In a recent episode, her character Bev went off on a trip with daughter Jackie and ended up buying a train ticket to an undisclosed location
During season 6, episode 3 of The Conners, Bev’s character, who is the mother of Jackie Harris (Laurie Metcalf) and Roseanne, who had passed away, came to a crossroads.
The Roseanne matriarch had been previously diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
On Wednesday’s episode, The Conners revealed that Bev had been fighting back against her diagnosis.
She had been part of a drug trial that seemed to help slow the dementia’s progress.
Bev made the decision to tell her only daughter Jackie that she regretted the way she had treated her.
That found the pair going on a trip to Chicago together.
Jackie felt fulfilled and happy with her mother after years of resentment, saying she had never felt that “good” before.
“You’ve never done anything wrong but try to please an unreasonable old woman,” Bev told her in response.
“Today was the best day we’ve ever had. I wanted your face to be the last one I saw before I went on my grand adventure,” she continued as she had purchased a train ticket to an undisclosed location.
“I’m not going to sit around in my apartment until I don’t know where I am,” she explained.
“That’s why I gave you this day. If I knew for sure I could remember to love you every day, I would never leave you,” Bev said in a heartrending moment.
It seemed to be the end of the road for Bev on The Conners as Jackie had to end up letting her go into the world.
Fans went to social media to share their thoughts on the scene, wondering if it was the last time they would see Bev on the series.
“Great scene between Bev and Jackie! Wonder if this will be the last time we see Bev?” one fan asked.
“Good for Bev. Enjoying life while she still can,” another wrote.
“Wow Bev,” a third commented.
“Did I just see Estelle Parsons final scene?” a fourth asked.
It’s unclear whether Bev will appear again on the show in the future.

DJ IN THE HOUSE
In other The Conners news, Michael Fishman, who stars as DJ in the series, looks completely unrecognizable after appearing in the classic ABC show Roseanne.
Roseanne originally aired between 1988 and 1997, with a brief revival in 2018, and Michael was joined by a stellar cast including Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, and Johnny Galecki.
The side-splitting series followed the working-class Conners family, who were struggling to get by on a limited household income.
Michael’s character, DJ, was the youngest of the Conners siblings – a naive and boisterous kid who constantly bickered with his older sisters.
Fast forward to the present day and, in the wake of their matriarch’s death, the Conners clan continue to face the struggles of daily life.
The 40-year-old is now all grown up and looks absolutely nothing like the adorable, freckle-faced kid viewers of a certain age will remember.
Although fans with a sharp eye will see the similarity if they look close enough and past the grey streaks in his hair – it’s all in the eyes and cheeks!
Today, Michael even has two kids of his own, Aaron and Isabelle, who he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Briner.
However, he tragically lost his teenage son Larry, who he’d been in the process of adopting from the foster care system, to an overdose in June 2020.
Shortly after the loss, the grieving star opened up about it on the Tamron Hall Show, saying: “I feel like I came to Larry maybe later than I wish I could”.

He added: “A couple years ago, I probably would have never shared this, to be honest with you.
“The really important part is that you’re brave enough to admit when you struggle and that you need help or that you aren’t strong”.
