If the show is to continue which actress could be brought in to replace Roseanne in the star role?


Given the circumstances, I think Oprah Winfrey would be the ideal choice as Roseanne's replacement.

Or failing that maybe Hilary Clinton could be given a crash course in acting (lol) and be brought in to play the part of Roseanne in the next season?

"Just let it die": Roseanne shouldn't be revived with a "frankenshow"

ABC made a "clean break" when it canceled Roseanne on Tuesday, says Michael Schneider. But talk of bringing it back without Roseanne Barr is "muddying the waters." "There are so many reasons why this is a bad idea: Continuing the show, albeit without her, still means she’s on the payroll as an executive producer," says Schneider. "Getting rid of the Conners and making it a new show — same cast, slightly different characters — would at least solve the problem of compensating Barr. But it would still face Roseanne comparisons, not to mention the stench of its demise — and it wouldn’t be the characters that audiences raced to see this spring, making it the No. 1 show of the season. For everyone associated with Roseanne, it’s already the only thing they’ll be asked about for the next six months. Why extend that indefinitely with a frankenshow, and one that there’s no guarantee audiences will even want to see?"
