The Conners : How Becky s Roseanne Husband Mark Died
✖
The Conners has been dealing with some serious heartbreak in recent episodes as Becky (Alicia Goranson) suffered from an alcoholic relapse and ended up in rehab. In the latest episode, Cheating, Revelations and a Box of Doll Heads, the root of Becky s alcoholism was revealed: the death of her husband, Mark, played by Glenn Quinn in the original series,
Roseanne. While Mark s death has been alluded to, an exact reason was never given. Quinn died from a drug overdose in 2002, but his character was not given the same end.
In the episode, Becky s roommate at rehab wonders if her stint in rehab is God s plan, to which Becky replies, The last time [God] helped me, she threw a deer in front of my husband’s motorcycle, and he died. Later in a therapy session with her family, Becky admitted that she turned to alcohol to numb the pain after her husband s death. I didn’t want to feel anything for a while, and then a whi
Jackie: Why? It could be fun catching up.
Becky: Nah. His imagination is better than the reality. I d rather keep the illusion that I m too busy to post on Instagram because I m a success,

30 Rock takes its viewers behind the scenes of a sketch-comedy show, covering the tendency toward lunacy of its actors, writers, and corporate executives. Liz Lemon (Fey) is continually forced to mediate between her show’s stars (played by Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski) while dealing with the absurd demands of her mentor/boss, the sharp-toothed corporate shark Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin), whose strict capitalist conservatism clashes with Lemon’s liberalism. In her efforts to “have it all,” a successful career and a loving family, the overworked, food-loving curmudgeon invents her own sense of normalcy, which at one point includes being married in a Princess Leia dress. This critically acclaimed comedy is infused with irony line after line and owns a self-awareness that often offers commentary on the sitcom genre as well as social concerns in a quirky voice that is completely unique to its creator.
