She Does Not Want Her Role Recast

March 14, 2018 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] This pretty actress was cast as one of the leads in a new TV series. She was very excited to book the gig.

There’s a problem.

After she got the job… she found out that she’s pregnant!

She hasn’t told the production company yet. She really wants the role (it’s a lead!) and doesn’t want them to recast. She is thinking of maybe approaching it as a joke to test them out to see if it would even be possible to write it in. If not, she has a tough decision to make.

Given what we know of the show’s premise, we can’t see her character carrying around a giant coffee mug or a laundry basket around to try to hide her bump.

    Sarah Drew (April Kepner from Grey’s Anatomy).
    She’s just been cast a Cagney in the Cagney & Lacey reboot.

    She does not have a tough decision to make. She’s pregnant. They can work around it. Who the heck in this day and age is going to fire a pregnant woman?

    Sarah Drew
    Cagney & Lacey
    Clue: The woman in the picture is a happy doctor (wearing a white lab coat) just like her character April on Grey’s anatomy.
    Options. Tell them and shoot episodes before you start showing. The first season will not be a full order probably.

    JJ s2 came out about a week ago, s3 not confirmed yet.
    This also sounds like a new project, not one that’s been around for a couple years (two seasons here, one on Defenders.)

    Probably Sarah Drew.

    it’s a physical role, I understand that it would be difficult for her to shoot whilst pregnant, but it would be crappy to fire her for being pregnant and worse to coerce her into an abortion. They should just be creative or hire a stunt double. Julia Louis Dreyfus was pregnant during Seinfeld and they made it work!

    I don’t know but I think all the people who think in 2018 after the whole Hollywood scandals and metoo thing that anyone is going to be forced to have an abortion for a role is crazy. I think she can do what she wants and no one is going to be able to fire a pregnant woman or force her to have an abortion for a job.

      I don’t see where you read anything about her being forced to have an abortion. The blind says SHE will have a tough decision to make. How is that force? Am I reading it wrong? Anyway, am guessing Sarah Drew also.

    Sarah Drew for the Cagney & Lacey reboot?

    She was pregnant twice on Grey’s – for her first kid, they didn’t write in her pregnancy, so she probably was hiding her stomach behind coffee mugs and laundry.

    In terms of options, I guess they could recast, or it might be an intriguing take from the original to have a pregnant Cagney – I mean women do get pregnant, even women detectives – but I suspect they’ll recast if she decides to keep the baby.

    Actress: Sarah Drew (the woman is wearing a white coat, a nod to her role on Grey’s Anatomy)

    TV Series: Cagney and Lacey

    Maybe either Janel Parrish or Sasha Pieterse? They have been cast in “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists.” Clues are “pretty” and “book the gig,” as it’s based on a book. It has just started filming, I think?

    Rashida Jones?

    Sarah Drew in Cagney and Lacey reboot. Hopefully they can do something to accommodate her expanding waistline. Women carry the babies, if we could take turns with the guys we would. Nature doesn’t work that way. But what choice does she have if they don’t want her now, she would have to let it go to someone else. I’m sure its a very physical part, chasing after bad guys, not something you want to do in 3rd trimester.

      I think you’re right. In the commercial, she’s carrying a laundry basket

    • tellmemore says

      But I don’t think it would be a problem for her character to “carry around a Large coffe mug or laundry basket.” This might be the Cagney & Lacey reboot (cop show).

    Sarah Drew? She just got cast on the Cagney & Lacey reboot after getting written out of Grey’s. The girl in the picture looks like she’s wearing a white lab coat?

    No idea who the actress is but that is a tough spot.

    Her options: Abort, or step away from the role.
    Producers options: recast the role, or have the pregnancy written in as part of the show.

      What if she really wants that baby? What if she had difficulty getting pregnant?

      I say cover up or step away. If she’s still young enough, there’ll be other opportunities.

    • delray74 says

      March 15, 2018 at 12:41 pm

      Abort, huh. I’m sure glad you’re not my lady.

    • NYCBunny says

      March 15, 2018 at 10:05 pm

      Abortion *is* an option whether you like it or not.

    • gingersnaps says

      March 15, 2018 at 9:34 pm

      Why should she do that? The producers can work around the baby bump.

    Jenna Fischer…write it in or cover it up. It’s worked over and over and no one cares if shes pregnant but her character isnt

      You know how soap operas just announce cast changes: the part of (character) will now be played by (actor)? TV shows should just announce that (actor) is pregnant, but we’re going to pretend she’s not. Problem solved ??
