In and out of Roseanne

Goranson exited the series in 1992 to pursue an education at Vassar College. Gilbert did too; however, her schedule permitted her to appear part-time. Under the new arrangement, the show's producers and writers had to take care to write scenes for Becky sparingly. Goranson's exit resulted in Becky's eloping with her husband, Mark, who was played by Glenn Quinn. Becky would be seen via the phone briefly on some occasions as she lived out of state. In the next season, although not at the beginning, the producers decided to bring the character back. Goranson was still unavailable, so in a same character, different actor situation, Sarah Chalke was brought into the role. 1992 (MCMXCII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday. ...

When the show reached its eighth season, Goranson managed to schedule things so that she could work as Becky, re-replacing Chalke. Goranson appeared continuously at the beginning but mid-season it became a problem. On two occasions, Goranson had to pull out of episodes Becky was intended to appear in, so Chalke took over the role. Such episodes include the family visit to Disney World and Darlene's wedding, episodes in which Becky was needed. Goranson appeared again towards the end of the season; however, she decided not to continue following the end of the eighth season. For the ninth and final year, Chalke rejoined the cast as Becky Conner.
