TVLine –
‘Tis the season when producers begin villainously twirling mustaches as they concoct season-ending cliffhangers that they hope will torture us all summer long. And the execs at one show — an hourlong drama, and a popular one at that! — have come up with a doozie.
According to an insider, the series in question will end its season by revealing that one of its major female characters is pregnant! The news will catch everyone by surprise, no one more so than the mommy and daddy-to-be, who weren’t exactly trying to have a child. The baby boom will also come as a shock for another reason, but to give that away would narrow the field of candidates too much.
However, I’ll leave you with one clue: Unlike Gossip Girl‘s climactic reveal that Georgina was pregnant in its May 2010 season finale, in this case there will be no mystery about the identity of the father.

Probably a Shonda Rhimes show, Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, or Off The Map
Bailey on Grey’s Anatomy was my 1st thought. Just last week she had “nap time” with one of the interns. That said, Sam’s ex-wife on Private Practice looks like she’s coming back into the picture as a rival to Addison. Geez…what’s happened in Hollywood? Seems like Betty White is the only one not sporting a baby bump (oooh, there’s SNL skit good for a laugh) and now the production companies are incorporating pregnancy into the shows too.
The actress playing Sam’s ex-wife is actually leaving the show. I imagine they’ll have her character move to NYC with Mya to look after the kid while she goes to school. Or something like that…
I agree. I think it’s Christina and Owen on Grey’s.
I agree with this.
I bet it’s Castle for the television show!
I want to say fringe. Olivia is pregnant but Peter doesn’t know yet. I don’t think
I mean alternate Olivia
yes, this.
I hope detective Stabler aka christopher meloni is ths dad, its about time.lol
I say Fringe too. Fauxlivia is already pregnant, and we’ll find out that Olivia is also pregnant.
It seems to me Olivia has to be pregnant in order for Faux-livia’s baby to have a twin in this universe. Right?
That already happened a couple weeks ago. I mean it’s sorta a lame cliffhanger if half the universes and the audience already know?
Californication?
It says an hour long drama,isn’t that show half an hour.
law an order svu
Mariska Hargitay aka olivia, i hope it’s her partners. Love that show
Vampire Diaries? A lil’ vampire baby could be a shocker!
This would be such a rip-off of Twilight movie #4… but considering S Meyere ripped off the Vampire Diaries books, wouldn’t be shocking.
Det. Olivia Benson on L&O SVU
yea, i’m guessing the baby could be her partner.
arrr, I know it’s a typo, but I just had the WORST mental image of Stabler crowning.
lol
How about Lexie on Grey’s anatomy?
That would really be a surprise since Mark is already expecting a baby with Callie.
Or Christina, since she’s so adamant about not having kids. And that would really irk Meredith, I’m sure.
love the lexie/mark guess!
This was my first thought as well!
I love that guess too – esp since Mark is the father of Callie’s baby.
I am thinking Cuddy on House. As of last week she dumped him, it would be quite a surprise if she were to end up preggers!!!
That was my thought, too. Especially since it was such a big storyline a few seasons ago that she couldn’t have a baby.
Totally.
my first thought as well!
my first thought, too!
Also my first thought but I *desperately* hope we are all wrong.
How old is she supposed to be? I’d have said 45. Maybe pushing on a bit for a baby. Hope not anyway. Their whole storyline has made me switch off.
agreed
I think so. Ugh.
Dude, thanks for the spoiler. I hadn’t watched it yet.
I’m with the House guess.
Also, for those of you saying Fringe? Too easy.
And it can’t be Bones because Angela is already preggo.
I’m thinking The Good Wife, Alicia, reference to narrowing the field of candidates and the assumed daddy to be is of course a candidate. Other choice is Thirteen from House but I just don’t see it other than explaining her absence this season.

Welcome, Cindy! Love, BG
i was thinking good wife too bc its so outta left field
God I really hope not. Also I think it’s unlikely because that would make it very difficult to continue the Will love triangle.
I totally thought Good Wife, but I don’t care if the triangle fades. I still love Chris Noth from Sex and the City. The more I see of him on the show, the better
First time poster!
I totally agree it’s “The Good Wife”.. The BI mentions “candidates” and “popular, hour-long” drama.. plus there won’t be a question of who the father is (will).
