The episode which introduced Keiko's pregnancy had its first draft written in early December 1995, and Nana Visitor's child was born in mid-September 1996 – looking at the timing, it's probably coincidence that they'd already started the "Keiko is pregnant again" subplot when Visitor actually became pregnant.


** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': Creator/NanaVisitor (Major Kira) got pregnant with the child of co-star Creator/AlexanderSiddig (Dr. Bashir). To cover, the writers started a plotline about Keiko O'Brien's pregnancy, then created a shuttle accident that forced Bashir to transplant Keiko's baby into Kira's uterus. There was even a bit of LampshadeHanging on the subject -- in a later episode, an irate Kira tells Bashir that her situation is his fault.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Creator/JamesMarsters has a scar on his left eyebrow from a mugging. This was written into canon, with his character Spike getting cut in the same spot while fighting a Chinese Slayer during the Boxer Rebellion. The ExpandedUniverse explanation for why the scar persisted when vampires normally have a HealingFactor is that the sword she used was blessed by a dragon.

** Creator/FrazerHines' character Jamie [=McCrimmon=] had to be temporarily recast with actor Hamish Wilson for Episode 2 of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E2TheMindRobber "The Mind Robber"]] due to Hines having contracted chickenpox. Luckily, the surreal nature of the story allowed an easy script addition (while trapped in the Land of Fiction, the Doctor has to reconstruct Jamie's face from memory but gets it wrong) and the temporary recast.

* Creator/MelissaRauch became pregnant just before production of ''Series/TheBigBangTheory's'' eleventh season began, with the result being her character becoming pregnant as well. Her character had just had a baby the previous season, and the season premiere has her and her husband worrying about having to care for two children.
** In fact, the reason that Bernadette and Howard have two children so close together is because Melissa Rauch was pregnant in real life both times. She tragically lost the first pregnancy, but it was decided not to write the miscarriage into the show; when she became pregnant a second time, the writers decided to give the Wolowitzes a second baby as well.

* In ''Series/GilmoreGirls'', [[Creator/MelissaMcCarthy Melissa McCarthy]] became pregnant two seasons after Sookie made Jackson get a vasectomy he didn't want after the birth of their second child. Since they couldn't [[HideYourPregnany hide it very well]], her pregnancy was written into the storyline by revealing that Jackson lied about getting the vasectomy because he didn't want it in the first place and thought Sookie would still be on birth control.
