While The Conners season 6 premiere gave Jackie a brutal surprise, the Roseanne spinoff spun this plot into a huge opportunity for one undervalued character. When Jackie took over The Lunchbox in The Conners season 2, this seemed like a huge new opportunity for Roseanne’s sister. After the character spent decades struggling with jobs as varied as police work, truck driving, and a position in the local plastics factory, Jackie finally had a role that she truly wanted. When her mother Bev refused to hand her the restaurant’s deed, Jackie fought and convinced Darlene to let her run The Lunchbox.
