juliet73 January 22 Share January 22 I agree with the other posts regarding Mary. She's growing up in a completely different generation and the writers missed so many opportunities to give her great storylines. Instead, we get the same weekly dose of Darlene complaining, everyone being broke, etc. At this point, I'm just hate watching this show and I know I can't be the only one. 2 1 Link to comment

I feel like they have no idea what to do with Becky and Darlene unless it relate to romantic interests. They will probably have Ben and Darlene have marital problems. At this point, I would tell Ben to run. There is no reason anyone would want to be a part of this terrible family. 2 1 Link to comment
Rocknrollzombie January 26 Share January 26 At this point the bad writing that gets worse every season has me like Eddie Brock from Tobey’s Spider-Man Movies. Praying for the show to get canned once and for all. 1 Link to comment
Rocknrollzombie March 1 Share March 1 (edited) Lecy on Becky and Mark (Glenn) ❤️during the recent interview “Aww I love that question, I think they would have had a really wonderful relationship, Inevitably there would still be conflict I think with Dan because you know they butted heads a lot. But I think Becky and Mark really had a real love and were compatible. …and um he’s also pretty cute I mean I think that and Becky also thinks that. No but he’s also sweet you know he’s a wonderful actor and a wonderful person we miss him very much…” She always has been a Becky and Mark supporter. She wouldn’t have traded/switched Mark for David.

They'd be happy to have Johnny back and would find some way to work David into the show if he wanted to be there, but they "can't drag him out of the woods of Tennessee" where he's busy with his wife and kids. 1 Link to comment

He doesn’t need the work (unlike everyone else). Unfortunately, the show made him out to be very unlikeable when he returned previously. He’s definitely above what this show has become. 4 Link to comment

Rocknrollzombie May 2 Share May 2 To those who liked it or just wish for it end so you are free from hate watching. Your prayers have been answered a very very short season 7 of 6 episodes which kind of makes up for the rest of the episode that would have been a full season 6…so technically ending after 6 seasons. Thank god 2 Link to comment
pinkandsparkly13 May 2 Share May 2 I'm sorry, but I don't get why people hate this show so much. Some things are annoying and all, but IMO it's not that bad. 🤷🏼♀️ But to each their own. Of course I don't think I've ever "hate-watched" any show. If I don't like it, I don't watch. I'm that way with General Hospital. I used to love it, but sometimes I try to watch and I have to stop with all the things I can't stand going on. It's better for my health. Lol 5 1 Link to comment
Bastet May 2 Share May 2 I love when showrunners know going in it's their last season, so they can take the time to lead up to something that feels like a proper ending. We'll see if they manage to send the Conners off in a satisfying way. 5 Link to comment

Jaded May 9 Share May 9 I stopped watching right before that double or triple wedding was supposed to take place. Initially it was supposed to be me taking a break for a bit. Eventually the thought of having to go back and slog through episodes I'd missed got to be too much for me to to even want to try. I was hoping for so much more from this show. The original series would have the family dealing with real struggles in life at times without making the whole tone of the show feel so dark and depressing. Having said that I don't remember ever feeling so hesitant in regards to deciding if I wanted to continue being a viewer. Sometimes It's felt like the current writers were trying to see just how down and out they could continue to keep everyone so the eventual backslides that would occur could make things even worse. The character of Jackie did get kind of eccentric over the course of time the original show aired. It was never as bad as the direction they decided to go with her in the first couple of seasons this series though. 3 Link to comment

And I don't how that would change Darlene's household dramatically. Hopefully it is Becky and her kid moving out. That would affect her with rent payments. And maybe she's just gonna be sad about them leaving. 1 Link to comment

SanDiegoInExile May 27 Share May 27 From April https://deadline.com/2024/04/abc-canceled-renewed-the-conners-not-dead-yet-1235885992/ That would happen if The Conners is renewed for one more final season. But in an indication how real the possibility is for the show to end this season, I hear a tag scene was shot that would be added to the Season 6 finale should it become a series finale Link to comment
