Alright Connerheads listen up! The final season of The Conners is officially here and get ready for some twists turns and maybe just maybe a little bit of hope for our favorite Lanford family. It's the last hurrah folks and they are bringing in some heavy hitters to make it count. Think legal battles family drama and a whole lot of familiar faces.
Sue Sylvester to the Rescue? Jane Lynch Joins The Conners as a "Seedy" Lawyer for Jackie!
Yes you read that right Jane Lynch herself is heading to Lanford! The Emmy-winning legend known for Glee and so much more is joining The Conners for a recurring role in this final season. And she is not playing just anyone she is playing the Conner family's lawyer!
Specifically Jackie . Turns out Jackie stumbles upon a chance to actually sue the pharmaceutical company that might be connected to Roseanne's addiction. Talk about a storyline right? This sparks a major debate within the family because well it is the Conners and nothing is ever simple.
Lynch will appear in a couple of episodes as Jean described as a "seedy lawyer in a cheap suit". Apparently Jean might have a slight drinking problem but hey who are we to judge? The family hires her hoping to get some justice for Roseanne but knowing the Conners things are probably going to get complicated really fast. Get ready for some classic Lynch comedic gold mixed with Conner family chaos.
Guest Stars Galore: Zoe Perry Seth Green and More are Coming to Lanford for the Final Season
Jane Lynch is not the only familiar face popping up in The Conners final season. They are bringing in some other great guest stars too.
- Zoe Perry: Fans of Young Sheldon will recognize her and here's a fun fact she is actually Laurie Metcalf's real-life daughter! Zoe will play a cop who gives Jackie a hard time about wanting to rejoin the police force at her age. Awkward family reunion alert!
- Seth Green: Buffyverse alum Seth Green is set for a three-episode arc. He will play Chad Darlene's new friend. Apparently Chad is also going through a separation and he and Darlene bond over their similar cynical senses of humor. Sounds like Darlene might have found her snark match.
Executive producer Dave Caplan says Chad and Darlene are actually more alike than Darlene and her past partners like David or Ben. Fellow EP Bruce Helford adds that instead of being opposites they are "very very similar". Could this new friendship spark something more? We will have to wait and see!
Will the Conners Actually Get a "Bright Ending"? A Lawsuit and a Potential Windfall?
So with this lawsuit storyline some fans are wondering could The Conners actually end on a somewhat happy note? Could they finally catch a break and maybe even get a little bit of money for once?
Remember the original Roseanne ended with the family winning the lottery? Some fans might want a full circle moment like that. But hold your horses. The creators have said not to expect the Conners to suddenly become rich. Realism is kind of The Conners' thing. They usually show the struggles of working-class families and life is not usually a lottery win.
However even a smaller settlement from a pharma lawsuit could be a significant boost for the family. One article points out that even a modest settlement could be "life-changing" for the Conners. It might not make them millionaires but it could ease some of their financial burdens and maybe give them a little breathing room for once. It would be a "bright ending" but still grounded in the reality of their lives. Maybe just maybe some good luck is finally heading their way after all these years of hardship.
Nostalgia and Heartbreak: Saying Goodbye to TV History with The Conners Final Season
The Conners and Roseanne before it have been a part of TV history for over three decades. That is a long time to spend with a fictional family. The cast is feeling the weight of this final season. Lecy Goranson who plays Becky mentioned how appreciative they are of fans' support over the years saying "we wouldn't be here without you".
Laurie Metcalf (Jackie) is already thinking about taking a piece of the show with her saying she might take Jackie's jacket that she has worn for 30 years. John Goodman who plays Dan simply said "I really wish we could have done more but I am very grateful for what we have gotten to do". It sounds like it is going to be emotional goodbye for everyone involved both on and off screen.
