Spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn’t seen the Season 5 premiere yet The Connersso be careful!
What The Conners returned to ABC for his fifth season, he reintroduced viewers to his finale newlywed couple : Darlene & Ben and Jackie & Neville, and the latter duo clearly don’t suffer from a lack of lustful energy. The premiere also showed the new life situation in the future, with Becky and Beverly Rose moving in with most of Darlene’s team members. It was a relatively disaster-free episode, except for Mark’s second. experience with mind-altering substances Does that mean these characters should get used to such shimmering herbs?
When Gossipify’s Sarah El-Mahmoud sat down with Sara Gilbert and Lecy Goranson before “Double Honeymoon and Seeing Double,” she asked what fans could expect from Darlene and Becky at the start of Season 5, and it actually seems like everything, everything. it’s up to Conner’s two daughters. Which only serves to sow suspicion in my mind, but let’s keep things upbeat for now.
Sara Gilbert on Darlene and Ben’s new home and early marriage
When asked how Darlene and Ben’s new home would compare to the iconic TV landmark that is the Conner family home, Sara Gilbert shared that things would be relatively modest and that fans shouldn’t expect anyone to start. to avoid the main residence. In her words:
Well, obviously it will have been done on a tight budget. So even if it’s new, it’s not going to be super stylish or anything. But I think it will be a nice change for Darlene to live in her father’s house and her nursery, or have children in her daycare. I still think we’re going to spend a lot of time at the Connors.
Dan shared automatic complaints whenever Harris expressed a desire to stay in the main house instead of jumping to the news with the rest of his family, as he thought he was finally grant her wish of Louise for peace, quiet and privacy when you are at home. So, for her sake, I hope that when Gilbert says that Darlene & Co. will spend “a lot” of time there, he is referring to when Katey Sagal’s character is on tour and performing in concerts. (Where, perhaps ironically, it’s best to be sold out.)
Considering that Ben and Darlene’s relationship has gone from wildly stormy to a little less stormy in recent years, we asked Sara Gilbert how positive and / or impulsive they would continue to be in the first chapter of their married life. . And while things obviously aren’t perfect, she doesn’t hint at anything volcanic on the horizon, saying:
I don’t think we really touch impulsivity, but we have some little problems that come up when you are newly weds. No, it’s nothing dramatic or big. It’s not like we have big fights, but just negotiating the dynamics of a new marriage.
But the phrase “calm before the storm” exists for a reason, and in a similar show The Conners, a sequence of non-devastating vibrations is a good indicator that the other shoe will drop pretty hard at some point. Which isn’t to say viewers should expect Darlene and Ben’s marriage to fail or anything, but the creative team knows how. do tragic things without necessarily crushing the characters themselves.
The ConnersShowrunner Bruce Helford has already confirmed the fifth season it would not focus on home renovations or something similar before the characters settled in their respective homes. So presumably we won’t have to worry about Darlene falling off multiple roofs, causing more spontaneous changes in her and Ben’s life, or big fights over what her home should be like. Just normal quarrels between married couples.
Lecy Goranson in Becky’s first voyage of Season 5
Becky was the only adult character on the show who didn’t go through some sort of personal marital problem in Season 4, if you count the AWOL-affected DJ Geena’s marriage again afterwards. his return in the third season finale . Which isn’t to say that Lecy Goranson’s character didn’t have her struggles to go through, but more than ever Becky’s life is thriving right now. When asked about the character’s situation in the first episodes of season five, here’s what the actress said:
She is still in school. She is the only one now that she is not married. I guess Harris isn’t married either. But he is looking for love and is still a mother to her daughter of him. I think Becky thinks, like many moms, that her daughter will be the girl who comes out, you know, when she doesn’t. But Beverly Rose is very smart and Charlie, who plays Beverly Rose, is also very smart and fun to work with. We don’t know much. We get the scripts week after week, so we’re literally at this stage of the third week. But Sara, of course, is the executive producer and has all the scoop.
I think we can all expect to see some ups and downs when it comes to Darlene and Becky living together under a different roof, especially if Darlene is setting the rules. (Shit, Ben.) After seeing the newlywed couple being so stressed out over hearing Jackie and Neville having sex in the same booth, I can’t wait to see how they react every time Becky brings someone home for fun. .
One of Becky’s permanent anchors is her past with alcohol abuse and her current path to sobriety. As often happens in such cases, she has stumbled along the way, but Lecy Goranson doesn’t seem to think she Becky will stumble anytime soon, even with a big life change as a move, and instead gives the impression that she is using the darkness. . . times to inspire a better future.
Oh yes, it’s still there. It was fun because today we were playing cards in one scene and there was an extra beer. And I was like, ‘Get this off Becky.’ [Laughs.]. I was like, someone will watch it on TV and think she’s back in the gravy. You know what I mean ? So yeah, I think he was pretty scary when he had that relapse, but I think he’s in a really good position because he changed his life. You’re really not doing dead-end work anymore. He has a path and a goal.
Of course, when I spoke to showrunner Bruce Helford last season when the finale aired, he hinted that Becky’s drifting nature lead to complications . Although I guess complications don’t necessarily mean real disaster. It’s hard to shake off the creepy feelings about what’s to come for the Conner family soon, but I’m happy to bask in their wavering joy while it lasts.
The Conners aired on Wednesday evening in ABC at 8 p.m. ET, with episodes available to stream the next day with a Hulu subscription . go to our Program of the first TV 2022 to see what other new and returning shows are on the way.
