<P> Twenty one years later, in Season 10, Becky is shown to still be living in Lanford and working as a server at a chain Mexican Restaurant . Her husband Mark has died . Having been widowed and left in dire financial straits, she turns to egg donation and surrogacy in an effort to make ends meet, having been offered $50,000 from an affluent couple . Her parents are disapproving of Becky's decision, with Roseanne explaining to Becky that while she might not feel a connection to her biological child, Roseanne and the rest of the family would . Becky feels she isn't in a position to turn down the offer . Becky later finds out she has a very small chance of becoming pregnant . The couple that offered her the surrogacy decides they need to move on to someone else . </P> <P> Lecy Goranson played the role of Becky from the show's inception through Season 5 . Goranson decided to leave the show in order to earn her college degree (she attended Vassar College). Becky's absence is written as having her elope with Mark and moving out of state . However, producers wished to return the character to the show and since Goranson wasn't available, they recast the role with Canadian actress Sarah Chalke . Chalke appeared as Becky starting in the middle of Season 6 and all of Season 7 . Goranson returned for Season 8 as Becky, while still attending college, and Chalke was let go . However, Goranson's school schedule sometimes conflicted with her filming schedule and thus she was unavailable at times . The writers did not write in the Becky character when Goranson was not available for filming, but the show needed the Becky character in some episodes . Chalke was asked again to play the role when Goranson was not available during Season 8 . Not wanting to put the show through more scheduling conflicts, Goranson did not sign on for Season 9 and concentrated on her studies . The role was turned over to Chalke for Season 9 . With the series re-boot, Goranson plays the role of Becky . In Season 10, Goranson as Becky, and Chalke as a character named Andrea, comment on how much they resemble one another - as the two actors once had played the same role . </P> <P> Mark Healy is played by Glenn Quinn . Mark dates and later elopes with Becky, much to the Conners' consternation . Despite Mark's tough - guy image and rebel persona, he is rarely seen to engage in criminal activity . Roseanne initially had a strong dislike for Mark because of his condescending attitude toward her . Dan initially dislikes Mark as well; Mark's choice to ride a British Triumph motorcycle rather than an American Harley - Davidson causes particular tension . However, Dan soon respects Mark's work ethic and hires him as a mechanic, both at his bike shop and his truck - inspection office . Mark's personality changes drastically over the course of the series--he starts off as a rebellious delinquent but ultimately proves himself to be a caring and responsible (although dull - witted) husband and brother . Roseanne and the rest of the family eventually grow to love Mark, though they still get amusement out of insulting him . Mark has a younger brother, David, who dates (and later marries) Darlene . He also has two much younger sisters, Lisa and Nikki, who appear briefly in the Season 5 episode "No Place Like Home for The Holidays". </P> <P> In the Season 9 finale, Roseanne reveals that Mark had actually been dating Darlene in "real life", and Roseanne simply wrote that Mark and Becky were a couple because Roseanne felt that made more sense . In Season 10, this is retconned as a dream and a story by Roseanne . However, it is mentioned that Mark has passed away, leaving Becky a widow in severe financial ruin . No further information is given as to how long ago he died or what he died of, except that Darlene and David's 10 - year - old son is named after him . </P>
