Seth Green Joins The Conners: New Star Sparks Drama for Darlene and Ben

by

It’s worth noting that as good things often do, The Conners TV series is scheduled to conclude in 2025, given the family’s substantial impact on pop culture. However, this doesn’t imply that the showrunner Bruce Helford and his team are planning a happily ever after ending for the characters. In fact, the recent casting announcement seems to hint at potential drama brewing within at least one Lanford household.

As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve learned some exciting news! Zoe Perry, who plays young Sheldon Cooper in the show “Young Sheldon”, is set to join “The Conners” for a multi-episode arc alongside her real-life mom, Laurie Metcalf. Now, here’s another piece of intriguing news: Seth Green, known for his work on “Robot Chicken”, will be gracing the screen of “The Conners” in a recurring role!

However, before you start guessing if his character will bond with Jay R. Ferguson’s Ben over Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy merchandise (where Seth Green lent his voice to Howard the Duck), let me clarify who he’ll be portraying.

In Deadline’s account, the initial warning sign is that Seth Green will portray a character named Chad on The Conners. This could potentially cause trouble when he forms a friendship with Darlene at the Lobo, although it’s also possible that he’s just there for the ambiance or something similar.

However, here’s an interesting twist: Chad is going through a legal separation from his spouse, possibly why he’s spending more time at the bar. He and Darlene bond over their shared dark humor and start to share confidences with each other. It seems their friendship could be developing quickly, but it might raise eyebrows among those who might not appreciate Darlene’s wit.

While the description doesn’t explicitly label Ben as a jealous guy, it’s not hard to imagine him that way. It becomes even more plausible when you envision Ferguson, who is tall and stocky, standing next to Green, who is shorter and leaner. Given Ben’s physical prowess, it wouldn’t be surprising if he could easily overpower Chad.

If there’s just one episode featuring Seth Green as Chad, all my talk might be pointless, but luckily, he’ll appear in half of the final season’s episodes. That’s three out of six episodes, accessible through a Hulu subscription. Even though it’s not the whole series, it’s still enough time to develop a substantial character arc. So we’ll see! Let’s hope Chad doesn’t interfere with Becky and Tyler’s happy relationship, though.

Ever since I’ve been rooting for some tension between Darlene and Ben, secretly hoping to see them engage in an actual wrestling match with each other, I can hardly contain my excitement to witness how the likeable and charismatic Green character will be incorporated into this storyline. To be honest, I don’t foresee a genuine conflict arising between Darlene and Ben due to this situation, and I’m not even keen on it happening, but I do appreciate a little drama to keep things interesting.

Anticipated elements for fans as the new season kicks off, leave one pondering if Darlene’s joyful moments could lead to an encounter with Chad.

Darlene rejoices over her new job advancement, anticipating increased chances to be with Ben. At the same time, Jackie discovers a chance to take legal action against the drug firm that led to Roseanne’s dependency, igniting a heated argument within the family.

I don’t think it’s likely that Chad will bring about any lasting changes to married couples in “The Conners,” but I’ll definitely be on the edge of my seat, ready to witness the uncomfortable scenarios he might create. Emma Kenney hinted that the series finale leaves some unanswered questions for the future, so perhaps we can anticipate a spin-off focusing on Chad in the days to come? [Hints of Roseanne Conner’s iconic laughter.]

Don’t forget to catch the finale season of “The Conners” on ABC, starting from Wednesday, March 26, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. It’s a six-episode celebration that you won’t want to miss!
