Fancy that! A post shared by alydenisof on Sep 17, at pm PDT. One of Hannigan's kids was slated to play Lily and Marshall's second child, but then she got some disappointing news. She was gonna be the baby, but [producer] Carter Bays was like, 'Nope.

She continued, "They were not sure if it was a cockroach or a mouse. To that, HuffPost responded, "Are you freaking kidding me? But, you know, somebody great would come on [the show] and we would be like, 'Yeah, we want her to be the mom,' so it was sort of just like whoever was on for a long period of time.
Let her. That was until Barney said something else offensive, forcing her to walk away again. The actress also did not take an extended leave when she was pregnant for the second time in Instead, her pregnancy was written into the show to pave the way for the birth of Marvin Eriksen , the first child of Lily and Marshall. Kara Hedash is a features editor and writer for Screen Rant. From time to time, she dives into the world's most popular franchises but Kara primarily focuses on evergreen topics.
The fact that she gets to write about The Office regularly is like a dream come true. After graduating college, writing began as a part-time hobby for Kara but it quickly turned into a career.
She loves binging a new series and watching movies ranging from Hollywood blockbusters to hidden indie gems. However, Silverstone bowed out of the role because she and her reps feared that she would be overshadowed by Britney Spears, who would be playing Stella's assistant.
It turns out that Spears was much more important to the show as her star power could easily boost the show's rating. Silverstone would have been a great fit for the role of Stella, but the producers saved face by casting Sarah Chalke of Scrubs fame, who gracefully played the role. How I Met Your Mother is a show that has dealt with tragedy and illness in a respectful and nuanced way, but it's heartbreaking to know that some of the show's fictional woes steeped into reality as well.
Well into the show's prime, Cobie Smulders was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in Just 25 at the time, Smulders didn't reveal her battle with ovarian cancer until the show was over - when she was Smulders cited spreading awareness for the disease and helping others get through such a tumultuous time when asked why she decided to reveal her diagnosis.
Smulders was cancer-free two years later, after surgery and therapy, and currently has two daughters with her husband. Josh Radnor is, by all means, a great actor, but just like the rest of us, he suffers from allergies that affected his performance. The reason his allergies are so prominent is that he would eventually date Robin - a woman who has an almost unhealthy obsession with dogs.
It turns out that the show's creators had no idea that Radnor was allergic to dogs until after he was cast. Seeing as he would be spending a bunch of time with Robin and her dogs, paramedics were on set just in case Radnor had a severe reaction.
Many fans were left confused when Robin's dogs disappeared from the show's narrative in season 2, but it turns out that they were written out because of Radnor's allergies, which clears up one loose end. One of the biggest missteps of the show happened in season 9, when the show was criticized for its portrayal of Asian people and the use of Yellowface. Focusing on Marshall traveling to Asia to learn how to give Barney the best or depending on how you see it, the worst slap of his life, the episode "Slapsgiving 3: Slappointment in Slapmarra" featured the main cast dressing up in stereotypical Asian get-ups with yellowface and fake mustaches.
While the creators meant no harm, citing the episode as an unabashed, immature, love-letter to Kung-Fu films, many were shocked and appalled at the show's blatant racism towards Asian audience members.
The creators later apologized, realizing why the joke didn't land as well as they would have hoped. Hoping to catch lightning in a bottle again, CBS and the show's creators attempted to create a spin-off that was told from the perspective of another mother.
The show, titled How I Met Your Dad, would be set in another bar and focus on a different cast of characters, which included Oscar nominee Greta Gerwig, who would play the mother.
Meg Ryan was slated to play the older mother. Unfortunately, the pilot was never picked up. Another spin-off, titled How I Met Your Father, was conceived of in , but no pilot was shot and the show was eventually abandoned. However, the idea didn't stay dead for too long, as just last year, the idea was brought up once again, this time under a different crew. While the How I Met Your Mother series finale was by no means a Dexter -level disaster, fans were left scratching their heads at the perplexing decision to make perpetual bachelor bro Barney get married to Robin, only to divorce three years later so she and Ted could finally, inevitably get together.
Apparently, the confusion was shared by Alyson Hannigan, who said she wished they'd done a two-hour series finale, so they could have included many "vital" cut scenes which she thought were "all this stuff that I think the audience needed.
Of course, Hannigan also gushed about her experience with the show, saying she would "do it again in a heartbeat," and that it was "just pure, lovely fun. It's not a huge sign of foreboding when a TV pilot that an actor works on doesn't get picked up.
In fact, it happens every season; people just move on to the next project. But in the case of the sitcom More Time with Family , it was apparent that Hannigan really wanted it to happen. This time around, Hannigan was a bit more tempered in her public enthusiasm for the project. In an interview with the now defunct Wet Paint , she said, "I'm more excited about what would happen should the show continue for years.
Where they want to go, more so than the initial pilot, which is trying to respect where it came from with the movie. Her seemingly lackluster feelings about the pilot were apparently shared by TV Land, who passed on the show and instead moved forward with an adaptation of Heathers , effectively leaving Hannigan with two small one-off parts on TV shows and a single, forgettable indie film as credits since Which brings us to And in case you're thinking, "Huh?
The review in The L. Times fell under the headline " Do You Take This Man is not the gay wedding drama you've been waiting for," and the criticism of the film was summed up as "this sluggish talkfest feel like even more of a missed opportunity; something livelier and more compelling was in order.
Certainly not, but it doesn't really help her either. Another reason Hannigan is still associated with those old roles is because of the timeless quality of fandom. While Buffy the Vampire Slayer went off the air in , fans have kept the show alive with fan fiction and comic conventions throughout the world.
Both Hannigan and her husband are very popular stars on the sci-fi convention circuit, appearing at events such as the Phoenix Comicon to fans eager to get autographs and pictures with their favorite Buffy characters. This further cements Hannigan with her genre roots, making it harder to sell her as a character in other roles, like a traditional drama or other non-genre films. One of the unfortunate truths about Hollywood is that it primarily casts actors by archetype.
Age can determine if an actor plays the hapless young victim, the plucky young hero, the grizzled mentor, and so on. As of , Alyson Hannigan is 43 years old, which puts her at a kind of intermediate age.
