The Conners season 6 has brought back a core character who was missing in action for a while. The Roseanne spinoff sequel has seen various characters come and go since its premiere, sometimes leaving out certain family members to focus on specific storylines. However, the absence of a primary cast member for several episodes in The Conners season 6 has raised eyebrows, especially when they are expected to play a significant role in the upcoming episodes.
One such character is Mark, Darlene's son, who has been notably absent in the current season. The latest episode synopsis confirms that Mark will finally make his return in episode 4, titled 'Shrinks Don't Talk and Kids Don't Sing.' Mark's storyline in The Conners season 5 finale revolved around his disappointment when his father, David, failed to show up for his high school graduation, setting the stage for his college journey.
While The Conners has not provided an explanation for Mark's absence, it is speculated that his character is busy preparing for college life. The recent focus on other storylines, such as Bev's departure in episode 3, may have also contributed to Mark's limited presence in the early episodes of the season.
With Mark's return confirmed, it remains to be seen how the show will integrate his character moving forward. His college experience could offer new narrative opportunities, shedding light on Darlene's sacrifices for his education. The Conners season 6 airs new episodes every Wednesday at 8pm ET on ABC, continuing the story of the Conner family in Lanford, Illinois.
The Conners is a spinoff of the popular sitcom Roseanne, which originally aired in 1988. Starring John Goodman and Roseanne Barr, the show was revived in 2018 before transitioning into The Conners following its cancellation. The series follows Dan Conner's children, Darlene, Becky, and DJ, played by Sara Gilbert, Alicia Goranson, and Michael Fishman, respectively, as they navigate life in Lanford.
