![]() ![]() ![]() We talked about her maybe going back to Oregon to be back with her family. "There was pretty much no talk of her actually being pregnant on the show. "We didn't have enough big potted plants on our set that we could just have her stand behind plants," she said. First of all, it didn't hurt that Meriwether herself had just lost a week to the legal system, according to the same HitFix interview. Where did they come up with the idea to send Jess on jury duty? It's kind of perfect, now that you think about it. The show has been on since 2011, and I'm sure the writers appreciated the challenge - it shows! The addition of Megan Fox, who is only recently known for comedy and still primarily a movie star (unless you were a big Hope & Faith fan back in the day), should be perfect. The show has utilized a variety of ways to give Deschanel a break that go against the norm, including having her break both legs and be confined to a wheelchair in the Season 5 premiere, plus the jury duty sequestering and an entire scene done in shadow from a high window. Meriwether also said that Jess and Reagan will interact in the show's 100th episode. Two of those have already aired, which leaves four episodes for Reagan, and puts Jess' return at Season 5, Episode 10 on March 8. According to HitFix's interview with creator Liz Meriwether (who will also cameo in the first Megan Fox episode), Deschanel will be gone for six episodes total this season. If you're missing that quirky juror, never fear. While this is both exciting and creative and a way to let her actually have a maternity leave, when will Zooey Deschanel be back on New Girl? Starting on Tuesday, Megan Fox replaces Zooey Deschanel on New Girl for multiple episodes as Reagan, a new temporary roommate. Television has employed a lot of "creative" methods to hide actors' pregnancies over the years when their characters were not in the same condition, but I will forever be obsessed with New Girl's decision to just allow their star to go home. ![]()
