The Roseanne saga continues. First was the announcement that the popular 1990s sitcom was to be rebooted, then came praise from President Trump himself, then came an allegedly racist tweet and disgrace for writer and star Roseanne Barr and ultimately the show was cancelled.

But it ain't over till the fat lady sings... or in this case until the fat lady gets killed off.

The sitcom is back - again - but this time withought it's titular star. According to ABC News it's working title is The Connors and it will focus on the remaining members of the family, most notably John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf and Sara Gilbert. Speculation over how the character of Roseanne will be written out of the show is rife on the internet, with some suggestions that she will be killed off.
