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?

    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.

    I would not kill Roseanne off. The show may not survive without her, like it or not.

    I would have her in a long-term rehab facility to help her wean off painkillers–say the procedure she had done was not successful–she had complicated side effects and ship her off for recovery.

    Roseanne-
    There was an opioid addiction subplot with her on the show. They can put her in rehab.
    “The Hogan Family” survived Valerie Harper’s firing. The show was called “Valerie” for the first few seasons.
    So the solution is obvious…Sandy Duncan as Dan’s sister !!

    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!

    Roseanne, poorly written show to start with, good riddance after one season when this fails.

    TV Show : The Connors

    Character: Roseanne

    I will be very surprised if this shows is a success, really wish they knew when to quit.

    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.

    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.

    They need to stop virtue signaling for 30 seconds and realize that killing off Roseanne would be a disaster.
    The best solution is to make some kind of deal with John Goodman so that he does not appear in every episode. Have he and Roseanne move away.

    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.

    Roseanne – Roseanne Barr . I think they should kill Roseanne off, or have her sent to rehab. The show is set up for either one. They already set it up for either one to happen. Roseanne is addicted to pain killers and she have been hiding it all over the house. So they can send her off to rehab. However it also set up for Roseanne to die during knee surgery. In the series finale Roseanne was going to have knee surgery and we know she took pain killers right before , so she can die .

    Roseanne

    hard to say. I really like the cast but the network would be better off giving Laurie Metcalf her own Jackie sitcom and calling it a day. then they don’t have to necessarily say where Roseanne is and can still include the other characters
