Sarah Shahi, star of Life and formerly of the L Word, is pregnant! Life show runner Rand Ravich tells E!: "Sarah Shahi is pregnant. She's about four months along." So, will her pregnancy be written into the cult hit NBC show?
Ravich says that big changes are in store for the show, including a separation for "Dani Reese (Shahi's character)" and partner "Charlie Crews (played by Damian Lewis)," and a new job for Reese.
Rand says, "[Sarah's pregnancy] is a challenge and a... challenge. Episodic television is a grueling schedule, and Sarah and Damian were practically in every scene together, and we certainly can't expect Sarah to work 15-hour days... So we were able to carve Sarah out of the main story a little bit - keeping her always related to Crews and always involved with Crews - and just give her some relief as well."
Rand adds that Sarah's pregnancy will coicide nicely with plotlines they were already planning between her and Damian's character.
"We wanted to diverge their stories somewhat, to separate them geographically to make them start doubting each other, tear them apart somewhat. And then hopefully, if they can work it out, [we can] bring them back together in a stronger fashion."
Life returns Feb. 4. at 9 p.m.
Sarah is engaged to actor Steve Howey and this will be their first child together.
Congrats!
