Geena Williams Conner (Currently played by Maya Lynne Robinson) was a girl in D.J. Conner's class at school. Friction had developed when she was cast in a play alongside D.J. where their characters portrayed a couple. D.J. is reluctant to participate in the play because of this. When he admits he does not want to be seen with a black girl, Geena's father confronts the Conners accusing them of racism. After getting to the root of the matter, Roseanne and Dan, as well as Geena's parents get to the crux of the matter. D.J. is also overcoming peer pressure where he does not want to kiss girls in general. The four parents help to overcome D.J.'s misgivings and the play is a success.
In Season 10, it is revealed that Geena and D.J. are married and have a daughter together, Mary Conner who is named after D.J.'s great-grandmother Nana Mary. She is a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army and was serving overseas, leaving DJ alone to raise Mary by himself. She returns home from Afghanistan following Roseanne's death, but redeployed to Afghanistan not long after. Around two years later, she returns home for a visit. Realizing how much she's missed Mary, she makes the decision to retire from the military and stay with her family.
She later decided she didn't actually care about her family and went back to the military.
After making guest appearances in Season 7 and Season 10 in Roseanne, she was eventually promoted to a regular for the spin-off series The Conners. She departed the series after a single season, but returned for a guest appearance in the Season 3 finale.
