They Hid Emily's Pregnancy Belly in Creative Ways

Helen Baxendale, who played the part of Emily, was pregnant during the filming of Seasons 4 and 5 of the show. Rather than write her pregnancy into the storyline of the show, the creators decided that it would make more sense to hide her growing baby bump and continue with the story as planned. This meant that they had to come up with a variety of creative ways to conceal her pregnancy belly, which included dressing her in looser clothes or filming her in unsual places. That's why on her wedding day, she was seen wearing an empire waist bridal gown - it perfectly hid her stomach so that audiences were none the wiser.
