Lecy Goranson Roseanne
Goranson studied acting in Chicago and subsequently landed the role of Becky Conner. It was only the second time she ever auditioned for any part. She played the character for five seasons, exiting the series in 1992, several episodes into the fifth season, to attend Vassar College. Her academic schedule allowed her to continue appearing part-time as Becky. Under her new arrangement, the show’s producers and writers wrote scenes for Becky sparingly. Goranson’s exit resulted in Becky’s eloping with her boyfriend Mark. During the following season, the producers wanted to bring back the character. Goranson was still unavailable, so Sarah Chalke auditioned and won the role.
Chalke played Becky for the remainder of the sixth season and all of the seventh season. When the show reached its eighth season, Goranson was able to play Becky again while still attending college, replacing Chalke. Goranson appeared in the show’s eighth season, but by mid-season she had scheduling conflicts with school again. On two occasions Goranson had to pull out of episodes in which the Becky character was necessary: Darlene’s wedding and a family trip to Walt Disney World. Chalke played Becky for these episodes. Toward the season’s end, Goranson returned to play Becky. When the series was renewed for a ninth season, Goranson, who was still in school, declined to continue in the role in order not to cause scheduling conflicts. Chalke returned for the ninth season, which was her last appearance in that role. Chalke did appear in season 10 as the new character Andrea who attempts to enlist Becky as a surrogate mother.
The appearances by Goranson vs. Chalke became a running gag. Goranson’s first re-appearance was marked with a, “Where the hell have you been?” comment from several cast members while in character. Similarly, Chalke’s sporadic appearances during Season 8 would be played for humor with an, “Aren’t you glad you’re here this week?” remark from Roseanne. There was even a glimpse into the future where a grown-up and somewhat catatonic DJ, played by John Goodman instead of Michael Fishman, repeatedly uttered to a psychiatrist (referring to Becky), “They say she’s the same, but she isn’t the same”. One episode ended with both Beckys performing a parody of the opening theme of the Patty Duke Show, with similar music and lyrics to the “identical cousins song”, and an appearance by William Schallert, who played the father on that show.

In May 2017, it was affirmed that Goranson would be returning in the job of Becky. Chalke would likewise show up, assuming an alternate part. The restoration of Roseanne debuted on Walk 27, 2018, on ABC. On May 29, 2018, directly following questionable comments made by Roseanne Barr on Twitter in regards to Valerie Jarrett (a guide of previous president Barack Obama), ABC dropped the restoration after a solitary season.
On June 21, 2018, ABC declared a side project from Roseanne, entitled The Conners, with all the first cast of Roseanne to return, with the exception of Barr herself. The new show debuted on October 16, 2018. Goranson composed season four’s fourteenth episode, “Set off”, zeroing in on weapon viciousness in the US.
