The Conners, ABC’s most-watched comedy series, is all set to return for a season 2 next month. The notable Roseanne-scion emerged as a series of its own last Summer after the franchise dismissed its original lead Roseanne Barr for flinging racial slurs at the Former Whitehouse Advisor, Valerie Jarrett. Its run was eyed with suspicion as people did not expect the show to run for very long without its matriarchal mascot. There were even rounds that the production team was later ‘begging’ Barr to return to the show. However, The Conners stood strong amid all the controversies. And after a brilliant freshman run, it scored not only renewal but also an Emmy nomination. The show is currently filming its second season, which will feature all the lead actors from the first season along with a few returning guest stars. The fate of one actor; however, remains in contention. The Unicorn
Roseanne Barr was not the only actor who did not return to star in the spin-off of her show. The Conners had also added Maya Lynne Robinson to its cast in recasting after the cancellation of the Roseanne revival. The first season of the Roseanne revival had starred Xosha Roquemore as Geena-Williams Conner, DJ’s wife, and Mary’s mother. However, when the Roseanne reboot became The Conners, Maya Lynne Robinson stepped in as the new Geena.
Recently, as The Conners began production for its Season 2, its entire lead cast came on stage to greet the show’s dedicated live-studio audience. This included Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara, and Jayden Rey the kids of The Conner household, who aren’t series regulars. Maya Lynne Robinson was; however, missing during this introductory sequence. And this is logically stirring rumors of her departure from the show. Roseanne Barr
Maya Lynne Robinson will continue her comedy streak on cable. network with Bill Martin and Mike Schiff’s The Unicorn On CBS. The show, which follows the life of Wade (Walton Goggins)- a recent widower struggling to get his life together, features Maya Lynne Robinson as a series regular. Robinson plays Michelle on the show, she is the wife of Wade’s friend Ben, who is impatient about Wade putting himself back on the market. In contrast to The Conners’ Gina, Michelle will parent 4 kids instead of just one. The Unicron Roseanne Barr
While The Conners has just started the shoot, The Unicorn too has just got done with its first week. The Unicorn and The Conners Season 2 will also debut only 2 days apart with latter launching on 24th September, while The Unicorn will premiere on 26th September. The filming schedules are bound to clash, so even if Maya does not officially quit The Conners, we will certainly see a lot less of Gina on the show.
