Wow Darlene does look way older than Becky

Darlene looks like shes in her late 40's and Becky as said in the episode does look around 33 or so years old. I do appreciate that they brought it up and joked about it.

Lecy still looks really good i gotta say, she has aged wonderfully, she looks pretty hot.

Sara Gilbert looks so different though, very thin, different voice, honestly she reminds me of someone who done alot of drugs early in life, i know she didn't but her appearance just gives me that vibe the way she looks alot older than she is and how thin and frail she looks.

I agree, and I know that she’s sounded different for years and I’m wondering if she had a nose surgery or something that would change it. It still sounds nasal like but more like someone raspy barely getting their voice out instead of deep monotone

Sara Gilbert's careworn and washed up appearance fit her updated character situation perfectly. Great acting, one of the best still working.

Surprised by how thin Sara Gilbert is, which I wonder if it contributes also to the aged appearance in her face.
I wouldn't say Lecy looks as young as early-30s, but she does look very similar to her original Roseanne days.

Sara has never been a raving beauty. In my opinion, she just has an old face.

Some people have an old face at 15. 😳

Sara, it's called a comb.

Maybe a lot of people don't watch daytime TV but she's the only one who has been on TV 5 days a week since maybe 2010 (which is also when she came out, I believe) on The Talk as a regular host.
I watch very rarely as I don't care for that show but she's been looking like that for years now.

Her acting seems wooden to me. She used to have great comebacks and was quite natural in her acting as a kid but it's early. Maybe she just needs time to get back into character. It could also be that her character "grew up" so she seems bland.
Becky is Becky though.

Its weird Darlene even looks older than Jackie, she without a doubt has aged the worst out of the entire cast, Becky still looks good, DJ looks good, even Roseanne looks really good, Jackie is older but she still looks kinda close to how she looked in the final season.

God i can only imagine how old Sara's gonna look when shes in her 70's if she looks this old now.

[–] NormaAndNorman (3900) 7 years ago

Darlene looks older than Jackie? I think that's a bit of a stretch.

Everyone seems to forget that Roseanne has had a bunch of surgeries including gastric bypass surgery some 20 years ago.

Jackie has just naturally aged.

I thought the whole cast looked pretty good for their ages. They seem to have aged naturally. Of course Roseanne has had a lot of plastic surgery which she never kept hidden.

One thing I noticed, Lecy Goranson's voice sounds so deep and husky. Did she become a heavy smoker? She looks good, but sounds kinda raspy.

[–] NormaAndNorman (3900) 7 years ago

Maybe I watch too much TV 😜 but I think their "aging" has got more attention than it should. It's not like Roseanne, Dan, Jackie, Sara and David haven't been on TV the past 20 years!

[–] Mister Babadook (2704) 7 years ago

Lecy had a deepish sounding voice in the later seasons of Roseanne, i noticed in the episode where she first came back after Sarah Chalk left in the baby shower episode her voice had kinda changed and got lower. I think the last time her voice didn't sound deep like that was after she left the show and she and Mark moved away.

I Think you have not to do. They all are between there late 40's to 70's, what are they suppose to look like? Darlene is natural for her age. How did you age? Also being a actress or actor, i imagine is very stressful. Lay off Sara..

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

her acting seems fine to me.

Lecy could pass as early 30s as she looks 30 something, but then I've seen photos where I say "hmmm, nearly 40?"

I'm 37 year old guy and like her, had a 'young' look most my adult life, but some look at me and guess my age and others guess way off. In the past month I've had 22 twice and mid 30s. It's just how tired looking I am I think. We can work it when we want ;)
