Roseann Barr Isn’t Happy About ‘The Connors’ Plot

As CNBC reported at the time, Barr released a statement to press, which told fans, "We regret that ABC chose to cancel ‘Roseanne’ by killing off the Roseanne Conner character. That it was done through an opioid overdose lent an unnecessary grim and morbid dimension to an otherwise happy family show."
