Mary Lynn Rajskub Pregnant.

I know this news is a little old by now but i thought id post it in case you havent heard Wink

One of the most out-of-nowhere random moments of 24's sixth season was when Chloe O'Brian revealed that she was pregnant. In a case of life imitating art, Mary Lynn Rajskub, who plays Chloe O'Brian, announced today that she is pregnant. It will be the first child for the 36-year-old actress and comedienne. The father is Matthew Rolph, 27, a personal trainer and Rajskub's live-in boyfriend. The child is due at the end of the summer.

This news may strike some fear in the hearts of 24 fans who are still hoping for a resolution to the writers' strike to happen soon enough that it might enable 24 to finish production on season 7 this Spring/Summer. Since season 7 is said to take place three years after the events of season 6, Chloe isn't going to still be pregnant. Normally, the writers for 24 may write-in another pregnancy for Chloe into the plot, but they've already shot about seven episodes of season 7 without Chloe being pregnant. Also, if Rajskub is indeed pregnant when shooting starts up again, her mobility may be an issue. I foresee Chloe being more on the move in season 7. The plot of 24's seventh season most likely involves Jack Bauer being a fugitive, or working covertly in direct opposition of the government. This being the case, and knowing Chloe's loyalties to Jack, it'd make sense that Chloe would be more on the move this season.

But, that's all assuming that 24 starts shooting the remainder of season 7 sometime in the next six months, which is far from a given. The writers' strike looks like it's winding down, but we don't know that for sure. It could extend for a few more months, for all we know. Once the strike ends, 24 is going to be put in a weird spot. How do they want to proceed? Should they take their time with the scripts and start filming again in the fall and get the season ready to air in January 2009?

How long ago was this?

They might have to cut down her role in the season, which would be a shame.

They will probably just have her sitting at her desk through most of it, thats normally what she does anyway.

Yeah, they can't really hide something like that, unless they make her really pregnant right from the start... for some reason...

Considering how long it takes place after 6 it would have to be a new baby which i doubt they'd do. Maybe they'll blame it on her getting fat after having the baby Razz

I think it would make sense that she has a second baby.

A second? Hmm. The first was kinda an accident, wasn't it?

Do we even know who's the father? Maybe that could be a plot twist later in 7.

Buchannan eh? Hmm... it could happen. Wasn't Bill going out with Michelle in between S3 or something?

No way, taken right off 24 wiki:

That just means they were unable to connect. Just like how Milo and Chloe never had a spark while they were dating. It doesn't mean they didn't try.
