Roseanne Conner

Roseanne Harris Conner is the title character of the TV series Roseanne, created and portrayed by comedian and namesake Roseanne Barr. Roseanne is bossy, loud, caustic, overweight, and dominant. She constantly tries to control the lives of her sister, husband, children, co-workers, and friends. Despite her domineering nature, however, Roseanne is a loving wife and mother and loyal friend who works hard and makes as much time for her family as possible. Roseanne Conner reappeared in the first season of the 2018 revived series, but was written out of the series after Barr was fired in 2018. In the spinoff series The Conners, the character is portrayed as having died of an opioid overdose.
