SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t watched this week’s midseason finale of Will & Grace, you may want to venture to greener pastures.
Here, we even have some suggestions:
Eelslap.com — “The most fun you’ll ever have with an eel and a mouse. Guaranteed.”
Corgiorgy.com — Yeah, basically what it sounds like.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Nooooooooooooooo.com — The opposite of yes.
OK, if you’re still reading, that means you’re either caught up on W&G or you just don’t care about sitcom spoilers. Either way, you’re our kind of people.
On last night’s episode, fans were rocked as the show killed off a major character.
Rosario Salazar, Karen’s maid, is no more.
Shelley Morrison, the actress who brilliantly played Rosario for all those years, decided not to return with the series, so it was only a matter of time before the revamped show addressed her absence.
Morrison is 80 years old now if you can believe it, and has retired from acting altogether.

In the episode, Karen gives Rosario a fitting sendoff:
“You were my everything, Rosario. People keep asking me, what do you need, what do you need? I need for you to not be gone.”
“Te amo, Mami.”
Fans were a bit shook:
How are we supposed to live without Rosario on #WillAndGrace? Her relationship with Karen was comedic gold. I’m officially in mourning. pic.twitter.com/BlIHHAUiHT

Below find some clips of Rosario and Karen’s extra special chemistry:

I agree. Rosario Dawson is a loss. Shelley Morrison is 80 years old. I wish I could say 80 years young. Obviously even though her fans might feel that way she doesn’t. And she may have health issues. Replacing the actress so that Rosario would live on would have been a disservice. Morrison had comedic timing that is rare today. It wasn’t coached. You could tell that Shelley had crafted this over many years. And she had a great rapport with Karen and the actress who plays her. I think if the producers had continued with the character we would have felt cheated. Honestly though I wish Shelley had agreed to appear so the character could have been sent off in style. I think a Shelley ghost would have been cool. But I respect Shelley’s work and who she is and we will miss Rosario terribly.
CNYMASC
Very deep moving episode. I love the show
He BGB
Usually I hate when the show gets serious, but I liked this. When Karen said she was just going to sit there by Rosie for awhile….bam! The tears started. The writers are genius on dividing up humor and drama. It’s boring when Grace talks about marriage or having a baby (more in the first 8 seasons).
Greg
They also let us know that Grace’s mother (Debbie Reynolds) died.
Heywood Jablowme
Yes, last night was surprisingly well done. (And you’re right, wouldn’t Grace be past menopause by this point? She must be, like, 50!)
Every episode so far in “W&G 2.0” has been pretty gimmicky: the Melania/Oval Office stuff, the return of Harry Connick, the return of Michael Anganaro, the return of “Beverley Leslie,” the death of Rosario… but so far all the gimmicks have made sense and been very fun. Not sure they can keep this up, but so far the writing has been excellent.
Greg
It was sad. I’m glad the show is back.
Bob Scardino
I am probably the only one who sees Will and Grace as the Amos and Andy of gay culture.
Griff_Greymuzzle
Nope. Not the only one….
BGinBigD
Yes, you are. The writers of the show are teaching us all through sarcastic humor. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, even in exploitation of ourselves, sometimes, they how will we survive in the real world?
THAT Steve
I hate it too. I clicked on this hoping they’d killed off Grace or Will!
happy50132003
AMEN…..AMEN…..verbal porn in my opinion
robert_moore
No, you aren’t. I never found a connection with it even though I watched some episodes. Let’s be honest, the original show relied more on Karen and Rosario than the other characters.
Jimmy
i remember when she was in the west hollywood gay pride parade. Everyone was running up to her, hugging and kissing her. She was overwhelmed and crying, and kept saying, “i had no idea i was so cared about”. I am glad i got to meet her. Xo
Prax07
I sat there crying too. Deeply moving episode, especially if you care about these characters.
Knight
Wow….you must really not have a life.
jdig84
Wow, @knight. Why are you such a dick?
Frank
WHO WOULD CRY, Rosario dying could be seen a MILE AWAY…it was so contrived and stupid…
BGinBigD
Rosario R.I.P.
happy50132003
Love the old Will & Grace but the new show is to gross. Verbal Porn is how I would classify it. To much dirty talk for me. Not to mention the tacky political talk. Get real people it was a show the actress did not die in real life
Texasholdem
Stop trying to make “verbal porn” happen.
YourDad
Texasholdem: ^^^ Can’t stop laughing.
Frank
The show is garbage now as it is 2017 and the same old CRAP…
Grace is irresponsible and vapid with the personality that no fag hag should ever have but sadly many do
Jack does not work but can somehow afford the lavish apartment next door to Will…
Will is sexually neutered…he knows he is gay but it ends there…I mean boarded up glory holes get more action than him….
Karen well she is just Karen…
As far as this episode….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFZrzg62Zj0
jdig84
It’s almost as if it’s fiction!
Frank
But you are an idiot and that is non-fiction…
Prax07
Will & Karen, I think, pay for Jack’s apartment.
Frank
Does Jack suck Will off and finger Grace to justify paying his rent?
Heywood Jablowme
“Does Jack suck Will off …”
Probably he does, that totally makes sense, but they could only allude to that on some hypothetical HBO version of W&G.
Frank, you must be one of those two dozen guys who actually liked “Looking”!
mz.sam
Rosario was the next best character after Karen. But this fatal resurrection of W&G should be place in the coffin and nailed shut along with Rosario. SO VERY YESTERDAY.
Terrycloth
Reading these comments I’m sure these days everyone has cable or dish..don’t like the show change the damn channel there’s other things you may like. I loved the show from day one..sometimes it’s far fetched but it’s not real life ..it’s a sitcom.and a very halarious one at that..only problem with it for me ..it’s a half hour. Wish it were longer….
Prax07
Not sure why all the hate for this show. Loved it then, loving it now. And if this isn’t to your taste, what other show, that’s gay centered, do you actually like? Looking? I tried Looking when it first aired and I hated it. Drag Race? Not into drag queens. Modern Family? I watch it but not for the gays, they’re just annoying. Not sure what else there is right now.
stevetalbert
I get the impression they are worried about verbal porn. Orr was that terrible porn? I need new readers alrwady. Is this the same will and grace from 10 years ago?? Will george w do a cameo with cher??!
Knight
Gee…one less jew in Hollywood. Who else will they possibly get to play all those Italian and Latino roles????
JessPH
That was a heartbreaking episode. Rosario will be terribly missed.
On the bright side, Minnie Driver was back. I love Lorraine Finster. I wish though that they have given her a longer and juicier role.
Keebler ILF
After showing up for the funeral, Minnie Driver’s double entendre really cracked me up:
“I heard as soon as I came”.
