Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton talk Everybody Loves Raymond reboot: ‘We're all heartbroken'
Everybody still loves Raymond — but when it comes to a revival, the Barone household just wouldn't be the same. Stars Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton are putting Everybody Loves Raymond reboot rumours to rest. The pair weighed in on the topic while celebrating 30 years of the beloved sitcom at The Paley Museum in New York City on June 16. The series' creator Phil Rosenthal and Maggie Wheeler (who had a guest role as Linda Gruenfelder) were also among those in attendance. 'No, there won't be a reboot,' Romano, 67, exclusively told The Post on the red carpet of the anniversary event. The actor noted that while there are a couple of reasons a revival isn't possible, one stands out. 'The obvious is Peter [Boyle] and Doris [Roberts] and one of the kids — they're no longer with us,' Romano said. 'We're all heartbroken. They're a big part of the show, the dynamic.' Boyle, who played Frank Barone, Romano's on-screen father, died from multiple myeloma and heart disease in 2006 at the age of 71. Roberts, Boyle's TV wife and Romano's mother, Marie Barone, died in 2016 at the age of 90. Sawyer Sweeten, who portrayed one of Romano's twin sons (Geoffrey Barone), died by suicide in 2015. He was 19. 'Without them, I don't know what the dynamic is,' Romano added. 'We love the show too much, we respect it too much to even try to do it.' The ensemble also included Sullivan Sweeten (Michael Barone), Madylin Sweeten (Ally Barone), Brad Garrett (Robert Barone) and Monica Horan (Amy MacDougall-Barone). 'To try to do it again without the cast members that we've lost would be a disservice to the show,' Heaton, 67, told The Post, agreeing with Romano. 'You shouldn't try to go back and redo something that is pretty much perfect,' Heaton went on. 'We need to just leave it there and let people enjoy it for what it was.' The actress explained that Romano and Rosenthal, 65, chose to end the series when they did because 'they felt like they'd really done all of the stories.' 'They have a lot of integrity in that way,' Heaton said. 'The network would have wanted us to go for three more years, but they didn't want to run the show into the ground.' Garrett told People something similar when asked whether there will be a revival. 'There won't be,' he said at the premiere of Disney Pixar's Elio in Los Angeles on June 10. 'And I'm just saying that because that's something that Ray and Phil [Rosenthal] have always said.' 'There is no show without the parents,' Garrett added. 'They were the catalyst, and to do anything that would resemble that wouldn't be right to the audiences or to the loyal fan base. And it was about two families, and you can't get around that.' Though he's ruled out a revival, Romano said a reunion isn't off the table. 'Will there be a reunion? That we would love to do,' the No Good Deed actor revealed to The Post. 'I think we're considering and working on that happening.' Romano and Heaton reunited for the series' 30th anniversary celebration, a kick-off event for The Paley Museum's new exhibit, 30 Years of Everybody Loves Raymond: A Behind-the-Scenes Tribute. Heaton got a sneak peek at the collection, which includes rare photos, videos, wardrobe and props, and called the experience 'very overwhelming to see.' 'I really teared up because when you're doing a show, you're just trying to make the best episodes you can for that week,' Heaton told The Post, reflecting on her time making the sitcom. 'To do that, you're not thinking about legacy,' she said. 'You're not thinking about a historical TV show, which I really feel like it's become the new Honeymooners. People all over the world love this show, so it was really wonderful to be a part of it.' Heaton starred as Debra Barone opposite Romano's Ray Barone for all nine seasons of the CBS sitcom, which ran from 1996 to 2005. The role earned her back-to-back Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 2000 and 2001. Debra was a stay-at-home mum who often squabbled with her mother-in-law Marie, who just so happened to live across the street. One of Debra's most memorable storylines was when she cooked Ray lemon chicken on their first date, to which he replied, 'I could eat this the rest of my life!' He got his wish, as Debra went on to make it several times after they got married. As for whether Heaton has whipped it up in real life, she quipped, 'It's now just my husband [David Hunt] and I — we're empty nesters — but there's nothing like a good lemon chicken.'
