After seven seasons, The Conners said goodbye with an emotional tribute to the family’s late matriarch, Roseanne (Roseanne Barr).
The two-part finale of the ABC sitcom concluded on April 23 with Dan Conner (John Goodman) preparing for his deposition for the lawsuit involving the manufacturer of the drugs that led to Roseanne’s accidental opioid overdose, which was revealed in the premiere episode of The Conners.
He admitted, “The only thing I’m really nervous about is what happens when their lawyer starts to bad mouth Roseanne. I’ve got a long history of punching people in the mouth for that.”
At the deposition, Dan was pressed by the attorneys about Roseanne’s addictive personality, history of overeating and drug use before they suggested that Dan didn’t “want to take responsibility for what happened.”
