Who's the "major female character" that's pregnant?
EW.com's Michael Ausiello posted this blind item yesterday: "A major female character on a popular and highly rated hour-long drama series will learn that she's pregnant next month."Other tidbits: The expectant character isn't thrilled to be pregnant. The timing, both personally and professionally, is really bad. The baby daddy's going through some stuff. And the bun in her oven may have company.
Ok, let's speculate here. My first thought is that it's Meredith Grey on Grey's Anatomy, since her real-life alter-ego Ellen Pompeo actually IS pregnant. But the timing isn't all that bad. She and Derek are getting married. They can use a distraction with Izzie's cancer taking center stage. And although he's had some issues, Derek seems to have pulled it together.
My next idea is that maybe it's Cristina Yang. It would be a horrible time for her, since she's so driven to claw her way up the medical ladder at Seattle Grace. Plus, if the baby daddy is Owen Hunt, he's seriously messed up after trying to choke Cristina, and he's seeing a therapist.
Some other ideas:
Izzie Stevens, Grey's Anatomy. The timing couldn't be worse, what with her struggling with cancer. Then again, if she survives long enough to have the baby, it could take the series in a whole new direction.
Bree Hodge, Desperate Housewives. She shunned Orson's ridiculous request to shut down her business, so she's full-steam ahead there. And things really aren't all that great with Orson. She should have kicked him out long ago, but he's been playing the "I went to prison for you" card long enough.
Cuddy, House. She and House have been playing cat and mouse since the series started, and it would make for a really interesting storyline if House ended up being a dad. Heck, it might even make him seem human again.
Kate, Lost. She and Jack hooked up right before they got on Flight 316. And everyone is always messed up on that show, not to mention everything is always bad timing, no matter what.
Melinda, Ghost Whisperer. With Jim's memories merging back into Jim 2.0/Sam, a baby is a real possibility here. And because of Jim dying and his memories coming back to Sam, it's pretty messed up with Melinda, in general.
So what do you think? Any of my ideas viable? Share your own thoughts in the comments.
