There are likely others, but this is from Whedonesque
http://whedonesque.com/

"Congratulations to Amy Acker. She revealed at the Metro Autographs
signing on August 21st that she's five and a half months pregnant with a
boy."

She apparently told store staff and several of the people in the
autograph/picture lines. General consensus seems to be that she isn't
showing at all.

For her? Yes, it is cool news, and if true (source?), I wish her
well. But for those of us hoping for a Spike and Illyria movie or
spinoff, not such cool news.

Wow, you don't hear any news about an actress for months and then
two news stories pop-up at once. Apparently she's going to be
supplying the guest voice of the Huntress on Cartoon Network's
Justice League.

there's a possible storyline here: Illyeria gets pregnant and gives
birth to herself, thereby making room within Fred's body for Willow to
locate and re-soul her into her own body. They could film around Amy's
"condition".

Hmmm. I'm trying to picture a tubby little Illyria here. Not sure
about that. CC in her black jet was spectacular, but the Keebler?
Not the same thing.

As to the timeline, if AA is 5 1/2 months along, that means 3 1/2
months until she gives birth, then add at least 2 months for her to
get back in shape (that costume is unforgiving) before she can even
start shooting. That means no TV movie for at least half a year.

It's risky to do things like that. Producers have tended to shy away
from it after Katey Sagal's pregnancy was written into Married With
Children.

Would have been interesting to see how Whedon and Co would have
written this into the storyline. A pregnant Illeryia possibly shifting
into a pregnant Fred. Wonder who the father might have been? There
might have been some fast re-writing going on? It's sort of fun to
guess how they would have written this in-the sixth season.

Hadn't they gone this route before with another character? Maybe I'm
just imaging something.

Hmm. Considering that she's five and a half months along, she may have
been expecting right near the end of the season.

that is so totally uncalled for

Amy is a very nice person (I know this for fact having met her and
talked to her at length). It is disgustingly rude that folks can't show
her a bit of respect and insist on calling her names and dissing her
for being lucky enough to have a thin body without having to starve
herself half to death.

I think she appears to be very sweet and it's obvious she's very
beautiful and healthy. My knitting-needle comment was a JOKE,
incidentally, and I do happen to think she's a big enough girl to take a
little ribbing. I think people calling her anorexic are all utterly full
of crap.

What's uncalled for? This is show based reference, one of Spike's
names for Illyria and her tree origin, and in no way a reference to AA
as a person...unless she actually is blue and lives in a tree.

I dunno, as an ex-skinny person who was very sensitive to remarks people would
make about my being so thin, I think the ribbing on this thread has been good
natured. The marshmallow on a toothpick thing was cute. He wasn't saying mean
stuff like skinny women aren't real women, etc.

I hope my joke wasn't offensive. I think Acker is beautiful and I believe I've
always said so.

About writing the needling into the show, and not doing it if the
actress really had a problem with it: it ain't necessarily so! At the
other end of the weight issue, Tracey Gold of "Growing Pains" blames
her well-publicized bout with anorexia back in the early 90s directly
on the number of fat jokes that were written in for her character
Carol. (Personally, I never thought she looked too overweight at the
time the jokes were going on.)

That actress didn't have a real life miscarriage halfway through the
story line. Katey Sagal did.

hell in some ways, that idea is Jasmine all over again.

if you go with the idea that some ancient demoness/goddess took over
Cordy's body to force the conception of a human baby that she could
jump into, thus giving herself the corporal form she needed to work her
wicked plan

so you wouldn't watch a show about vampires, etc. because its been done
before? how about a story about cops in NYC, or cops in LA, or lawyers
(anywhere)? aside from amish in the city, what was the last truly new

Never mind Connor II. I'm trying to visualize Spike pregnant. Now

np; i didn't take offense - emotions don't translate well, either. mis-

compensate by using "black and white" phrasing, which I've never
mastered.
