Tragedy
During the show’s earlier seasons, Katey Sagal got pregnant. When the show’s writers found out, they decided to include her pregnancy in Peggy’s character arc. They wrote an entire storyline of both Marcy and her being pregnant, and torturing Al. Unfortunately, life dealt them a bad hand… After several months of Sagal’s pregnancy, she sadly had a miscarriage. This piece of news was so devastating that the writers resolved they can’t continue with Peggy being pregnant and have Katey use a fake baby bump on the show. As an alternative, they opted to make all of it a dream. Al awakens then says he had a dream in which Peggy had been pregnant. Fortunately, years later, Sagal gave birth to a pair of healthy children, and her pregnancy remained a secret from the viewers through her wardrobe as well as set tricks.
