What's Behind the Darlene Rumors?
Alright, here's the deal—Darlene is very much alive and kicking in the 'Roseanne' universe. Neither Darlene nor Sara Gilbert passed away, so let's put that rumor to rest. The confusion likely stems from the reboot's new direction, which differs significantly from the original series. It seems some folks got mixed up with the storyline twists, leading to this misconception about Darlene's fate.

The Original Series' Shocking Twist
Let's rewind for a moment. When 'Roseanne' wrapped up its nine-season run back in 1997, we were left with a jaw-dropping revelation. Our beloved protagonist, Roseanne Conner (played by Roseanne Barr), disclosed that her husband, Dan Conner (played by John Goodman), had tragically passed away from a heart attack. But here's the kicker—the entire show was revealed to be a fictional story written by Roseanne herself. This twist included the Conner family winning a staggering $108 million in the Illinois lottery, which was, of course, not real.

What's New in the Reboot?
Fast forward to the reboot, and the narrative takes a fresh turn. Thankfully, Dan is back in the picture and alive! We also know that Darlene and her husband, David Healy (played by Johnny Galecki), are still happily married and are now proud parents of two kids. The core characters, including D.J. Conner (Michael Fishman), Becky Conner (Lecy Goranson), and Jackie Harris (Laurie Metcalf), are all set to return. And here's a fun twist—Sarah Chalke, who played Becky in Seasons 6-9, will reappear in a different role, but the details are being kept under wraps for now.

Another possible reason for the gossip about Darlene's fictional demise could be linked to the tragic passing of former 'Roseanne' star Glenn Quinn. Glenn tragically passed away in 2002 at the young age of 32 due to an accidental heroin overdose. His untimely death was a shock to everyone, and we're hopeful that the new 'Roseanne' reboot will find a way to honor his memory and legacy with sensitivity and respect.
