Whoopi Goldberg has been cast as a guest star in an upcoming episode of ABC’s The Conners.

Goldberg will play Ms. Glen in the Roseanne sequel series, Mark’s (Ames McNamara) intimidating music teacher, who has a complicated history with another member of the Conner family.

The current Season 5 sees the Conners continue to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford. Dan (John Goodman), Jackie (Laurie Metcalf), Darlene (Sara Gilbert) and Becky (Lecy Goranson) grapple with parenthood, dating, financial pressures and aging in working-class America. Through it all—the fights, the coupon cutting, the hand-me-downs, the breakdowns—with love, humor and perseverance, the family prevails.
