Rizzoli and Isles - Season 5 - Jan Nash interview

Tasha and Jane are both OK, but what about Jane's unborn baby? If you've already seen the logline for next week's episode, which teases that Jane is trying to recover from a loss, you know the prognosis is, well, not good. "I think people will be able to draw their own conclusions as to what happens!" executive producer Jan Nash tells TVGuide.com. "You can figure it out, but I think it's pretty obvious. Jane Rizzoli has done something heroic and there is a price to be paid for it."

Nash says she deliberated for a while as to how to handle Jane's pregnancy, which was revealed in the Season 4 finale after she and Casey broke up for the umpteenth time. The former Without a Trace producer joined the TNT drama in between seasons and previously said that she didn't want the pregnancy to be a fake-out. "This pregnancy pre-existed my arrival on the show. It was one of the things I had to come up a plan for this year," she says. "I think there are a lot of different ways this could've been spun out for the show — do we want to see Jane as a mother? Is that something we want to do right now? — and we just made a decision to handle it in a way that we felt honored the seriousness of the situation. We just used our best judgment."
