Baby on board
USA Today ran an article on pregnant TV stars and how the writers handle their pregnancies. It’s very interesting. I’ve always wondered why we have no problem watching straight people play gay characters and vice versa and total jerks play good guys, etc. but if a woman is really pregnant she has to be on the show. Or it has to be convincingly covered up. Remember the lengths they went to for Claire on the Cosby Show? They raised the kitchen counters up to cover her. I know the actress Marcia Cross is pregnant, is it not plausible for me to watch her in a scene not behind a grocery bag and get confused and think BREE is pregnant? Anyway, the article talks about Sookie and how Gilmore Girls had to undo an earlier plot point to accomodate Melissa McCarthy’s real life pregnancy. Read more here.
