Will ABC Replace Roseanne With Darlene??

Innerestingly, Roseanne tweeted about a woman named Valerie -- and her show could face the same fate as the TV show Valerie, which was renamed The Hogan Family after its star was fired.

After her racist tweets got her fired, we'd heard ABC couldn't use any of the characters created by Roseanne for a spinoff -- but latest word says the network may be open to the possibility after all.

In this case, fans could continue to follow the Connor family but with a focus on the adult Darlene.

TMZ's sources say Sara Gilbert, who also served as an EP on the revival, has been working with producer Tom Werner to retool the revival, something the network would be happy with since they're already paying the cast for another season.

Sources say Sara has already been calling her costars to see if they want to come back -- and John Goodman is already on board!

In Valerie, the titular character was killed off between seasons. We'd be curious to see what ABC does with Roseanne Connor if the show continues.
