Is something big happening to Becky in The Conners?
By Sefket Nouri
Something big may be happening to Becky in an upcoming episode of The Conners. Judging by Becky’s face, it doesn’t appear to be good.
ABC released stills for the upcoming episode of The Conners Season 1, Episode 5 named “Miracles.” The episode stills look interesting. It sure has my attention, however, I’m not sure what to think.
TV Line speculated Becky could be pregnant. If she is pregnant, who’s the father? She’s not dating anyone. Her husband Mark Healy was in seasons 3-9 of Roseanne. After Roseanne ended in 1997, the actor who played Mark, Glenn Quinn, passed away on December 3, 2002.
As it turned out in the series finale of Roseanne, Season 9, Episode 24 “Into That Good Night, Part 2” Becky didn’t have a baby. Roseanne Barr talked about her fictional life in a voice-over that the show was about her writing, and said that she could change things around if she didn’t like it. So it appeared that Becky wasn’t pregnant.
My predictions for the upcoming episode: Maybe Becky is having a tough time giving up drinking and it leads to Dan firing Becky? The Conners talked about Becky’s drinking in Season 1, Episode 3 “Tangled Up in Blue.” Becky brought in vodka to Dan’s work early in the morning and Dan had no tolerance for it. Especially as he could lose his working license if she got into an accident at his workplace.

The synopsis of The Conners for Season 1, Episode 5 “Miracles”, per ABC:
"Life-changing news lands in the Conner household when a member of the family makes an announcement that no one saw coming.Meanwhile, Dan is suspicious that Becky isn’t sticking to her end of the deal when it comes to her drinking. Darlene continues her job search, and Jackie offers English lessons to a Casita Bonita busboy in need”."
Later on during the episode of “Tangled Up in Blue,” Becky confessed to Dan that she had a drinking problem and she couldn’t stop drinking without a day going by. Dan gave her six weeks to ease down on drinking or he would have to fire her.
Becky’s drinking problem is what would make the most sense to me, and not Becky being pregnant. Either that or, if Becky is still drinking, Dan may have banned her from seeing the family until she gets her act together. Also, vodka early in the morning? Geez, come on!
Or, as you see in the above picture, she could have gotten caught drinking at work during break. Therefore, she would have had to leave her apartment since she has no income.

Dan could have given Becky a harsh lesson and didn’t allow Becky to live with him, Darlene, Harris and Mark in the same household. I doubt that would happen, as that would be extremely harsh, especially as Becky is Dan’s daughter. Perhaps Becky was drinking before her shift began and she became angry at her customers, making her get suspended or worse, fired?
I doubt the life-changing news would be for Darlene, but I could be wrong. She just started dating Neil, and there is no way he would have already proposed to her two-three dates in.
