Rosario Made One Last Appearance
In December 2019, Shelley Morrison passed away from heart failure. Originally meant to be a one-time character, her role as Rosario was beloved by many and led to her becoming a semi-regular during the show’s original run. Employed by Karen as her house-maid, the two would always get into arguments but always remained fiercely loyal to each other.
After her passing, Mullally praised Morrison’s accomplishments and stated “you will be missed.” McCormack posted a similar tribute on his Twitter stating “Shelley was a beautiful soul and a wonderful actor” while Messing said “she will always be our dear Rosie.” Though she passed away before the show’s revival, Morrison does make brief appearance in the form of a ghost in the Season 10 episode “Who’s Sorry Now?” where she tells Karen to find love and enjoy life to the fullest.
