Congratulations are in order for Days of our Lives' Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe Lane), who is pregnant with her second child.
The actress took to Instagram to share the news, writing that her first baby with husband Grant Turnbull, ten-month-old Torin Mathias, is "excited about his upcoming role as big brother!"
The actress also shared that she is due with baby number two in August of this year.
At this time, it's unclear how Bjorlin's pregnancy might affect her storyline and/or screen time at DAYS. The writers used her previous pregnancy for storyline, which the actress told Soap Central was one of the reasons she decided to return to the show full-time.
"The storyline was one thing [that convinced me to return full-time] and then right when I was back on the show, I found out I was pregnant in real life. That made it even more interesting! So they were like, 'Okay, well... Maybe we can use it.' So that made it extra fun," she recalls. "Right from the beginning, [the powers that be] were so great about it. They said, 'This is awesome! This is great. We'll totally use it, and let's not give you the pressure of feeling like we have to hide it.' So that was really amazing. Even though, the funny thing is, we sort of ended up hiding it most of the time. It was a shooting time line issue unbeknownst to everybody, with the hiatus that had to be had by the show that wasn't in the schedule to begin with. So they really kind of had to hide it for a while, and then it kind of became this funny joke where the directors were like, 'Are we still hiding this thing?' as I'm nine months pregnant. They're like, 'Wait a minute, we're not showing this yet?' So when I actually came back from my maternity leave, I've had to wear a fake stomach for a bit."
