General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that Josh Swickard (Harrison Chase) and Lauren Swickard are expecting their first child! In an interview with Access Hollywood, the happy couple made a pregnancy announcement and shared some details about their impending bundle of joy.
Josh and his wife are having a baby girl, so this is certainly exciting news worth celebrating.
However, it turns out Josh and Lauren have been keeping this pregnancy under wraps for quite some time. “It’s been our little secret for the last eight months,” Lauren said in the interview. “I have about six weeks left of the pregnancy. We were pregnant during the filming of ‘California Christmas.’”
Of course, California Christmas was the surprise hit film Lauren wrote and acted in with Josh for Netflix. That film won rave reviews from fans over the holidays and did well enough that Netflix fast-tracked a sequel, which will begin filming this summer about three months after Lauren’s due date.
Earlier reports pointed to filming a bit sooner, but it makes sense that it’s been pushed back with Lauren’s pregnancy taking center stage right now. The new film has also been penned by Lauren and will be called A California Christmas: City Lights.
Although there was some talk about including the pregnancy in some way, the script’s already finished. There won’t be any major baby drama happening in the film, though Lauren did tease the possibility of maybe including it as a surprise at the end. We’ll just have to wait and see what they actually shoot!
As for the baby Lauren’s expecting with Josh, she talked about being pregnant while filming the first movie in this A California Christmas series. With a little nudging from Josh, Lauren corrected that to actually getting pregnant at the time of filming and shared a laugh with her hubby about it.
Lauren and Josh also shared a video of when she first revealed to him that she’d be having a baby. “Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up…” Josh said adorably in the clip.
It’s clear that this General Hospital star is one proud daddy-to-be – and Lauren certainly seems to be looking forward to this big arrival as well. “#GIRLDAD so excited for this next chapter of life…. @laurenswickard let’s gooooo!!!!!!!!” Josh said in a recent Instagram post to confirm the baby updates.
As for what’s next in Port Charles, General Hospital spoilers say Chase has some family bombshells in his future as well – albeit less pleasant ones! Chase seems poised to learn that Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) may be his father instead of his brother, so things are about to get messy.
