Before the show becameThe Connersafter her off-screen death, Roseanne Barrs hard-working mother was the original title character ofRoseanne.

AlthoughThe Connersbegan with Roseannes deathfrom an opioid overdose, the spinoff still kept her legacy alive.

Roseanne and Jackies texts saw Roseanne admit that she was worried about Dans financial future with her unemployed.

Becky and Darlene took this well, joining Jackie in convincing their father to take the company to court.
