Viewers frequently wonder whether pregnancy plots on television result from an actress’ actual pregnancies. Furthermore, her weight gain appearance in the latest season added more hints for people to speculate about her pregnancy. Well, the actress was diagnosed with MS while filming Season 3 which explains why she looks too huge in Season 3.
MS is an auto-immune disease that affects the sheath that surrounds nerve fibers, causing communication issues between the brain and the rest of the body. Numbness, tingling, soreness, exhaustion, memory issues, blindness, and paralysis are some of the symptoms. The disorder may result in nerve degeneration or irreversible injury. Christina recently admitted to gaining 40 pounds since receiving her MS diagnosis in an interview with the New York Times. She revealed,
I put on 40 pounds; I can’t walk without a cane. I want people to know that I am very aware of all of that.
However, the actress has maintained her role in Dead to Me: Season 3 despite her health issues. Her performance as Jen Harding is as promising as it has ever been, and Christina did a fantastic job of giving it life. The actress’ condition caused the show’s filming to stop for five months, but she was determined to resume it and finish it because she felt she had an obligation to Liz and to Linda, to our story.
Additionally, Christina Applegate also used a walking stick to support herself at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, despite not being visible doing so on the show. She has also come to accept it as her “new normal” at this point. During the ceremony, she was also spotted wearing no shoes. On Twitter, she posted the same image and captioned it, “For some with MS the feeling of shoes may hurt or make us feel off balance. So today I was me. Barefoot”
Here Is Why There Won’t Be Season 4 of Dead to Me!
On November 17th, 2022, Netflix released the third and final season of Dead to Me. Yes, there won’t be Season 4 of the series. You might be wondering why one of Netflix’s most popular shows was terminated after season three.
The fact that most Netflix Originals only last two, three, or even four seasons is perhaps the reason why Netflix decided to renew Dead to Me for a third and final season. They chose to give the show a sendoff that ended things on good terms because their metrics most likely indicated that the show would have reached a point of declining returns.
Creator Liz Feldman provided an explanation for the show’s short run of three seasons in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, stating:
I always knew that it was going to be a short-lived show. I wanted three or four seasons, but I’m realistic in terms of where the show lives. It lives on a platform that doesn’t traditionally give more than three or four, or sometimes even one or two, seasons. I wanted the ending to feel important and not just, like, “Oh shit, we’re going to get canceled!
