I don't think this will go well
What's the show called?
__________?
Roseannot
Roseaint
Noseanne
How are they going to explain this in the show? Sudden disappearances are often really forced and silly. I just imagine them creating a subplot where she's racist and the family all abandons her to prove how not racist the creators are.
she returned to her home planet
Well, she keeps accidentally calling The Moon The Coon, so I dread to think where she originated from.
Klu Klux Prime
Honestly I could see them just saying Dan divorced her.
In the ultimate twist of irony, she volunteered for mission work in Wakanda.
Oh how will Roseanne react to this? Also, how would they explain her disappearance aside from divorcing?
I've never seen the show but John Goodman looks in pretty good shape in the first photo.
Just do what they did when Goodman left the show when it was first on: kill them off.
Imagine if it was like Garfield but without Garfield .
Give john goodman and the daughter and we're all good
Literally the only way this doesn't turn out totally laughable is if they decide to shift focus on the kids and their families, then have Jon Goodman show up every episode or so and mention how Roseanne is at work.
They can't kill her off, because then they'd have to make us feel sad that she's gone, and the studio clearly doesn't want that. And it'd be an ultimate hack move to just say they got divorced off-screen when the whole point of the show was "they're lower class and dysfunctional but still love one another"; like yeah, they waited until they were well into their golden years before they decided to call it quits and get back into the dating scene.
Not to defend what she said, but this whole situation stinks of "we made a snap decision to save face, but then realized we put a ton of contracted workers out to pasture over a tweet". Like, not that they should have kept her on-board, but it also feels like the kind of situation a company like Disney totally could have spun/buried if they wanted to.
