Half And Half Argument

[Blind Gossip] The first episode of this familiar TV show hasn’t even been shot yet, but everyone is already arguing!

The first fight? What to do with a former character… who isn’t even on the show!

Half the writers want her alive but “away.” Half want her dead.

The arguments for alive include the fact that she might return some day in some capacity, not as a regular, but as a guest a year or two from now if the ratings need a boost.

Anger against people in Hollywood runs in cycles. There are always comebacks! You never know. You don’t want a permanent solution to what could be a temporary problem.

The arguments for dead include the fact that emotions are running high right now.

There was so many people who were furious because they thought they were going to lose their jobs that they want to be punitive. Very, very punitive.

Perhaps once everyone is back at work and collecting those paychecks, the anger will subside?

    I’d have her steal painkillers for her knee issues – a lot of them and then sell them to her friends to help pay for dans job issues – but get caught and arrested and then send her to court ordered rehab for painkiller addiction and then to jail for a year. That gets her gone for at least a year or two and they can refer to her as both an embarrassment and someone with alooooot of issues.

  11. Of course this is Roseanne/The Connors

    Never watched the original show or the reboot… I doubt this 3rd version will last more than a season so they need to pull every trick out of the book.

  12. Roseanne. I’d bring her back. I never would have fired her to begin with.

  13. The Conners (Roseanne reboot)

    I think the show needs to evolve in a different direction so I would go with death. Roseanne can always come back as the Ghost of Christmas Past.

    Roseanne Connors

    Make her “away”. Never say never. People really overreacted to this.

  17. it’s too obvious: Roseanne! I hope the show becomes a dud and they cancel after the first episode because it became nothing but a political diatribe against Trump and not in a subtle way! I don’t mind a political statement now and then, but after the first episode, the haters took off the gloves! (IMHO!).

    • Uhhh, no. It had to do with a filthy racist comment she made and should NOT be forgiven for. It was horrible, uncalled for and has no place in a decent society.

  19. The Connors formerly Rosanne.

    Roseanne.

    A compromise would be to put in in a coma! LOL “Gone” but not dead!

  24. Roseanne or The Conners (new name)
    Roseanne Conner
    Let her star in the show. Get rid of Darlene’s daughter and son.

    • They may want her as a guest in a year or two? It won’t last one season without her.

    • Couldn’t agree more. This was a ridiculous over reaction to one stupid tweet, and now they act like she murdered somebody. Complete hypocrisy, and the spinoff will be a disaster.

    • Uber driver gets in an accident and is in a coma. Connors don’t know if she’s ever coming back so her character can still be referenced and a place reserved for her if Roseanne ever does get it together and learn the difference between funny and horrible.

    • You mean horrible like recommending that Barron Trump be ripped from his mother’s arms & put in a cage with pedos? Or telling folks to harass presidential advisors because they’re not welcome anytime, anywhere?
      Some of us see this BLATANT HYPOCRISY!

    • All of those things are horrible. This day and age, we shouldn’t constantly be at war with each other. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Fighting fire with fire will only burn the whole world to the ground.

  26. Roseanne. Roseanne Barr. Who cares? I found the reboot unutterably depressing and the characters sad and lacking in growth. What they did to Laurie Metcalf’s character was criminal.

  27. TV Show: The Conners

    Character: Roseanne

    I’d keep her alive, maybe send her to work in a marijuana dispensary.

  29. Roseanne
    Roseanne Connor. They revived it after canceling calling it The Connors. It would make sense to kill off her character since the season finale ending with her worrying about making it through knee surgery . It would be a good transition

  34. THE CONNERS WILL SUCK.
    THEY COULD USE FRAN DRESCHER FOR DANS LOVE INTEREST.
    “OOOOOOOH, MR CONNER”
    IF I WERE ROSSANNE I’D AVOID THAT COLONIC.

    I would get her back on ASAP. If Samantha Bee can call women the C word on tv and then be *feted* in the same week plus retain her job, then the same should hold true for Roseanne. Because, quite honestly, I find the C word every bit as disgusting and horrid as what Roseanne said, and what’s good for the goose should also be good for the gander.

  37. Roseanne Conner played by Roseanne Barr

    I don’t think they will kill her off.

    If they do kill her off, the character needs to remain dead, none of this revisionist nonsense. However, I would say the character had a complete breakdown due to painkiller addiction, stress, bodily pain, unresolved issues, all of the above. That way when she (most likely) returns, it won’t seem so “Dallas.”

  38. This is an easy one.

    Why not kill off Roseanne and if the tide changes in 2-3 years, make it seem like her death was fake and she never died.

    Isn’t that what they did with the husband Dan?

  40. The Conners (new version of Roseanne)on me
    Roseanne Barr

    Keep her character, but have her played by a different actor every week.

    Keep her alive cause the show is gonna bomb and they’ll need the ratings. People went way overboard with what happened. Do I agree with what she said no but I’m tired of people being so sensitive over every single thing.

  44. Roseanne was on a cruise with Dan…Had to many, at happy hour and fell overboard…Dan will move on after 5 shows…The ratings will tank without the star Roseanne. They will find Roseanne in Cuba with Fidel’s brother and bring her home…But she lost her memory when she fell off the ship…And they will beg her to come back to the show…With a 50 percent raise ……..Everyone says dumb horrible things at times……It’s called life and you forgive and move on…..Team Roseanne Barr……

    I’d point out that there’s a shooting in USA every second day and nothings done about it yet Rosanne makes a massive blunder and she’s banished from life. Everyone knows Rosanne tends to be controversial because she doesn’t think before she speaks. Racism is absolutely not acceptable….but America has bigger problems #letITgo

  47. I would have treated her as they did Peter Fonda- who said something far far worse… Roseanne should never have been fired, but creepy Mooch was not going to allow anyone to slight her evil friend Valerie… no one caught on Roseanne was comparing the movie- no one knew Valerie was anything other than Iranian… and very subversive… but ABC hated Roseanne and needed a reason. This show will tank. What fools. Oh and FYI Roseanne signed over her rights so no one would lose their jobs- ingrates!

    Have her go to prison for drug charges. Make it something to do with opioids to send a message.

    I don’t think she’s prejudice like the KKK. I can’t see her taking part in
    a lynching or gay bashing. IMO she is an offensive, super-rich, entitled blowhard with no filter, and less intelligence.

  49. TV Show: The Conners
    Character: Roseanne

    I would kill off roseanne. Accidental overdose
