While new lovey-dovey relationships have been formed over the show’s two seasons, many of the OG viewers who watched Roseanne still had hopes for Darlene and David.
Fans will know that The Conners is, truly, all about personal relationships.
Now, though it looks like those hopes have been killed for good, because Jay R. Ferguson, who plays Darlene’s boyfriend Ben, has just been upped to series regular.
But, while the show has always focused on the eponymous clan, how they deal with their differences as a family, and the way they brave their many (many) troubles together, that has never meant that romance is off the table as something to be explored.
