‘The Conners’: Darlene Finally Meets Her Match With Jay R. Ferguson
Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers from The Conners Season 1 episode “Miracles.”
The Conners went in a new direction this week as Darlene (Sara Gilbert) landed a new job that could also lead her to a new love.
In a surprising twist on ABC’s Roseanne spinoff, the middle Conner kid ended her short-lived relationship with new boyfriend Neil (Justin Long) after realizing she has a pattern of picking men that let her boss them around. To further her point, Darlene told Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) that Neil was “devastated” over the breakup “until I told him he wasn’t.”
But now it appears that Darlene could be set for a new relationship with an unlikely suitor. In the “Miracles” episode, the single mom landed an editor job at the Lanford mugshot mag Lock ‘Em Up. But it was her unusual interview and adorable back and forth banter with new boss Ben (Jay R. Ferguson) that has fans thinking Darlene may have finally met her match.
