Answers:
Because Alicia "Lecy" Goranson wanted to attend college in real life!. I think she went to Vassar!. They replaced her with future "Scrubs" leading lady Sarah Chalke!. Goranson came back to the show briefly during season 8 and I do recall there is a episode where Darlene asked Becky a particular question, "Where the heck have you been!?," and I believe it refers to Goranson as the old Becky when she returned!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
"During the show's fifth season actress Lecy Goranson left to attend Vassar College!. At first, her character Becky was merely absent from the show, explained in the story when she marries and moves away to live with her husband Mark!. During the sixth season, however, the show's producers recast Becky with actress Sarah Chalke!. This change is addressed in the show which becomes a running gag for the remainder of the series as both Goranson and Chalke continue to alternate in the role of Becky, depending on Goranson's availability!.Because cast and crew believed that the eighth season of Roseanne would be its last, Goranson had signed back on only for that season!. When the show was renewed for a ninth season, Chalke replaced Goranson full-time!."Www@Enter-QA@Com
