Hey there, TV fans! Let me tell you something exciting about the upcoming Roseanne reboot. Sara Gilbert, one of the stars of the show, recently shared that every cast member had a say in their character's storylines for this revival. Isn’t that awesome? It’s like giving the actors a chance to voice their thoughts on how their characters have evolved over the years.
During an appearance on The Talk on July 20, Sara, who’s now 42, explained, “We’ve been working on putting together the Roseanne reboot, and we went to all the actors and asked, ‘Where do you think your character is?’ It’s not like an actor’s opinion will override the writers, but it’s definitely valuable input. After all, no one knows their characters better than the people who’ve played them for so long.”
Understanding the Cast's Role in the Reboot
Now, here’s the thing—none of the actors came with any diva-like demands, like "My character has to be this or that." As Sara pointed out, the writers will still have the final say, but it’s refreshing to see the cast’s involvement. It shows they care deeply about staying true to their characters while embracing the new direction the reboot will take.

A Trip Down Memory Lane
For those of you who might not know, Roseanne originally wrapped up in 1997. The Conner family is making a triumphant return to our screens with an eight-episode reboot set to premiere on ABC in 2018. With a 20-year gap between the original series and the reboot, you can bet there’s been a lot of thought put into how the new plot will unfold.
In the original series finale, Roseanne Conner, played by the legendary Roseanne Barr, revealed that her beloved husband Dan Conner, portrayed by John Goodman, tragically passed away from a heart attack. But here’s a twist for you—the entire series was actually a fictionalized version of Roseanne’s life, written by her. Crazy, right? This included some wild plot points, like the Conners winning $108 million in the Illinois lottery. But don’t worry, the reboot is set to take a completely different path!
What to Expect in the Reboot

One of the biggest surprises is that Dan Conner is alive and well in the reboot. That's a game-changer, isn't it? Moreover, Darlene Conner, portrayed by Sara Gilbert, is still married to David Healy (Johnny Galecki) and they’re now parents to two kids. Other mainstays like D.J. Conner (Michael Fishman), Becky Conner (Lecy Goranson), and Jackie Harris (Laurie Metcalf) are also returning. And here’s a fun twist—Sarah Chalke, who played Becky in Seasons 6-9, will appear in the reboot, but in a different role. The specifics are being kept under wraps for now, adding an element of mystery to the mix.
