Some women do work while 8 months pregnant, but I do think 7 is more likely. Either way, the important thing is that she has a healthy pregnancy and the baby arrives safely, whenever that is.

Keeping it secret mm?

If necessary, I can see ONCE hiring another actress to play Belle.....

If Emilie gives birth prematurely (which I hope not, for her sake), they’d have no choice because otherwise they’d have to completely rewrite the episodes they’ve already written and re-do all the Rumbelle stuff. It’s been done on soaps before……. Yes it would suck, but it would only be temporary. That said, it never really worked well on soaps either - it just wasn’t believable. PLUS, Rumbelle is Bobby and Em, not Bobby and anyone else. I really don’t see that they would have any other option, though .and I wouldn’t blame them. What else could they do? It’s fantastic for Em that she’s having a baby, but the show has to march on….

Anyway, I figure she's due sometime in March......

I reckon the baba will be a girl, yep you heard it here first :lol: ;)

Well, I don't know, there is something in the water of Vancouver after all :lol:

Rum's or Em's?

I am attached to the idea of Rumbelle having a girl! She would have daddy wrapped around her tiny finger. As for Emilie and Eric, it doesn't matter as long as it's healthy!

I want a girl so much - and I think it would be. Later on, Rumbelle can have lots of babies - mix em up, lol - but for some reason a girl just seems so right.

AS to Em and Eric, I agree with Grace (not that I would have any clue about predicting these things)

Both ;)

:nod: Grace

I don't think they'll recast Belle, quite honestly, not even temporarily. The timing of her pregnancy means that a lot of her maternity leave will be during filming hiatus, and they can always film some minor scenes with Belle in advance to put into episodes if they so wish. There will probably be some Belle-lite episodes due to Emilie's pregnancy (like there was with Ginny), but that's how it is. Real life must take presedence :)

Saw 'The Submarine Kid' yesterday, a very good and very thoughtful film :D

Wonderful performance from Emilie :sigh: and also from Finn Wittrock

If you can, definitely check it out :D

Agh, jelous!

hope you won't have too long to wait meggy..

Ooh I'm so glad you loved it - and that Em was wonderful. I'll have to watch it on my computer, which sucks......but it's better than nothing. I hope to watch it next weekend!
