US Weekly points out Johnny Galecki, who played Darlene’s boyfriend David is not seated at the table. Galecki currently stars on “The Big Bang Theory” and in August, ABC network president Channing Dungey told reporters that the talks with Galecki to return were “ongoing.”
In May, Dungey confirmed that the show was going to make a comeback during Upfronts week.
“We’re rebooting ‘Roseanne,’” Dungey said at the time. “It is planned for the mid-season. We’re still at the early stages.”
The original series aired from 1988 to 1997 for nine seasons. It has previously been described as one of the most realistic portrayals of a blue collar family on television.
