‘The Conners’ EPs on Honoring the ‘Roseanne’ Legacy in the Series Finale and the Unscripted Moments That Were Included
'The Conners' executive producers say they “felt a tremendous responsibility" to get the series finale "right" and to honor the "Roseanne" legacy
And although those kinds of goodbyes can be tricky, especially with a show that has so much history — both on-camera and off — executive producer Dave Caplan tells Variety, “We felt a tremendous responsibility to get this right.” In the finale, Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) returns to the police force, Darlene (Sara Gilbert) works out marriage problems with her husband, Ben (Jay R. Ferguson) and feels the loss of sending off her son, Mark (Ames McNamara), to a job in New York City, and Becky (Lecy Goranson) gets a high-paying job that utilizes her psychology degree and firms up her relationship with her beau, Tyler (Sean Astin). In the series finale, the poignant goodbyes to Roseanne at her graveside were short, sweet and funny, but realistic for the characters, starting with Dan learning that the lawsuit didn’t go quite as he had hoped — they’re awarded the paltry sum of $700.
