The SNL vet will turn up in the third episode of the ABC comedy’s upcoming third season playing a poker buddy of Dan’s (check out an exclusive sneak peek at their reunion above).
Coincidentally (or maybe not?) the episode featuring Aykroyd also marks Katey Sagal’s first episode back as Dan Conner’s crush interest Louise. As we exclusively reported, the Married With Children icon is set to appear in more than half of Season 2’s 19 episodes.
“We’re taking it slow,” showrunner Bruce Helford recently told TVLine about a potential Dan-Louise romance. “She wants a relationship. She wants romance. She is not giving up. But Dan is still having difficulty. He’s struggling with whether he’d be betraying [Roseanne] if he does move toward someone else. And can he ever find that feeling with anybody else?”
The Conners‘ second season debuts Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 8/7c. (Additional reporting by Vlada Gelman)
