'Roseanne' Cast Table Read
This past week, ABC treated fans to a full cast photo during a table read. The actors and writers were pictured sharing a huge laugh while on set.
In the picture, Barr is seated on the left side of the table across from her onscreen husband John Goodman. Also pictured are newcomers Ames McNamara and Jayden Rey, as well as Sarah Chalke, who took on the role of Becky for a time after Lecy Goranson left the show.
Also present for the table read were director John Pasquin, producers Bruce Helford, Whitney Cummings and Troy Hernandez, and co-executive producer Sig Youngers.

Introducing the Cast to Live Audience

The clip shows Gilbert front and center as Metcalf is introduced, followed by Goodman.
"What. Is. Happening. #Roseanne," Cummings captioned the post.

Roseanne and Dan on the Couch
Cummings also treated her Instagram followers to a look at a scene shared by Roseanne and Goodman. Many Roseanne fans are likely surprised to see Goodman's character is involved in the reboot, given that his character died in the original series.
ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey revealed earlier this summer that Goodman's character, Dan, was going to be involved in the series despite the original series finale. However, he didn't dish on Dan's return was going to be handled.
"I'm not going to talk too specifically about the season," Dungey said. "I wouldn't say that it's ignoring the events of the finale, but I can say that Dan is definitely alive."
Goodman, 64, has also offered a sneak peek of where the Conners will be at the start of the revival.
"It's going to be all new turf. We were in our 40s when we left off," he said. "I myself have applied for Medicare. We're going to have grandkids. It's just like a new life. I don't know what they're going to do, but I'm excited to try it this way."
'Roseanne' Director's Chairs...Someone's Chair Isn't There
This past weekend, Michael Fishman, who plays DJ, shared a picture of the director's chairs on set. Chairs can be seen set up bearing the names John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Ames McNamara and Emma Kenney.
Noticeably absent from the chairs and from the other set photos is Johnny Galecki. The 42-year-old is the only actor not to be confirmed for the reboot.
Most recently, Galecki inked a deal to appear in two more seasons of CBS's Big Bang Theory. Not to mention, he is also serving as executive producer for the upcoming CBS comedy By the Book, which could possibly be in competition with the Roseanne reboot.
The Roseanne reboot is expected to air in 2018.
