'Roseanne' just explained the heartbreaking reason David has been absent from the show

  Warning: There are spoilers ahead for Tuesday's "Roseanne," "Darlene v. David." Johnny Galecki finally made his return to "Roseanne" in Tuesday's episode, and he resolved the mystery of why his character David had been missing on the show's revival. Yes, Galecki also stars on CBS' "The Big Bang Theory," making his appearance on the rival sitcom a little tougher. He'll appear in only one episode of "Roseanne"'s 10th season. Until Tuesday's episode, David's absence had been explained simply as his fleeing his responsibilities as a husband and a parent to help build homes for the underprivileged in third-world countries, but it turned out that wasn't the only reason he left Darlene.
