Roseanne made its much-heralded return to TV in March 2018, taking its place among other old/new TV shows such as Will & Grace, The X-Files, Twin Peaks, MacGyver, and more. But had Roseanne Barr acted on some comments she made to a reporter a decade ago, her show could have kicked off the current TV revival fad.
In 2009, Barr told Tanner Stransky of Entertainment Weekly what she thought each of the show's major characters would be up to in a decade's time. "DJ would have been killed in Iraq," she said, and the family "would have lost their house." When Stransky asked for info on Jackie, Becky, Darlene, and the rest, Barr said, "Your question is intellectual property that may be developed later, so I don't want to get into that."
While it remains to be seen if any of those predictions come to pass, it has been revealed that some events of the series finale — particularly the revelation that Dan had died — may be abandoned. Dan Conner is apparently alive and well in the world of the show ... or at the very least, he'll be around in some form on the reboot.
