"Our Rhoda" being fired from any series was just too traumatic for many to accept.

7. Now playing the role of Roseanne Conner is… Christopher Plummer.

 

YES.

Comparing an ahole like Roseanne to a monster like Kevin Spacey is apples and oranges, in my opinion. 

 

That said, I think it’d be hilarious to get Plummer in a cameo as the doctor breaking the news to Dan and family that Roseanne didn’t make it through her knee surgery due to complications.

A bit more from that podcast. Remorse mixed with self-pitying and rationalizing.

 

I frankly don't think Roseanne is stable enough to ever acknowledge her own learned bigotry. I think she truly believes what she's saying and even feels remorse, but I also think she'd impulsively turn around a few weeks from now and say some other bigoted shít without a thought because the person of color she slammed wasn't someone she knew or was close to. It's the rule most racists develop for black people or people of color - 'the good ones' and then everyone else. That's the compartmentalization in her mind. She transformed into a habitual bigot over a period of years.

 

Do I think real psychiatric help could help her, maybe, but Roseanne's had a lot of shrinks. She also suffered brain damage. And as many have said, mental illness does not equal racism. But racism can come to the fore or be exacerbated through mental illness.

Better yet, get Dann Florek, who played the doctor when young Darlene had appendicitis AND when Harris suffered complications from her birth, to play him.  That way, fans can speculate endlessly whether Roseanne's death isn't just part of some fictional, parallel universe within the show's reality.

Did she?

 

Yeah, you're right.  Florek played the principal when Becky was suspended for (allegedly) flipping the bird in her class picture.

 

Nevertheless, he did make than one appearance on the show, so the fans would still have a field day if he were to appear again as the doctor.  ESPECIALLY if he appeared as Harris' doctor in the final season, which has been dismissed as part of Roseanne's imagination.  ("Maybe she's only IMAGINING how the family would cope with her being gone!")

 

Meanwhile, Pam Ewing awakens from a long night's rest to find none other than Rosey in her shower.

      ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

      By janea4old · Posted

      yes I thought of the Renee party... But this is different because I'm talking specifically about the revealer convincing someone else to throw the party.  And the someone else complies, having no idea what the revealer plans. I'm wondering if Michele Val Jean did a first with BTG in 2025. But the BTG thread is already so busy -- that I thought it important to *NOT* clog it up with discussing this, so I brought the question here instead. That way, if other reveals come up in conversation, it's not a problem on this "general retro soap" thread.

      She is diabolical! Remember in this scene she offered Martin a brownie which seemed so random? In this episode its revealed that when he was a kid, Ted used to bring him to a restaurant where the waitress would give him brownies....that waitress was Leslie. She was playing games and trying to jog his childhood memory

      Bish what? I was not expecting that, I was for sure expecting him to go after Nicole (He still can). Looks like Leslie put her out! I love these new developments, Eva Dorian Lording her way into Fairmont Crest. My good sis better trap that doctor.

      It should be in its synopsis on the DVR description of the show.

      Well, in a way DAYS "Renee Dumonde DiMera Threw a Party & Invited Everyone & Then Told the Whole Town Off" if you see what I mean. She definitely pretended that she was throwing this shindig for a pleasant reason while she KNEW her real intent wasn't pleasant AT ALL. And, everyone in Salem was targeted by her in this way.  I mean it was supposedly a celebration of her engagement. But, that is not what happened! I think it checks off all your boxes. And, before today I would definitely have called it "singular". There was nothing like it. Now, there's something not only similar but possibly .... more far-reaching? I was just struck by a thought. When MVJ was tasked to write a catfight, she wrote the best catfight that has ever existed. I'm not sure but what if she's done it again?!!

      What's with this show constantly encouraging women to take back men who aren't worth a damn, then end up doing it lol. This was realistically a 4-episode week considering all the flashbacks to the showstopper can collectively form a 19-minute episode on its own.

      Naomi was in Monday's episode, though the client wasn't. Naomi and Jacob were at Uptown with Chelsea, Allison, Derek, and Ashley. And what an amazing episode that was today. Tricia Mann-Grant was absolute perfection as was Ambyr Michelle. I cannot wait to see Dana mix it up with the Duprees, especially Anita.
