John Goodman Speaks On Roseanne’s Fate

After the news that Roseanne Barr was fired from the ABC hit, Roseanne, fans of the show were left wondering what the fate of the titular character was going to be. Fans may have gotten their answer as John Goodman recently spoke on the Barr’s firing and the status of her character. Goodman stated,

“I know for a fact that she’s not a racist,” he said, implying that he was not supportive of ABC’s swift decision to cancel Roseanne. “I’ll put it this way, I was surprised at the response. And that’s probably all I should say about it.”

When speaking about the status of her character, Goodman added,

“It’s an unknown,” he continued. Of his own character, he added, “I guess he’ll be mopey and sad because his wife’s dead.”

The Conners is set to premiere Tuesday, Oct. 16, on ABC.
