Fans were split over Will & Grace’s midseason finale, as the show killed off a major original character.
The show said goodbye to fan favourite Rosario Salazar, Karen’s maid and frequent sparring partner.
The character had been conspicuously absent from the show during the revival run after actress Shelley Morrison decided not to return to the role.
Morrison, who is 80, explained that she has retired from acting and declined to return to film an exit – leaving it up to the show to explain the mysterious absence of her acerbic housekeeper.
She had been referred to several times off-screen during the run, but Thursday’s episode, ‘Rosario’s Quinceanera’, saw her killed off for good.
The episode sees Karen left devastated by the maid’s sudden death from a heart attack, just as she was planning her a ‘Quinceanera’ to celebrate 15 years of menopause.
Will, Grace and Jack rally to support Karen at Rosario’s funeral, as some of her old friends make an appearance.
