Amanda Seyfried Also Hates The Television Miscarriage
LatestMiscarriages: tragic in real life, overused on television as a way to avoid hot-button issues. And when it comes to her character on Big Love, Amanda Seyfried agrees.
In the third season of Big Love (not the most recent one), Seyfried’s character has premarital sex and gets pregnant, much to the shock and offense of her polygamist parents. The “problem” (if I recall correctly, abortion isn’t even mentioned, which seems fairly realistic in context) is solved when she miscarries, although the issue was returned to in the most recent season when Sarah married her boyfriend and then transferred her affections to another woman’s baby.
