The Conners said goodbye after 17 seasons across multiple shows, but where did each character end up — and did any Roseanne alums make surprise appearances?
During the series finale, which aired on Wednesday, April 23, Dan (John Goodman) finally had his day in court as he confronted the pharmaceutical company that caused his late wife Roseanne’s (Roseanne Barr) addiction to opioids, which ultimately led to her untimely death.
Dan and the rest of his family remained hopeful they’d receive a big payout as compensation for their loss. But the organization returned with a check for $700 that they marked down as payment for “transportation and miscellaneous.”
“We also wondered how much a Conners’ life is worth and now we know,” Dan said before bursting out into laughter. Jackie (Laurie Metcalf), Darlene (Sara Gilbert) and Becky (Lecy Goranson) and their respective loved ones gathered together at Roseanne’s grave, where they all spoke to her before heading home.
Which ‘Roseanne’ Stars Are and Aren’t Returning to ‘The Conners’ Finale
The final scene was of everyone enjoying a meal before Dan, Jackie and his daughters a.k.a the OG Roseanne stars tearfully said goodnight to each other. Dan was the last one left and, after a beat, he broke the fourth wall. Following an emotional look into the camera, Dan wished the audience a goodnight before leaving the room. The last shot was of the Conners’ living room as archive clips of everyone — but Roseanne — played out on screen.
Roseanne introduced Us to the Conner family when it originally aired from 1988 to 1997. After a brief revival in 2018, the story transformed into The Conners. After becoming a staple in everyone’s home, The Conners wrapped up with a six-episode season, which meant not everyone was able to return.
Keep scrolling to find out where each character ended up in the finale — and who was mentioned from the original Roseanne series:
Dan Conner
After Louise expressed concern about how much Dan has been discussing his epic love with Roseanne, Dan told Louise that their marriage was just as important to him. He was able to step up and honor Roseanne during his deposition but despite his emotional speech, Dan was only awarded $700.
Dan spoke to Roseanne while at her grave, where he jokingly asked her not to strike Louise with lighting. The series ended with Dan saying goodnight to his family — and Us — before leaving the living room.
Jackie Harris-Goldufski
The preparation that Jackie went through to return to the police force paid off and she ended the series as a cop again. She told Roseanne at her grave that she was finally happy thanks to her marriage to Neville (Nat Faxon).
There was also a reference to Roseanne and Jackie’s mother — who didn’t appear in the final season — when Jackie said she had “no idea” where their mother was.
Darlene Conner-Olinsky
Season 7 challenged the longevity of Darlene’s marriage when Ben kept choosing the office over her. But a talk with Becky alerted Ben to the fact that Darlene was finding comfort in another man — Chad (Seth Green). This forced Ben and Darlene to have an overdue conversation about their relationship and, in the end, they promised to prioritize each other.
Becky Conner-Healy
After scoring a successful job, Becky was making more money and even considered replacing her truck. The larger source of income caused Becky and Tyler (Sean Astin) to reconsider how they approached their finances in the past, but ultimately they came out stronger for it.

Harris Conner-Healy
Darlene’s daughter (Emma Kenney) remained the owner of the diner but she did walk away at the end of the scene with a man. After being introduced to Riley (Stony Blyden) earlier in the season, Harris’ boyfriend was by her side throughout the finale.
Mark Conner-Healy
Darlene’s son (Ames McNamara) remained committed to his hacking passion, which turned into a job opportunity in New York. Despite Darlene’s wish that Mark go to college, he chose the cyber security training program that would then become a full time position. He also reminded his mother that he was now an adult and she should treat him as such. Luckily, Mark only drove a block away from his house on the way to the airport before he was calling his mother again.
