Back in 2018, when Roseanne made its much-anticipated reboot on ABC, fans were thrilled—but there was one glaring absence that left a void in their hearts: David Healy, played by the talented Johnny Galecki. Now, here's the scoop: Johnny, who was 43 at the time, couldn’t commit fully to Roseanne because of his binding contract with CBS’ The Big Bang Theory. So, he made a cameo appearance in just one episode of the reboot. Fans were left wondering if they'd ever see David back in the world of the Conners.
Fast forward to when Roseanne got canceled and transformed into The Conners. Guess what? Johnny showed up again—not once, but twice—in Episodes 2 and 11. However, he wasn’t credited in those appearances, likely due to his contractual obligations with The Big Bang Theory. But here’s where things get interesting. With The Big Bang Theory concluding its incredible run after 12 seasons, fans started speculating if Johnny would return to The Conners full-time. Let’s dive into what Johnny had to say about it.
Johnny Galecki Speaks Out on His Future Plans
In a candid interview with TVline.com, Johnny opened up about his future plans. He admitted that having numerous options is indeed a "fortunate problem," but he also revealed that he might need a little break from being a series regular. After years of non-stop work on The Big Bang Theory, Johnny expressed his desire to take some time off to recharge and explore other opportunities. Who could blame him, right?

Will Johnny Be Back on 'The Conners'?
Let’s take a moment to reflect. In the final seasons of The Big Bang Theory, the cast was compensated handsomely. Johnny likely has a healthy bank account, which gives him the freedom to choose projects that truly excite him, rather than ones he feels obligated to take on. Although he’s taking a break from being a series regular, Johnny isn’t ruling out future appearances on The Conners. In fact, he expressed his hope to return as much as possible, calling the show his "second home" and sharing that he still has a "high school crush" on the character of David Healy.
But hold on—there’s one more twist. As of now, ABC hasn’t officially renewed The Conners for a second season. Fans will have to wait until May when the network reveals its fall lineup to find out if David Healy will have the chance to reunite with the Conners family.
