Roseanne is back for season 10 after a 21-year-hiatus, and fans are curious what has become of the sharp-tongued matriarch of the Conner family and her tight-knit brood. In the season 9 season/series finale, viewers learned that much of what we knew about the Conners after nine years wasn't true: the family winning the lottery was pure fiction, written by Roseanne (Roseanne Barr) following the death of her husband, Dan (John Goodman). Jackie Harris (Laurie Metcalf), Roseanne's sister, was gay, high-school sweethearts Darlene (Sara Gilbert) and David (Johnny Galecki) who married and had a daughter together were never a couple. David was actually with Becky (Lecy Goranson), the oldest Conner daughter, and Becky's dim-witted husband, Mark (played by Glenn Quinn who died in 2002), was involved with Darlene.
These revelations erased the ridiculous hijinks of the new-moneyed Conners that plagued the series' final season but also unraveled core relationships. So, with the show returning, some of these wrongs are corrected while others aren't addressed at all, leaving it up to fans to accept the Conners as they are in the present. The end result is disappointing on many levels.
