B'Elanna's jacket

Sorry I asked
Bryan Fuller in season four had pitched the idea to incorporate Dawson's pregnancy--the Vidiians capture Torres and create her pregnancy in order to produce a pure Klingon child with stem cells to cure the Phage(in reference to "Faces").
I wonder whether it might have been better if they had incorporated Dawson's pregnancy into the show. In some scenes it was just so painfully obvious. 
And it's not as if Miral wasn't an "accident".
Could have happened earlier. That idea with a baby constructed by the Vidiians might have been interesting as well.
Ah well - it was allright as it was, too.

Married With Children, possibly? They incorporated Katey Segal's pregnancy, but she miscarried. Rather than make her continue on with Peggy's pregnancy or making the same thing happen to the character when Segal was mourning her loss, they completely dropped the storyline altogether without a mention, something that's a little easier to get away with in an episodic comedy than it would be in most hour-long dramas like VOY.
Anyway, that's an excellent point. If I was a professional actress, I think I'd prefer to spend 9 months behind tables, desks, boxes, and other assorted large belly-hiding objects than run the risk of having to deal with a RL life loss and then come onto a set where I'd be going through all those emotions there, too. That would be awful. Most viewers are smart enough to ignore a baby bump for a pregnancy that's not taking place within a series' universe after all.
yes, she wore the jacket through the end of the season for continuity's sake. though it was never officially explained (that i know of), the instruments in her jacket pocket were engineering tools.
before the show started she married eric dawson, who owns some sort of casting agency. i don't know when she divorced casey biggs, but it was well before she got the part on voyager. but since she had been getting billed as roxann biggs through the late 80s and early 90s that's why she kept his name as part of her last name through the first 2 full seasons of voyager (there are 4 episodes that were filmed for season 2 but weren't broadcast until season 3) as roxann biggs-dawson.
as she started showing more and more, they tried to only film her from the waist up or of her sitting down. but if you watch "message in a bottle" in some of the wide shots you can definitely see her baby bulge. it may have even happened in some others besides the obvious inclusion of it in "the killing game."
She also wore the jacket until she restored her pre-pregnancy figure. Even Nana Visitor talked about still wearing the less form fitting top after giving birth to hide the bulges.
