In the series, Vivian is under a deadline to get her story written before she gives birth, with struggles with her pregnancy while under pressure to finish the article being a major part of the first few episodes. However, after she gave birth on the show, fans were quick to point out that her newborn child looked several months old.

Anna Chlumsky has opened up about playing Vivian on the show, who is loosely based on journalist Jessica Pressler. She said: "Jessica and I know each other, she's credited as a producer on our show, she's given her blessing to every single bit of our show. My character is a fictionalised version of that role and so I didn't have to match her exactly, so the first sort of decision to make was what to borrow and what not to and so what I would say is, I worked very, very closely with her written word, I worked very closely with her notes.
Anna Chlumsky plays Vivian
"I pored through them, I just drank them up. They were like, my vitamins, I read all of her articles, I felt like playing somebody who expresses themselves so well and so clearly in her own voice, that really the written word was giving me the most anchor that I needed. So that was my way in."
