I have mixed feelings on the idea to continue the show. On one hand, it would be great to see storylines already planned come to fruition (I think they were going to delve more into DJ's family situation, Becky and addressing how Mark had died, maybe even have Jerry and/or Andy on), and for the crew and others to keep their jobs. Killing off Roseanne Conner would give the writers a lot of possibilities and ideas to work with. On the other hand, you have people like John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert and Johnny Galecki who really don't need this show. They were coming from steady gigs on TV and/or the stage. (Heck, John's voiceover gig for all those Dunkin Donuts commercials alone would have him set for life.) Plus, Roseanne's BTS antics not just from this show but from the original series just might put a taint on the brand that may be almost impossible to overcome. Even if the show goes on and she's not there, she never really WON'T be gone, if that makes any sense. Still, the show created buzz for some positive reasons as well. I'm sure that casting people will be on the lookout for the actors who haven't had the careers the others I've mentioned have (Michael Fishman, Lecy Goranson) or are relative newcomers (the kids). I just feel bad that Roseanne put the cast AND crew in such an awkward position.

Was he the same Will Lee who played Mr. Hooper on Sesame Street?

The soap opera writers' discussion
The AW cast must have been a nervous bunch, between Rauch being the showrunner and Lemay being the writer if he didn't like you and/or your character. Yikes.

Good grief. I don't see this one going away any time soon.

@Khan, you and I are almost exactly the same age. I too remember all the drama Roseanne subjected the public to the first time around, especially when she was married to Tom. It was everywhere, and I can only imagine how worse it would have been if social media had been around back then. I suspect that even if the show goes on without her, she'll still be watching and tweeting nonstop. She's a drama queen who needs to stay off social media, period. (P.S. So does Nancy Lee Grahn, whose politics are on the complete opposite side of the spectrum than Roseanne's.)

Wasn't it David Vickers who dubbed the place "Creme Broulee"? Heh.

Didn't MH, MH, Soap and Three's Company all debut around the same time - and many people were up in arms about their content? These shows seem so innocent and almost quaint compared to what's on now.

You're thinking of Margarita Cordova, who after SB played Carmen Torres on Sunset Beach.

I'm sure the child actors will move on to other projects. They've proved their mettle.
