Last night's candid 'Roseanne' was a heartbreaker: The 4th episode of the revived franchise tackled the real-life death of Glenn Quinn, who played Becky's husband in the original series and died at age 32 of a heroin overdose.
But that wasn't the only tear-jerking subject matter. We also learned that Becky may be infertile -- not only unable to play surrogate for Andrea but possibly not able to ever have children of her own. Twitter reacted with lots of feels:
What a touching episode tonight funny at times and sad for Becky too also a touching tribute to Glenn Quinn was very touching. #Roseanne @therealroseanne loving armani so cute!

Me realizing Becky’s tears were real talking about losing Mark because the episode was dedicated to Glenn Quinn who played Mark who passed #Roseanne pic.twitter.com/mPBgoM2LfO

#Roseanne #lecygoranson omg hearing the news yesterday left me so sad for Becky. I’m 41 so that makes me relate that I probably won’t have anymore children myself and getting older is scary. I know only a fictional show but I wanted this for Becky

This episode got me in the feels, between Becky's confession about trying to have kids with Mark, to the dedication to Glenn Quinn at the end. #roseanne

Last night's #Roseanne gave me some feels — especially when Darlene teared up over this exchange. https://t.co/d2tbNA5o8r pic.twitter.com/PVFtXQtAvJ

Glenn and family are frequently on my mind. We put his picture in the hallway we pass each day.

After my #Roseanne press tour today drove down and visited him.
As long as @RoseanneOnABC is on Glenn Quinn is part of it.
I'll always honor him and the Quinn family in my work pic.twitter.com/0JgsB2L1Fe
The saddest episode of the #Roseanne reboot so far was also its best—and, perhaps more importantly, the closest to evoking the spirit of the original series https://t.co/03gBoK32dN

My heart broke for Becky. Hopefully we hear more about what happened to Mark AND David soon. #Roseanne #Fishy

It is sad that Becky cannot have kids. Also, I liked the moment for Mark at the end ❤ #Roseanne

Just watched Season 10 ep. 4 of #Roseanne . Definitely my favorite episode so far. I love seeing the relationship between Darlene & Becky -- always picking on each other, but there's so much love too.
