I see them ignoring the last few seasons for the reunion

I'm assuming they're just gonna ignore the last few seasons and just continue it as if they never happened. Cause the final episode of the show made it where the entire series was all just a book Roseanne was writing, cause in reality Jackie was a lesbian, Darlene was with Mark, Becky was with David and Dan died from a heart attack. I just don't see them continuing the show off of any of that.

In her book Roseanne changed things in her life around the way she thought they should be, Jackie being straight and liking guys, Darlene being with David, Becky with Mark and Dan still living.

So i think they're gonna erase all the seasons from the moment they won the lottery and on. So i see them continuing off of Dan recovering from the heart attack and ignoring Jackie informing them they won the lottery and keeping them poor.

Obviously Dan isn't going to stay dead. John Goodman's in the upcoming photos for the premier, so I'm assuming Roseanne probably rewrote the ending of her book.

Novelists make sequels to some of their best sellers.. There are instances where they kill off one character, only to have them come back in the next book. That's probably where the writers are headed for the revival.

They can still keep the rest of the above but have her continue the story with a few edits.

So you think they continue the show off of Roseanne's "Book"? Like we go back into pretend land where its all fiction and nothing we saw was really what happened? Nah i'd rather they just forget about the entire idea and act as if it never happened. Just pick up as a blue collar family still struggling to make it and pretend those last few horrible seasons never happened.

From some of the 'previews' I saw they make it seem like Darlene now lives in the Connor house with her child, Harris, so I don't know if Dan and Roseanne still live there also or maybe they moved into that retirement community where Bev is living and left the house to their kids.

What I find really strange, though, is how all of them are still living in Landford, that small town, unless some of them left and then later returned. Someone on YouTube said Roseanne and Dan's youngest son, Jerry, was in Alaska working on a fishing boat, and I don't know what they will say became of Andy, Jackie's son.

Yes, I also think they will ignore the final episode.

Weirdest tv show ending of all time.
