Michaela Conlin interview with GMMR
While there is no new episode of BONES airing tonight, last Thursday’s hour gave fans plenty to think about, right?
I recently caught up with BONES star Michaela Conlin (Angela) and we talked about filming “The Blackout in the Blizzard,” being in the dark on baby-related matters and if she has a gender preference for Baby Hodgela…
First of all, I have to say that Angela and Hodgins had me crying during their scenes in “The Blackout in the Blizzard.”
Michaela Conlin: Aww, that’s really nice! TJ [Thyne (Hodgins)] did a really beautiful job with that. I thought David [Boreanaz (Booth)] did an amazing job with [directing] the episode.
Have you seen the finished hour?
MC: Yes. Well, truth be told, I saw part of it. I didn’t watch all of it, I saw the first half.
Did you get a chance to see the scene where Hodgins and Angela discussed his test results as Wendell observed them?
MC: Yes, I did see that scene. Yeah. It’s bad.
Was there actually dialogue written there or was it always intended to have us not know what they were saying?
MC: Oh, that’s a good question. No, there was no dialogue there, so we just improvised and talked to each other. It was a tough scene to shoot for sure. A tough scene to shoot.
Do you know if the baby is going to be blind?
MC: I don’t know that. I actually don’t know when I’m giving birth, how I’m giving birth, where I’m giving birth…these are all things I haven’t been able to ask [BONES creator] Hart [Hanson]. [Laughs] Because I haven’t seen him! We’ve been missing each other. We’re like ships in the night. And there’s part of me that wants to keep it a little bit of a surprise. Honestly. I’m not lying to you. Just because what fun is it [to know], right?
No, I understand the desire to keep it a surprise. Speaking of surprises, do you know if the baby is a boy or a girl?
MC: No, I don’t know, but I feel like there have been more - and I’m sure the fans can agree with this - references of it being a boy, but maybe someone just said that in my head early on.
Well, there’s also a certain character in an upcoming episode that thinks the baby is a boy…
MC: That’s right! Thank you. I knew you would know. [Laughs] I knew someone put it in my head. But also, before that, maybe Hodgins referenced it [being a boy]? Obviously I would love it to be - I have a penchant for girls. But I’m sure if the baby is healthy, Angela won’t care.

What do you think? Is Baby Hodgela a boy or a girl?

Please be a girl! I've wanted Baby Hodgela to be a girl forever. Plus, Katherine Temperance is such a pretty name. They can use Michael Joseph later.
