It was so obvious It was both bad storytelling and, as they say, a bad look Like a lot of fans inclined to take his side couldn't deny he was acting badly here because he made it impossible to ignorehttps://twitter.com/Shaker_aphra/status/1359600954514038785 …

Art baldly imitating life Charisma Carpenter pissed him off irl by getting pregnant out of nowhere and ruining his plans So the character Cordelia suddenly gets pregnant out of nowhere and ruins everything and almost destroys the world etc

I feel like "an actress getting pregnant while their character is not" is an unusual-but-not-unheard of situation for TV shows? Feels like an "It's not ideal but we can work with it" kind of situation.

The disgusting thing about this is that actresses getting pregnant is something TV shows work around ALL THE TIME Joss' petulance over this was legendary He apparently went off about how it was beneath him - "corny sitcom where she's always standing behind something"

Not to mention the historical example of Lucy & Desi incorporating real life pregnancy into the show... Back when you couldn't even say the word pregnant.

Well sure but the whole issue in this case is that his initial plans for the story didn't involve the character getting pregnant and when he "integrated" it into the show it got really ugly

Yeah I jumped in in the middle on this one, but they still proved it doesn't have to be ruinous & can actually open up plot lines that grow the characters. He basically said well I'm not gonna hide it but if I have to incorporate it I'll refuse to give it the improve "yes, and"