Welcome, Ech! Love, BG
What about Diane?? Reference to baby boom…she’s older…and that would be totally unexpected.
All right, just to be different I’m gonna say Bones. Booth broke up with Hannah because she didn’t want to get married and she will find out she’s pregnant and tell Booth. Shock because they broke up because she doesn’t want to settle down and she wants Booth to raise the baby.
I have no idea, really.
I think that the show is Private Practice. And it is Naomi and Sam who are going to have the baby together. The shock is that Sam is supposed to be with Addison, duh.
Naomi (Audra McDonald) is leaving the show at the end of the season.
Hi! This is my 1st post.. I don’t think it is Naomi on private practice. I read some where she is leaving the show. I hope it’s house!t
Hi Jewel! Love, BG
Last week, the lead human chickadee in “V” (the blonde actress who was also in “Lost) hooked up with a resistance fighter with whom she didn’t get along. Maybe she’s going to end up pregnant and something will happen to her baby because of the alien visitors, which would make the “baby boom” a “shock for another reason” but saying that outright would be too much of a giveaway . . .
Sorry my answer’s so vague. I don’t actually watch “V” and just caught about 10 minutes of it when I was flipping channels one night.
Parenthood?
Crosby slept with Gaby but he is engaged/already has a kid with Jasmine.
i like this guess
1st time poster, long time lurker. I think it’s Tru Blood. Anna Paquin is always in white tops… Tanks tops are basically the uniform for Bon Temps. The green grass in the background reminds me of their setting.
Also one of the characters to be pregos would be huge…I think it’s Sookie but with who & don’t think I can guess.
Welcome, Nice! Love, BG
^^ True Blood has already ended for the season. I am for Desperate Housewives. But who’d be pregnant on that, that would shock anyone?
Season 4 coming out this summer….
Shocking because they are all so old now.
Can’t be True Blood. Vamps in the Charlaine Harris world (which I think Alan Ball is mostly sticking with) can’t get pregnant nor can they get humans pregnant. Plus it would be such a departure of the books. Also, there would be a question of who is the father because Eric & Sookie are going to get down this season.
For something different, Charlotte and Cooper or rapist from Private Practice.
or maybe Gossip Girl, now that would be a shocker if jenny showed up in the season finale pregnant!!!
I think Addison (Private Practice). It is shocking because she is practically infertile.
KaraLynn on Big Love? Except it is a series finale…
First time poster, my guess is Glee with Will and his ex wife. She faked a pregnancy last year so it would be quite unexpected.
Hey Bee! Love, BG
Glee’s not a drama.
makes me think of cuddy and house too….
Yes, this totally sounds like the Good Wife.
I think it’s either House or The Good Wife.
I think it’s going to be House and Cuddy… there was another blind a while back (also from TVLine!)about a major character who is married and no one knows it (http://blindgossip.com/?p=25772). Maybe Cuddy finds out she is pregnant, tries to marry House and then finds out he’s already married to someone else?
It’s Wilson from House. We’re going to discover he is actually a pre-operative female to male transsexual who has been living as a man. While he prefers women he does have a BF on the side who has a fetish for people like him. House will be very upset that Wilson had not shared this with him.
Ha!
haha. that’s great.
By using the words ‘field of candidates’ and ‘in this case there will be no mystery’ it sounds like House, and I would have thought Cameron. But she’s long gone and apparently is never coming back (unless for the finale, whenever that will be). So – NOT House.
My guess – Cristina on Greys Anatomy. Who better, lol?
Blair and Dan FTW! OMG that woulde be…!
I agree with the Christina and Owen on Grey’s guesses. Would be shocking because I think Christina isnt supposed to be able to have kids after her miscarriage with Burke (if I’m remembering correctly). Additionally, it would complicate things between her and Meredith, who is trying.
Oh, I’m pretty sure that Christina IS able to get pregnant again, after her miscarriage with Burke. Miscarriages happen much more frequently than anyone knows, especially early ones. Weeping, rending of garments, being seen as a fragile wounded thing, and tragic attempts at overcoming ‘infertility’ are the hallmarks of TV and movie soap opera following a miscarriage. (apologies to anyone who has had a RL miscarriage, I am referring to the standard LaLaLand way of dealing).
Oh I know it Conchata Ferrell and Charlie is the daddy!
Fishsticks and Mr Shue on Glee. Just because it would be so cool.
House!
