When Lecy returned v When Sarah returned


Lecy as Becky was awesome whether you loved her or loved to hate her.

Sarah as Becky was nails on a chalk board awful.

When Lecy returns, however, it's like she's forgotten how to act. She's just there like a paperweight. She doesn't seem like the original Becky. She doesn't seem like Sarah's Becky. She's just this stand in everyone keeps calling Becky.

Oddly enough, by the time Sarah comes back to play Becky for the rest of the series, it's almost a welcome return because at least it feels familiar.

Lecy totally got out of the rhythm of acting or something. Something was off, IMO. Sarah jumps right back into her version of Becky. In this instance, I feel like Sarah deserves more accolades than Lecy. At least Sarah remembered where she left off.

And I say this as someone who's #TeamLecy. Lecy had the better Becky, but Sarah made the smoother return.

They changed Becky so much when Sarah took over. She was a totally different character. It was jarring when Lecy left and Sarah took over because the character was so different. When Lecy returned it seemed like they were writing Becky how she was originally written but Lecy was portraying her more like Sarah did. So Sarah's return was a bit more seamless in the end.
