Roseanne Barr's revival of her comedy earlier this year was swiftly cancelled by ABC after the 65-year-old comedian likened former Obama administration official Valerie Jarratt to Planet of the Apes which the network described as being "abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values".
Shortly after cancelling the show - which was based around a portrayal of a working-class American family - ABC announced spin-off show, The Conners, comprising the same characters but without Roseanne.
Now, Goodman, 66 - who plays Dan Conner - has admitted he misses his former co-star.

Gilbert, 43, added: "Any sadness that we feel over what we’ve lost we’re hopefully channelling in an honest way into the show.
"And our show has always been able to deal with heavy topics, particularly for a sitcom. It’s been kind of built into the mix.
Goodman added: "We’re leaning on each other when we do this show. And supporting each other - that’s a very strong feeling among us.
"There was a debt owed to this fictional family. We want to finish telling this story."
