The scene followed a hysterical episode of April Fools\u2019 pranks, causing deceased scoutmaster Pat (Jim Howick) to be sceptical of the announcement \u2013 that is, until Alison pointed out that midday had passed.<\/p>\n
Charlotte Ritchie told RadioTimes.com<\/a> that she had mixed feelings to the development at first, as she was surprised by how closely Alison\u2019s story was mirroring that of many of her real-life friends.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is beautiful and wonderful and amazing, but it also marks the end of one era and the beginning of another,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I think, in a kind of selfish way, I always loved getting to play Alison because she existed in a separate world\u2026<\/p> \u201cIt just so happens that she got pregnant at the same time that loads of my really good friends did. And I guess I\u2019m just at that age, so I was a bit like, \u2018Even in Ghosts<\/a>, everyone [is getting pregnant]!\u2019 But truthfully, it was really lovely once I got over that.\u201d<\/p>\n The actor, who is also known for roles in Call the Midwife<\/a>, Feel Good and You<\/a>, went on to say that she wouldn\u2019t have changed the storyline if she\u2019d had the opportunity.<\/p>\n \u201cI guess it just seems so grown up\u2026 but it\u2019s great,\u201d she explained. \u201cObviously, it\u2019s fantastic that there\u2019s this person coming into their life that makes them feel so unified.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd also, just knowing that the ghosts would be so excited. It\u2019s such a lovely thing that this baby is coming into a huge family of people.\u201d<\/p>\n Ritchie continued: \u201cI love Mike and Alison, I love their relationship. They\u2019ve got such a deep love and friendship and I think knowing that they\u2019re embarking on this together is obviously just a sweet next step for them.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans will now be wondering exactly how this will impact the rest of the final season, with Ritchie offering an insight into how Alison\u2019s pregnancy is handled by the writers.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n She said: \u201cI think it\u2019s a lot like what pregnancy is like [in real-life]\u2026 the first bit you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh my gosh, this is happening. This is huge\u2019. And then it takes so long for it to actually happen, that it becomes part of your daily life.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is, by the way, if you have a fairly problem-free pregnancy without issues that you need to attend to, which Alison seems to. So ultimately, it sort of is the news, and then it becomes part of the furniture.\u201d<\/p> ![\"Alison](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/444971-34de183.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"444971,Ghosts")
