As The Conners prepares to wrap up its final season, Emma Kenney, who plays Harris Conner, has hinted that the series finale will pay a touching tribute to the missing Roseanne cast. The fans have always wondered how the series would address the vanishing of main characters from the earlier seasons, and it appears that the finale will include subtle but meaningful nods to them.
The final season of The Conners was significantly missing some of its former Roseanne regulars, but Kenney added that the show’s writers found a way to make a mention of the missing cast members without going over the top in declaring their absence. According to Kenney, it will be both heartfelt and respectful, highlighting the contributions of past characters to the show’s legacy.

Kenney also revealed that the final season is not only hilarious but also emotional and wraps up the hit show on a deserved note. As the characters’ storylines are wrapped up, Kenney feels confident that the finale will offer closure for fans. She praised the writers for doing justice to her character, Harris, and all the other characters, ensuring that each one’s journey was resolved in a meaningful way.
The finale episode has the potential to be a big moment for The Conners, resolving the long-standing storylines and providing a tearful farewell to characters fans have come to love over the years.
