Where Has David Healy Been? Johnny Galecki Sheds Light On Darlene's Ex In 'Roseanne' Reboot
Hey there, fans of Roseanne! If you've been scratching your head wondering where Darlene Conner's husband, David Healy, has been during the show's reboot, well, you're not alone. Johnny Galecki, the talented actor who plays David, made a triumphant return to the series on Tuesday, April 17, and trust me, it was packed with revelations. This episode was a game-changer, giving us all the answers we've been craving.
David Healy's Surprise Return: A Family Reunion
Let's dive into the juicy details. Darlene, played by the incredible Sara Gilbert, and David might not be together anymore in the rebooted storyline, but they're still parents to two amazing kids — a teenage daughter named Harris Conner-Healy and a 10-year-old son named Mark Conner-Healy. The episode everyone was eagerly anticipating showcased the emotional reunion between Darlene and David when he showed up unexpectedly at Harris's birthday party. It was a long-overdue moment, as David had been absent from his family's life for years.
Unveiling the Truth: Why Did They Split?
During David's visit, we got some serious insight into why the couple parted ways in the first place. You see, David's decision to leave Darlene wasn't just about seeking a fresh start. It was deeply tied to his late brother, Mark, portrayed by the late Glenn Quinn. David confessed, "When I left you and the kids, I convinced myself it was okay because I was helping others by building homes for the less fortunate in other countries. But the truth? I left because my brother died, and I was completely overwhelmed by all the responsibilities. I just ran. And while I was away, I felt ashamed."

The Awkward Reunion: Kisses and Conversations
The night before this heartfelt confession, David and Darlene shared an awkward kiss, followed by an even more awkward conversation. During their initial interaction, David mentioned that he had met someone else. However, Darlene wasn't entirely sure about her feelings. She admitted, "I've heard it before, David. You miss me, you want to get back together, but as soon as things get real, you run back to your charity work. Not this time." To which David responded confidently, "Not this time."
David went on to express that he realized it wasn't too late to fix things, so he's moving back to Lanford. But here's the twist — not necessarily to be with Darlene. Heartbreakingly, he revealed that he's learned a lot from a new woman named Blue. You could see the sadness in Darlene's eyes when she heard this news.

Despite the revelation about Blue, David and Darlene decided they would attempt to work things out. But here's the kicker — Johnny Galecki mentioned in a recent interview that he only appeared in one episode of the Roseanne reboot. However, now that the show has been renewed for an 11th season, Johnny, who's only 42, would love to return for more scenes. He told Variety, "If they come back next year for another eight or nine episodes, I would love to do more than one next year." So, fingers crossed for more David and Darlene drama!
Returning to the 'Roseanne' Family: An Emotional Experience
Johnny also shared that reuniting with the Roseanne cast was an incredibly emotional experience, akin to a fun high-school reunion. He said, "It was just one of the best weeks of my life. It was very, very emotional. It was kind of like what I would imagine going to your 20-year high school reunion was, but all the people are still your heroes." We couldn't agree more, Johnny, and we're rooting for David to make more appearances in Season 11!
