Yeah but they're acting like it was all him. They basically said he took the money Roseanne and Dan sent Becky. Did that happen? I Can't remember

 

I'm no Mark fan, but they're acting like he was a major villain. Dan even says "it took 25 years but I got Becky to blame Mark for all her problems"

From what I recall, Dan and Roseanne gave Becky money to go back to school...and she instead enrolled Mark in school.  And he failed out of school and wouldn't go back.

 

Ever since season 1 of OG Roseanne, Becky always was drawn to the bad boy and was willing to do anything to be with him (remember how she snuck out in season 1 in 8th grade for a guy?).

It was always established in the original show that Becky excelled in school and was popular. Basically that she had a strong future ahead of her, but when she eloped with Mark, she threw all that potential away to be with him. Thus her life was never able to be what it could have been.

 

Part of why she eloped with Mark in the first place was because she was pissed that Dan and Roseanne didn’t have enough money to send her to college.

    • Aww I was hoping that Zimmerman would still do the breakdown like the last two episodes. But good to see Martin on script.    YASSSSSS DD YASSSSSSSSS!! Selling Nicole. The venom in her inflections.   'We'll see you leave in one piece.' Oooo Anita.
    • Or they'd make her a Dupree for equally valid reasons.
    • 'No...she won't.' Ooooo Silk Press Sheila...get him. And yassss to Anita getting it on. And Martin looks triggered. Flashback incoming...?   Awww Nicole.
    • Should've brought in the Tide Pods then... oh wait, is that too soon?
    • A talented soap opera writing team would accept the challenge of keeping Eva as Ted and Silk Press Dana's daughter... and having her co-exist amongst the classist Duprees.   However, the writing team seems pre-disposed to the easy way out so Eva will end up being Nicole's daughter... when we have far too many Dupree women in that generation and no hetero Dupree men in that generation. I'm tuning in now to watch the episode since I anticipate it being a stellar episode... but I'm hoping that May sweeps will start to move away from the B & B tendency of focusing on only one main tale at a time and also start beefing up the non-Dupree cast members and their stories. It's kind of why I don't mind Derek and Ashley since at least they're not connected to the Duprees... plus I find myself liking Vanessa/Doug also for that same reason.
    • Absolutely! From a technical standpoint, Phelps is a very well-done producer. She knows how to produce a soap from a visual focus. Creatively? Not always.
    • It's tiiiiiiiime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Interesting show. I liked very much the Shawn and Johnny talk, one tortured about shooting his dad, the other not so much (if he did it, which I doubt). Marlena was strangely empathetic to EJ which was a switch, and I liked him offering his Cat date to Chad. I want to see Cat given a personality by the new writers. Ron could not be bothered with her since she was dumped on him by the strike team and was too big a name for him to fire like he did poor BobbyEverett. So we got the awful Fabby story and then 2x a month airings with her acting like a spaz. I actually like the entire Greene family (apart from the mother) and would like to see more of them.   Highlight of the show was seeing Steve and Kayla act like the duo I remember from their heyday. I got a lump in my throat when she thanked him for loving her brother.
    • I know that VW thought it sounded like a good story when it was pitched to her.  I know that by the end of it she thought it was positively awful. I suspect that if we were to try to pinpoint when that changed, we might be pretty accurate. But, agree to disagree about her performance,  which of course, is never a big deal. Specifically, I do not think she phoned anything in. And, I attribute her slight accent from a certain point  on, to COUPLETS not to Justine.
