But Roseanne fans were pleased to see, decades later, that Dan came back to life. Played again by John Goodman, the ‘Roseanne’ revival explained that Dan didn’t really die; he was just sleeping. But when the revival was canceled, the ABC a spin-off ‘The Conners’ took its place, and Roseanne was the one who died this time.
