she split from her first husband a few years back and then things took off with Chris Woods.
Anyone know where they are in the shoot schedule for the current season?

Temporarily give Eliza Danvers superpowers. Or just bring in the mature Kara as Superwoman from the Earth the movie took place in as temp substitute. Either way Helen Slater back in the suit.
I am surprised they have not done that for at least one episode of the Flash with John Wesley Shipp. Much discussion of how hard it is for leads to be in every scene or episode. There was a big Twitter thread from current tv writers on that recently. That it’s hard to imagine shows like the original Macgyver or Quantum Leap with leads who appear in almost every scene anymore. Which is why every show has a team.
DC shows have the Multiverse angle to allow temp fill-ins by established actors. Which most other shows can not do.
Holy crap lol. I guess I’m more prophetic than I thought.
Those are both fun ideas. I think I favor the latter (primarily because I'm an unironic fan of Supergirl '84, and would love to see an official continuation), but making Eliza super instead would be amusingly meta.
ETA: Laura Vandervoort's Kara from Smallville would also be an option.

She seems to be happy with him, that’s really all that matters. Especially considering what happened to her in one of her previous relationships.
They've been able to hide pregnancies in shows and movies before. "Age Of Ultron" edited out ScarJo's baby bump and just recently they've been hiding Danielle panabaker baby bump
What I can see happening is they shoot from the neck up for Supergirl and then the next shot is a CGI model where she flies away
Grow up
That dullard is a twisted scary fuck on Legacies/Vampire Diaries.
It's called acting.

Laura already played Indigo, aka Brainiac 8, and exploring how she is connected to Brainiac 5, even though she is from the past and destroyed Krypton, would be more interesting.
Some interesting ideas here. It's much harder to hide her pregnancy with her being the star, and the only option may be to once again waste a season on non-Supergirl characters. I still say it makes more sense to simply delay the show's return so they can do a proper season, even if it's shortened (though it wouldn't have to be).
I do like the idea of Vandervoort doing a guest stint from another Earth, but they would have to re-establish the multiverse.

Or.... if they re-establish the multi-verse, Somehow Supergirl and (Brandon Routh's) Superman get switched (a mystery they try to solve). But only the bodies are switched so Superman acts/thinks like Supergirl.

This. Absolutely this. I didn't know I want it, but I want it so bad.Or.... if they re-establish the multi-verse, Somehow Supergirl and (Brandon Routh's) Superman get switched (a mystery they try to solve). But only the bodies are switched so Superman acts/thinks like Supergirl.

Why do I feel like the showrunners' actual solution will be so much less interesting and imaginative than those being bandied about here?
Not really a fair comparison. Fans' imaginations are free to go anywhere, with no regard to feasibility. TV producers' imaginations have to work within restrictions of budget, ratings, network and studio approval, actor availability, the practicality of story structure, etc. You can always imagine a ton of stuff that would never actually work in practice, but TV creators have to imagine things that do work, and that results in certain constraints.
To go back to what I said in my last post about just temporarily writting her out and focusing on other characters, Crossing Jordan had a significant part of one season where Jordan was gone and they focused on the rest of the cast because Jill Henessy was pregnant and had to take a break, and it worked fine. I really think the same thing could work fine here, the rest of the cast is more than capable of carrying the show without Benoist.
We recently saw a picture of Alex dressed as Supergirl, so maybe they could just redo whatever happens there and have Chyler Lee as Supergirl until Melissa Benoist can come back.

My idea seems feasible, production and budget wise. Unless Routh was let go for some backstage reason that precludes him from being hired again, he'd be no problem as far as studio approval, - he already has that.
The only way to really know what's feasible in a given profession is to train for as long as it takes to become qualified to work in it. Armchair quarterbacking is no substitute for actual experience. When I was first starting out as a writer, I thought my ideas were great. Once I got an education through years of rejection letters, I was able to see how flawed and superficial my ideas actually were.
Everything is fun until the executives, producers and studio heads are breathing down your neck for feasible results.
Because we're not constrained by network executives,budgets and old men in striped suits visiting the set for answers.
Studio heads were on set for like 3 months when Kate Mulgrew was cast as Captain Janeway.
They were just waiting for her to mess up so that they can bring in a male actor for the Captain role
