When the cast and creative team behind ABC’s hit comedy series Not Dead Yet walked to their seats for their press conference for Television Critics Association journalists Wednesday night, one unannounced participant garnered a smattering of raised eyebrows, smiles, coos, oohs, and ahhs from the reporters as he arrived.
As star Gina Rodriguez energetically marched in front of the show’s Cricket’s Wine Down set on the Fox Studio Lot, she had her 1-year-old son, Charlie, on her hip.
It turns out that Charlie was a secret guest star throughout the first season of the series, which premiered Season 2 on Wednesday night. Rodriguez was pregnant during filming last year.
