Most of the time, The ConnersThe fifth season of “The Good Wife” began with most characters in relatively good spirits, thanks to the matrimonial bliss closed Season 4However, things are moving at a steady pace. However, it is possible that the status quo dysfunctional could turn dark and depressing. the sitcom’s Halloween festivities, as it sounds like ABC’s Wednesday night sitcoms might get hit with another character death following The Goldbergs’ handling of Murray’s passing via time jump.
The ConnersIs set to We are glad to have you back Roseanne vet Estelle Parsons as Jackie and Roseanne’s ever-judgy mom Beverly, which marks her first guest spot since Season 3, with COVID setbacks thwarting potential past attempts to bring her back. And while I’ll freely admit this could just be offbase conjecture of the morbid variety, take a look at the episode description for The Conners’ upcoming Thanksgiving episode and tell me it doesn’t ring ominous for ol’ Bev.
- “Untitled” – It’s Thanksgiving at the Conners and Jackie must come to terms with her mother, Beverly, becoming ill. Darlene continues her job search, which turns out to be more difficult than expected. (working episode description)
If Bev was suffering from a cold, a stomach virus, or even the flu, it wouldn’t be a fun ordeal, but probably wouldn’t spark a life-adjusting reaction from Jackie, who tends to take pleasure in her mother’s misery. And that’s understandable. But is it possible to do so? “come to terms”With another person “becoming ill” in a way that’s anything but terminal?
With Jackie having uprooted to move into Neville’s animal-tethered bubble after the big wedding, Laurie Metcalf’s character has been at home on an emotional edge, and it was only a matter of time until Bev once again factored into her neuroses. But to have Bev possibly facing a cancer diagnosis or something similar would affect her daughter’s headspace in a completely different way than usual, five years or so after Roseanne died via overdose.
All that said, things don’t have to end depressingly even if the November 16 episode does introduce something dour. Even if Bev does have cancer or some other life-threatening disease, it still doesn’t mean things will prove fatal. It could just be a shock to Jackie’s system that her mom is losing her independence to the health system, or something in that vein, without Bev necessarily standing at death’s door, nagging the Grim Reaper to open up.
The ConnersD.J. was already officially said farewell. Michael Fishman having departed ahead of the season’s start, being explained away as him being off visiting his wife, with Mary bouncing between houses in the meantime. Is it possible to wish Bev a happy holiday season?
Bruce Helford, the showrunner, shared his thoughts with TVLineSeptember saw the ConnersEstelle Parsons was being secured by the team, according to “a couple of important episodes”They know what they have in store for Bev. So while it sounds like we definitely won’t have to worry about her being killed off in the episode referred to above, that sense of security won’t last long.
