Gillian Anderson, the star of Netflix’s new drama Scoop, has opened up about the “guilt” she felt early on her career, when she returned to work on sci-fi series The X-Files just ten days after giving birth. Speaking on NBC's TODAY show, Gillian revealed she felt “pressured” to return to the cult show which propelled her to megastardom following the birth of her first child, a daughter named Piper, back in 1994.
“Ten days after you give birth — by C-section, I might add — you were back at work,” TODAY co-anchor Savannah Guthrie began during an interview on the US talk show on 3 April. How do you feel about that now?” Savannah asked.
“I think if I didn’t feel so guilty that I got pregnant in the first season, that I might have taken better care of myself and been more thoughtful about what I needed,” replied the actress, 55. “But I think I think I was so wrapped up in, 'I almost got fired, I messed up, I’ll do whatever they say.'” “So, yeah, 10 days after a C-section,” she added.
Caesareans, or c-sections as they are more commonly known, are a major surgical procedure in which a baby is cut from the womb instead of delivered naturally, and often require around six to eight weeks of recovery before resuming normal activities. It’s also not uncommon for patients to experience a host of other symptoms following the procedure too, including pain in their incisions, hormone changes, uterine contractions and potentially also infections.
The NHS even advises that new mums should try and take it easy for at least six weeks following the operation and refrain from a number of common activities including driving and carrying anything heavier than their baby.

Gillian Anderson had trouble making up her mind about her role in Scoop.
After weeks of anticipation, Netflix’s brand new real-life drama Scoop is finally here! The big budget drama focuses on the gripping narrative surrounding Emily Maitlis' groundbreaking and now iconic Newsnight interview with Prince Andrew back in 2019.This broadcast sent shockwaves through the public, sparking widespread uproar over Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein and ultimately lead to his withdrawal from public life as a Duke. To coincide with the release, the show’s two leads, Gillian Anderson and Rufus Sewell took to social media to share a cheeky glimpse behind the scenes of production, including the application of prosthetics to transform them into the real life characters they were portraying.Taking to Instagram, the duo shared a carousel of images showing the transformation process, complete with plenty of silly faces to lighten the mood during the long process.
Scoop ( Friday, April 5), centers on Prince Andrew's first sit-down interview about his friendship with convicted sex offender, the late financier, (which later resulted in him stepping down from official royal duties), but the more profound story here is how it happened.That's where Anderson comes in. She plays BBC Newsnight anchor and journalist, Emily Maitlis, who conducted the infamous 2019 interview after months of tenacious work by her producer, Sam McAlister (played by Billie Piper), to secure the booking.“I remember hearing about the interview, but I hadn't seen it right [away],” Anderson tells me over Zoom from her New York hotel room.
When Prince Andrew submitted to being interviewed by Emily Maitlis for Newsnight, it made blockbuster viewing. Now Netflix’s Scoop brings the behind-the-scenes story to life and it’s even more compelling. Based on the book by former Newsnight editor Sam McAlister, Scoop looks at how Sam (played by Billie Piper) secured the royal chat for presenter Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson), who went on to quiz the prince on his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of sexual assault against him by Virginia Giuffre.
Guy Lodge Film Critic It’s no great slight to “Scoop” to say that it’s no more compelling than the real-life news broadcast on which it pivots. It’s also no less compelling than said broadcast, which was, after all, a doozy: the 2019 episode of “BBC Newsnight” in which anchor Emily Maitlis interviewed Prince Andrew about his friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Emily Longeretta When mother-daughter showrunners Heather Conkie and Alexandra Clarke began working on “The Way Home” with creator Marly Reed, they didn’t intentionally set their sites on the world of “Alice in Wonderland.” Instead, it came completely natural. “As we started looking at this show and the concept, it became so much clearer to us how oddly echoing it all was to the book, and we sort of thought well, if it’s there, let’s use it.
