Had Lecy G. been in the role of Becky, would she have moved into the trailer park? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

That is the question. It just seemed to me that Becky 1/3 would not have done that. It seemed as thought the writers wrote the character based on the traits of the actresses that played the role. I don't think that Lecy's Becky would not have done that. Not in a million years! What do you guys think?

I am still upset that the writers had the second Becky tell Roseanne "We're going to try and have a baby..." AND ROSEANNE WAS HAPPY!!!!!!!!
I remember the OLD ROSEANNE AND DAN worried that Becky would end up pregnant after she married Mark.
Things just started getting weirder with the writing when the old Becky stepped out of the picture. It was no longer the same show.

I hated the trailer park idea, yet, Mark wasn't making great money, so it was real to show them not "living it up".

Brieannas21 · 11-15-2006, 07:15 PM

Irene I totally agree, why would Roseanne want Becky to have a baby when Becky and Mark weren't even making enough money to take care of themselves?????? That was totally stupid.

My question is, Did Mark and Becky move back in with Roseanne and Dan after Roseanne won the lottery? They were always there eating and watching tv.

ThomasE · 11-15-2006, 08:03 PM

No. They still had that the trailer. I can assure you, Brie. Becky #1 would not have been bubbly and overjoyed about moving into that trailer like the second.

But Becky LOVED MARK. SHE WANTED TO BE WITH HIM. SHE COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT HIM WHICH IS WHY SHE MARRIED HIM...

uke:

She was such a whiny brat blaming Dan for the bike shop failing.

Well, Ms. Irene, that may be the case, but I cannot see that girl all excited about that trailer. She loved him in the beginning. I am really disappointed. It seemed to me that Becky smartened up in season eight. Season nine, Lecy did not come back and Sarah was back and looked like she was more of a walk-on to me. I can see why the ratings dropped.

True. I can't see that myself. However, a lot of things occurred on Roseanne during that time and after that didn't make a lot of sense. Bad writing and Roseanne should have had her head on better to see where the show was going...DOWNHILL. Her making the character of Mark even dumber than he was, was one of the worst things to do. Also, not having the Becky character go to college. She wasn't pregnant, she could be married and still go to college.

That's why, for me after the 3rd season it's a little hard for me to watch Roseanne. Becky was SOOOOOOOOOOO Damn bratty and all of that back talk that she was doing. I don't know who would have put up with that without slapping the taste out of her mouth. The only episode where I could relate to Becky was the Birth control episode.

Yeah and what in the world was with Becky not being in College???? She would rather work as a waitress and put Mark through trade school, than her enrolling into college herself. I'm all for supporting your man and whatnot but PLEASE, the both of them could have gone to school and worked at the same time. I think Roseanne went a little loopy when she got with Tom.

Bingo! I think her divorce from Tom left her so angry and bitter that she retaliated against the men on the show. It had to have been, I mean, look at how the guys became DUH!

I agree with you on the "supporting your man" idea. They both could have done something better with their lives, especially since there was NO KIDS involved.

ThomasE · 11-16-2006, 02:40 AM

I do like the later seasons more than the first but some things got extremely ridiculous. Credibility was lacking.

Ireneparalegal · 11-16-2006, 03:44 PM

It seemed to start with all that plastic surgery. LOL

ThomasE · 11-16-2006, 09:20 PM

YES! I was thinking the same thing. I noticed how Roseanne looked different. I thought that she was looking really good. At the same time, it seemed as though she had a personality change she was more of 'you know what" than ever before. The personalities of the characters changed a lot, David, Mark, Becky(switcheroo) Jackie, Bev, Leon to a degree, Nancy, Audrey(Dan's Mother) Darlene and Roseanne. Dan and DJ were pretty much the same. It was really something. I love season six, though, but things were just out there. Season Nine went to hell in Roseanne's picnic basket. LOL.

I think there are lot of things that happened to the Becky character that wouldn't have happened it Lecy had been in the part all 9 season. One of course would be living in a trailer park. That would be to humilating for her, since she tries to be an over achiever. She also would have never worked at Buns.

There was no reason for her to work at all. According to what Mark said and what the original Becky told her family, is that Mark was offered a great job and would be making bank. Ok, so she married him and went to live with him so he could get this job. Why didn't Becky ATTEND COLLEGE!????? She did NOTHING! Such a sad state for this character. Working at Buns was the lowest for her. Especially wearing that outfit, Becky would have objected quick!

Roseanne, was not the same person. She went from this "real" mother to someone who was not very happy most of the time. Even during the pregnancy, the Roseanne character was a (excuse me) TOTAL BITCH! She didn't seem happy, she seemed cynical, she seemed bothered by everyone. I don't know why Roseanne Barr made this character change so much. Her face was always serious, even times when there should have been some joy or laughter, she was always cynical. It really became a nuisance to watch this character.

As for Jackie, God, she went from a cute looking lady to some trucker dude! She wore no make-up, her hair was too damn short, we never saw her wear a dress again, she also became some cynical person who wasn't happy with a good man like Fred. Jackie was always bitching she would never find a good man...here was Fred and she blows him off.
