John Goodman hasn't talked to Roseanne Barr in nearly a decade

John Goodman disclosed in a recent interview that he has not spoken to his former co-star, Roseanne Barr, for nearly a decade. Goodman, known for his role in the sitcom 'Roseanne,' wrapped up 'The Conners,' a spin-off series following the Conner family dealing with the aftermath of Roseanne's character's death. In the series finale, Goodman's character visited Roseanne's grave.

Goodman shared that he and Barr have not communicated for about seven to eight years when asked about their connection over the spin-off's conclusion. Despite the silence between them, Goodman stated that it did not affect their work on 'The Conners,' emphasizing the strength of the cast.

The original 'Roseanne' sitcom, where Goodman and Barr starred, aired for nine seasons starting in 1988. Goodman reminisced about their early days on the show, highlighting the instant chemistry they had and the fun they shared, attracting millions of viewers.

'The Conners' concluded its series in April after seven seasons. The spin-off began in 2018 following the cancellation of the planned 'Roseanne' revival due to a controversial tweet by Barr. In the series finale, original cast members bid farewell to the family patriarch, Dan Conner (Goodman), in an emotional scene.

During the finale, Goodman had a poignant moment breaking the fourth wall, smiling at the camera, saying, "Goodnight," and walking off, symbolizing a farewell to the audience. Goodman expressed his appreciation for being able to include this moment in the show, describing it as a gesture of gratitude to the viewers.
