Whenever The Conners welcomes new characters into the dysfunctional fold, it usually means some form of bad news for the titular family, whether it's local business owners turning Darlene down for work or old classmates returning to reignite past rivalries. That pattern rang similarly true when The View's Whoopi Goldberg traded off morning chats for sitcom spats for a recent guest spot, where she played Mark's music teacher who also had personal history with Jackie. Thankfully, that discomfort didn't bleed over behind the scenes, as Lecy Goranson told CinemaBlend the EGOT comedienne was an absolute delight on the set. while also sharing what kinds of guest stars she'd love to see stopping by the ABC show.
Whoopi Goldberg appeared in Episode 517, "The Contra Hearings and the Midnight Gambler," taking on the role of Mrs. Glen. And while she wasn't a big barrel of smiling laughter the whole time, given her non-ideal relationship with the fam, she did get to dish out some signature Whoopi snark by way of Mrs. Glen ripping on the Conners' sliding scale of domestic class. She apparently dropped the character's aloofness when the cameras stopped rolling, though, as Lecy Goranson shared just how pleased she was to have the Star Trek vet as a guest star.
