The Conners: [Spoiler] Out Ahead of Season 6
When The Conners returns for Season 6, one of Dan Conner’s grandchildren will no longer be living under his roof.
TVLine can exclusively reveal that Jayden Rey — who since 2018’s Roseanne revival has played DJ’s daughter Mary — will not be returning as a series regular.
Her exit comes one season after The Conners parted ways with her TV dad, Michael Fishman, who was written out ahead of Season 5.
When The Conners first launched in 2018, the principal cast also included Maya Lynne Robinson as DJ’s wife (and Mary’s mother) Geena. But after Season 1, Robinson departed for a role on CBS’ The Unicorn, at which point Geena reenlisted in the Army. She returned to Lanford in the Season 3 finale, but did not appear in Seasons 4 or 5.
In Season 5, DJ and Geena reunited overseas, while Mary remained situated in Lanford and split her time between Dan’s house and Geena’s mother’s house. Though she was credited for every episode, Rey appeared in just five of Season 5’s 22 episodes.
Returning for The Conners Season 6 are John Goodman (as Dan Conner), Laurie Metcalf (as Jackie Harris), Sara Gilbert (as Darlene Conner), Lecy Goranson (as Becky Conner-Healy), Emma Kenney (as Harris Conner-Healy), Ames McNamara (as Mark Conner-Healy), Jay R. Ferguson (as Ben Olinsky) and recurring guest star Katey Sagal (as Louise Goldufski). New episodes begin airing Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 8/7c on ABC.
Prior to its Season 6 premiere, reruns of The Conners, beginning with Season 1, will air on The CW in January. For more information on when to watch, click here.
She wasn’t on it long enough to even be missed.
Not much of a surprise. I wish they had did more with her.
Fact check your article. Harris & Mark are Darlene’s kids, not Becky’s.
They are Darlene and David’s kids and David is the brother of Becky’s late husband, so they are both Conner-Healy’s.
Indeed!
Cracks me up when people say fact check your article and don’t know theirs lol
Read her comment again she didn’t Becky’s
You need to read her comment again. She’s saying the article is wrong. The article doesn’t say whether they are Darlene or Becky’s. If she’s commenting based on the last names the article is still correct – Darlene is a Cooner-Healy too, but just goes by Conner.
What a classic Starr blunder.
It would be cool to have a sitcom spinoff about their family
SERIOUSLY KEEP RENEWING THE CONNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON’T EVER CANCEL IT
The Conners show is o.k. But Rosanne Barr should be on that show. Bring her back!! She shouldn’t never been kicked off
that show that was about HER LIFE!
They’re doing just fine without her lunacy.
Roseanne’s return would bring ratings through the roof! She made a mistake. Forgive her, let it go. Bring her back. Can you imagine Dan and Katy Sagal’s confusion and how to proceed? LoL RATINGS!!
A major cast member? Really???
