Now, EW has revealed Chalke’s role in the Roseanne revival, and it’s almost another meta joke in and of itself.
By season 6 though, producers had recast the Becky role with Chalke, who played Becky for the entirety of seasons 6 and 7.
The role of older Conner daughter Becky was of course originally played on Roseanne by Lecy Goranson, who will reprise the role in ABC’s upcoming revival.
The role is quite fitting when one considers that Chalke was in essence Roseanne’s surrogate Becky when Goranson was unable to continue playing the character.
