The actress and Michael found out they were expecting their son while Lisa was working on the hit show, so the creators wrote her pregnancy into the script. Lisa told PEOPLE that the cast and crew were all wonderful while she was pregnant on set: “The six of us would do a huddle backstage and just say, ‘All right, have a good show, love you love you love you love you.’
“And when I was pregnant, then they would say, ‘Have a great show, love you love you — love you, little Julian!’ ‘Cause we knew it was a boy and that was his name.”
