[Afamilyatwar-list] Fwd: Cast Changes

[Alexander Maw]

Talking about cast members leaving and having to amend the script 
accordingly, I seem to remember when Margaret Porter became pregnant it 
was reported that it was because she was pregnant in real life.  I may 
have this wrong since I was 13 years old at the time.  If it was the 
case, it worked well, because it was typical of the time and situation.
