"‘Speaking from a logistical standpoint, the most challenging thing in season seven was preparing for Jared Padalecki’s baby,’ states co-executive producer Jim Michaels. ‘We had a codename, Operation Moose Drop. We knew there was a period of three different episodes when we had to make sure that Jared was a little lighter in his involvement, and we needed to know when the best times to shoot him out of the episodes were. So, one episode we shot him at the beginning and he ended up with a five-day weekend, and the baby didn’t come. In the next episodes we had a couple of floater days — days in those scripts when we could pull any actor on any given day — and because of that unknown we got some sets ready early. In the end, the baby came in one of the pockets of time we had prepared, but coordinating that was daunting.’"
