The Conners' third season has also revealed the circumstances around the off-screen death of Mark Healy, with his widow Becky (Lecy Goranson) opening up about the freak motorcycle accident he suffered.
Actor Glenn Quinn, who played Mark in Roseanne, died in 2002 of a drug overdose and his death was referenced during Roseanne's revival season, but episode 'Cheating, Revelations and a Box of Doll Heads' saw Becky reveal what had happened to him.
She also explained that losing Mark had been a huge influence on her drinking.
