Peggy Bundy, played by Katey Sagal, whose real life pregnancy was written into season 6. When the actress suffered a miscarriage, the pregnancy storyline was written as a dream of Al’s, as it was felt it would be too traumatic for Katey Sagal to work with an infant. 

Sagal and White eventually had two children — a daughter, Sarah Grace, in 1994 and a son, Jackson James, in 1996. The writers of Married… with Children deliberately did not write Sagal’s two later pregnancies into the show due to the earlier stillbirth, opting instead to write off her absences in a subplot.
