They wrote in a non-pregnancy character plot and a temporary replacement for a main actress who got pregnant on the show Leverage, so there'd be an excuse to keep her mostly off camera for the second season. She returned to perform the same main role just fine for three more seasons after that. I didn't even know she was pregnant at all until I looked it up later. So, I feel like we're kinda past the point where pregnancy - or anything else that might happen to an actor's body that affects their role, such as breaking a limb - is some kind of Defcon One disaster worthy of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Also, I imagine if Carpenter hid her pregnancy at all, it was because she knew how Whedon would react. When you're known to be unreasonable about things, people don't tell you about those things when they happen - funny, that.

Here's a video where Charisma talks about getting fired from Angel. Thought you might be interested in it.

Thank you so much! I've never seen that before, that was awesome. Wow, Whedon gave Carpenter the shaft in more ways than one, but I'm glad she pulled through for the fans, because her final appearance made up for so much, if not everything. And it's a great example of how being a great writer, which he is, doesn't automatically make Whedon the best person, in this particularly incident, at least.

You're quite welcome! It was awesome that she was able to pull through for her fans, but I'm forever going to be miffed at Whedon for shafting her in the first place. Dude was a conplete ass.
