue of Us Weekly, on stands now. The comedian also revealed that she and pal Sia have a mutually beneficial pact.

Why Patricia Heaton Hides Her Emmys in a Harry Potter-Style ‘Zoom Room’

“Sia and I have a deal: She calls me if she’s in a funk and I do stand up for her on the phone, and then I call her when I’m in a funk and she’ll sing,” she shared. “Sometimes I’m in the mood for ‘Titanium,’ sometimes I’m in the mood for ‘Reasonable Woman.’

Keep scrolling for more fun anecdotes from Griffin, who recently made her TV comeback on Unconventional, streaming now on Revry.

1. I was nominated six years in a row for a Grammy for Best Comedy Album before I finally won one for Calm Down Girl, so I have a pity Grammy, which is fine with me.

2. I keep my Grammy and Primetime Emmy Awards on a shelf when you walk in the house. I’m so obnoxious. You cannot miss it. In fact, if it was safe, I would hang them all from a rope from the ceiling so you’d be hit in the face when you walked in the door with them.

3. I still have some of the clothes and shoes I wore in Suddenly Susan, including a pair of platform boots that I wore in several of my 21 standup comedy specials.

4. I’m in the Guinness Book of World Records for more comedy specials than any comedian, living or dead, male or female.

5. The project I’m most recognized for is Seinfeld. When I walk down the street, [people] call me by my character’s name, Sally Weaver, or say my line, ‘Jerry Seinfeld is the devil.’

6. I was a teacher at the Groundlings and some of my students were Will Ferrell, Cheri Oteri, Chris Kattan and JJ Abrams. I also got to work with the late great Phil Hartman. It was a really fun day job, teaching improv classes.

7. As a teenager in Illinois, I worked at Ferrell’s Ice Cream Parlor and would ride my bike through a cemetery for a shortcut.

8. My favorite episodes from My Life on the D-List were when I went to Iraq because I feel like as a comedian, [performing for the troops] is such an important thing to do and it’s an environment that’s obviously unlike any other environment. I also went to Afghanistan off-camera and that was also equally memorable.

9. My most embarrassing set was at the Montreal Comedy Festival. I bombed so bad that at the end, the audience didn’t even clap because they weren’t paying attention. I could hear the sound of my Doc Martens walking off the stage.

10. The stand-up special that I get the most feedback about is Allegedly. I don’t know why, because I haven’t watched my specials in years.

11. Sia and I have a deal: She calls me if she’s in a funk and I do stand up for her on the phone, and then I call her when I’m in a funk and she’ll sing. Sometimes I’m in the mood for “Titanium,” sometimes I’m in the mood for “Reasonable Woman.”

12. The one item left on my bucket list is getting a dramatic role. When I think about the classic comedians that we’ve loved for a long time, like Robin Williams and Lily Tomlin, they usually have a chance to play a dramatic role. I wish somebody would take a chance on me.

13. My most valuable possessions are my four doggies: Maggie, Mary, Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler. I take them to every single show.

14. I cannot resist going to Krispy Kreme when the “Hot Light” is on and eating as many as humanly possible. I have a lot of regret and shame afterwards, but I don’t think about that part as I’m enjoying [the donuts].

15. My first car was a Toyota Corolla that my parents sold me. Typical. It had over a hundred thousand miles on it.

16. I’m friends with Sharon Stone and one of the things I do to torture her is adding her to random text chains with people she doesn’t know. I have her on four text chains now, and she keeps side-texting me and [says], ‘I’m going to f–king kill you. Stop adding my phone number to people I’m never going to meet.’

17. My most starstruck moment was when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took me out to dinner after I wrote a joke for him when he was presenting at the Democratic National Convention in 2015. I’ve never been out with a celebrity who had more people approach the table. The guys that came up to the table were losing their sh-t to just say hi. The best part is, he wouldn’t sign autographs or take selfies. I thought that was hilarious.

18. If I could only watch one movie for the rest of my life, it would be The Dead Zone.

19. My celebrity crush growing up was President Jimmy Carter. He was the coolest president, and a progressive before the word ‘progressive’ was even a word.

‘SNL’ Alum Rachel Dratch Tells Us the Moment That Inspired Debbie Downer

20. I’m a food truck person, so my go-to fast food order is from the Mexican food trucks in my neighborhood. The food is unparalleled and delicious.

21. Joan Rivers is the comedian I looked up to growing up. We became good friends and I miss her every day. I’d never seen a woman do what she did on television before, and it was so revelatory that it gave me hope that I could possibly become a standup comic — even though I’m a female.

22. I collect books [and] probably have to figure out where I’m going to put all of them.

23. My favorite place to vacation is Mexico, which is also my favorite country outside of the U.S. I have a house that I’ve been renting off and on there for decades, and it’s beautiful and off the grid.

24. My favorite way to spend the weekend is [throwing] what I call ‘salon parties.’ I like to cast it like a play, so I put 12 people together that maybe wouldn’t normally know each other or be able to meet. I have a lot of rules. I’m very strict about no phones allowed at the table and there’s place cards, so you can’t just sit wherever you want. You [also] have to ask my permission to go to the bathroom, which I do not always grant. Things get very real when there’s no phones around. It’s awesome.

25. My secret talent is going to date me, but I can still speak Ubbi Dubbi from the PBS show Zoom. It’s a hidden talent that dazzles people [who] are probably over 50 years old.
