Members Mr. Vixen Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 Just recently Marcy Rylan was pregnant IRL but not on the show. They always had her carrying this RIDICULOUSLY big purse or sitting down. Sometimes they didn't even try to hide it and it had me LMAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 When Jennifer Gareis was pregnant on B&B last year, they found a creative way to deal with it. Her character, Donna just got fat! Donna had just gotten a divorce and ate to deal with it. Pam would make fun of her putting on pounds and would tease her with her lemnon bars. No need to hide the pregnancy when you acknowledge onscreen that the character is getting chunkier by the week....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 Actually, I think GL did write in her pregnancy, since Quint and Nola's son, Anthony, was played by her real-life son as a newborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 Some soap fans just take it too damn far, you know? Erica left town to try her luck in Hollywood. Unfortunately, when she returned to Pine Valley, they explained how she'd ended up at a fat farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 I wish they had written it in just to see Tom and Margo deal with a mid-life pregnancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 That's why she was devastated when Frank and Doris Hursley decided a few years later to kill off Jo's son, Duncan Eric, since he was created specifically to incorporate her RL pregnancy into SEARCH.

Members dragonflies Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 Alicia Minshew was pregnant in real life in 2009, AMC didn't write it in, but you could totally tell in most scenes that AM was prego, the show did nothing to hide it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 Wasn't Kendall hiding in the secret room at her house while a look-alike was in prison for her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hunter Tylo was indeed pregnant in real life when Taylor gave birth to Thomas, I believe that was the baby who developed eye cancer after shortly after birth there in early 1998. The other daughter of the Melrose Place scandal was born in late 1996 if I recall right GL--Crystal Chappell's pregnancy in 2003 was written into the show. Her maternity leave was explained by saying Olivia fled town after Lizzie was terrorizing her (remember that awful Crystal Hunt ripping off the baby doll's head and talking to it?) and tried to cause a miscarriage by causing Olivia to fall down the Beacon hotel lobby staircase by tearing up the carpet to cause Olivia to trip. Of course when she came back she told everyone that Emma was dead when in fact she had Emma hiding with her brother. In fact I remember an interview Bregman gave several years ago saying that the show ended up writing the miscarriage in for Lauren as well, which of course played out in May 1990. It sounded and must have been very surreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ClassicSoapsFan Posted December 12, 2011 Members Share Posted December 12, 2011 Passions' Lindsay Hartley was pregnant with daughter Isabella Justice around the time her character Theresa was pregnant with Ethan's baby, Sarah, which she miscarried after a fight with Gwen. Rather than writing her off the show in 2004 as she was in a pivotal story at the time, she was replaced with Priscilla Garita (Gabi, Sunset Beach.) In an interesting move, her husband Justin (Fox) was put on paternal leave the same time as Lindsay. He was recast with Nick Stabile (also of Sunset Beach.) I actually might be wrong about the storyline. She was pregnant with Jane (originally called Ashley) at some point but i am not sure if it was before or after the Hartley's were on maternity leave.

Members ClassicSoapsFan Posted December 12, 2011 Members Share Posted December 12, 2011 Is it anything like Pale Force when Conan O' Brien gets put into a coma when a beach ball bounced off his head? I missed the Clear Springs storyline but heard a lot of boring and bizarre crap happened during it (including CBS implementing a special storyline only opening credits...the heck?)

Members YRBB Posted December 12, 2011 Members Share Posted December 12, 2011 I thought it was established it was a croissant. Or maybe that's how I dealt with that particular plot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ClassicSoapsFan Posted December 12, 2011 Members Share Posted December 12, 2011 Also on Passions, Liza Huber (daughter of Susan Lucci) was pregnant with her first child in 2006. I believe this was during the Vendetta storyline in Rome, which simply had Gwen not featured as much and when she was, the pregnancy was covered up. Huber was pregnant with her second child around the time the show was ending on DirecTV so it wasn't written in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
