Caterina Scorsone and her husband, musician Rob Giles, are expecting their first child this summer.
“We’re over the moon,” the Private Practice star, 30, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“I’m starting to show now. Everybody on set has been pretty sweet and is offering me fruit.”
On Thursday’s episode, fans of the show will learn that Scorsone’s character, Dr. Amelia Shepard, is pregnant.
“This year Amelia — who had been sober — fell off the wagon after her friend died,” the actress explains of her character’s story arc. “She hit rock bottom, had an intervention and went to rehab. So this news is on the heels of that.”
Upon learning of Scorsone’s pregnancy, Private Practice creator Shonda Rhimes was inspired.
“The news came out of left field and I think she decided she could use this for dramatic purposes,” jokes Scorsone. “As an actress it never feels like right time. But once we knew what was happening we were like, ‘This is perfect.’”
“Shonda was immediately excited and talked about what we could do when the baby came so the baby could be on set,” she continues. “She’s been unbelievably supportive.”

ReplyDeleteAnd definitely explains Amelia's pregnancy!
I thought was was so random for Amelia to be pregnant lol!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Caterina, being a first time mum is very exciting.
ReplyDeleteThe set of Grey's Anatomy must be some sort of incubator. Scorsone did one crossover episode on the set of Grey's and now she's got a case of the babies. At this point, I think that set needs to be quarantined before Justin Chambers starts walking around with a baby bump.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for her but I'm not sure about the idea of Amelia being pregnant. Why is it she decided to write in this pregnancy but not any for grey's it seems like there is a least on actress per year that winds up expecting?
ReplyDeleteBecause it can provide drama between her and Addison, who desperately wants a baby but cant't seem to conceive.
ReplyDeleteWell, Amelia did have all that sex with her drug buddy/fiance. I am sure most of it was probably unprotected.
ReplyDeletethats awesome...seriously if u want to get pregnant go work for Shonda Rhimes. she is the baby whisper!
ReplyDeleteWow, that explains it! I did think the pregnancy came out of left field a little, but I'm interested in seeing where Shonda takes it :) Congratulations, Caterina!
ReplyDeleteI really like this, because they can't back out of it!
