The Untold Truth Of Christian Serratos
When Christian Serratos became pregnant in 2016, it led to some challenges for producers of The Walking Dead, given that her character, Rosita Espinosa, was decidedly not pregnant.
To accommodate Serratos, the show's writers rejigged the storyline to explain Rosita's absence for several episodes to accommodate her pregnancy. That resulted in Rosita being shot — but not killed — during an altercation with the rival group known as the Saviors. With Rosita wounded and recovering, this would ensure the character wouldn't be involved in any of the show's other ongoing storylines while she convalesced.
At the time, Walking Dead exec producer Scott Gimple told Entertainment Weekly that the start of the eighth season would feature "a notable sort of Rosita-lessness," while the character regained her strength after being shot at the end of the previous season. "So, timing-wise, we missed Espinosa a little bit, but she was healing up from her wounds," he added.
