Marcia Cross on bed rest, Desperate Housewives production moves to Marcia’s house
Well, no sooner had we written about the fact Marc Cherry would still not be writing Marcia Cross’s pregnancy into Desperate Housweives comes word that Marcia Cross, who plays Bree Van Der Camp, has been put on bed rest. The news reportedly came last week.
So what does this mean? Production moves to the home Marcia Cross shares with her husband Tom Mahoney!
Marcia Cross is expecting twins, but isn’t due until April. However, she had still planned to tape two more episodes of the hit show before taking maternity leave. But this bed rest throws things into a tailspin with the show trying to wrap up Bree’s storyline.
While Cross is resting upstairs in bed, the Housewives team will be downstairs transforming the home she moved into just months ago into a likeness of Bree’s orderly abode. “They are painting the walls, moving in props and furniture from the set…,” says a source from the set. “They’re basically making Marcia’s house into Bree’s.”
I must say, they found a creative way to deal with the situation. Although if I was pregnant with twins, I am not sure how impressed I would be about them bringing the chaos into my homel. But I am guessing her West L.A. home is big enough it isn’t that much of a problem!
And if you were an actress, wouldn’t it be a bit weird to discover your own home now looks like your character’s home? But I would be interested to know if Marcia keeps the changes made!
