TV’s Top Tots: From ‘Breaking Bad’s’ Holly White to ‘Family Guy’s’ Stewie Griffin

Holly White on ‘Breaking Bad’
Holly White (Elanor Anne Wenrich) is the daughter of Walt (Bryan Cranston) and Skyler White (Anna Gunn) in AMC's hit series Breaking Bad. That moment when Walt abducted baby Holly in episode 14, "Ozymandias" — director Rian Johnson told The Hollywood Reporter how the scene originally had Walt bringing the baby up to eye level and having a change of heart as he looked into her eyes. But on set, the baby made eye contact with her real mom, who was standing behind Cranston, and started saying the word "mama" repeatedly — helping the scene work out better than anticipated.
Abel Teller on ‘Sons of Anarchy’
On FX's Sons of Anarchy, Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) and Tara Knowles-Teller (Maggie Siff) have a son named Abel. Abel, whose birth mother is Jax's estranged wife, Wendy Case (Drea de Matteo), was born premature, but recovered after surgery and a long period in the intensive care unit.
Ben Geller on ‘Friends’
Baby Ben Geller, son to Ross (David Schwimmer) and Carol Geller (Jane Sibbett, who replaced Anita Barone), first appeared on Friends in season one's "The One With The Birth" episode. Ben, who was played by Cole Sprouse in seasons six though eight, was raised by Carol and her lesbian life partner, Susan Bunch (Jessica Hecht).
Emma Geller-Green on ‘Friends’
Baby Emma Geller-Green (portrayed by Cali and Noelle Sheldon) was daughter to Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston). While Emma lived with both of them for a while, Rachel eventually brought her to live with Joey (Matt LeBlanc) after getting into a fight with Ross. By the series finale, Rachel and Ross ended up moving back in together and becoming closer as a family.
Nicky and Alex Katsopolis on ‘Full House’
After Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) and Rebecca "Becky" Donaldson-Katsopolis (Lori Loughlin) wed in season four of Full House, the couple gave birth to twin boys, Nicky and Alex Katsopolis (Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit). The couple and their twins cohabitated with Jesse's brother-in-law Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), best friend Joey Tanner (Dave Coulier) and Danny's three daughters, D.J. (Candace Cameron), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle (played interchangeably by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen), making the house even fuller.
Michelle Tanner on ‘Full House’
The slightly mischievous Michelle Tanner, portrayed by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, was the youngest of the Tanners in Full House.
Lily Pritchett-Tucker on ‘Modern Family’
Born in Vietnam, Lily (played by Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, who replaced Ella and Jaden Hiller) is adopted by Cameron Tucker (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitch Pritchett (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) in Modern Family. In season three, Lily started being much more vocal and even dropped the F-bomb in the "Little Bo Bleep" episode.
Maggie Simpson on ‘The Simpsons’
The baby that never quite aged — Maggie Simpson. Often seen sucking on her orange pacifier, Maggie is the youngest child of Marge (voiced by Julie Kavner) and Homer Simpson (voiced by Dan Castellaneta), and baby sister to Bart (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) and Lisa (voiced by Yeardley Smith).
Harrison Morgan on ‘Dexter’
Harrison is the son of Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and wife Rita (Julie Benz), the latter of whom was murdered by the Trinity Killer in the season-four finale. Dexter discovers Harrison crying in a pool of his mother's blood. Following Rita's death, his Irish nanny, Sonya (Maria Doyle Kennedy, pictured with Hall), helps take care of Harrison. As his son grows, Dexter is frequently concerned that Harrison will exhibit signs of a serial killer, following in his dad's footsteps.
Marvin W. Eriksen on ‘How I Met Your Mother’
In the season-six finale of How I Met Your Mother, Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel) and Lily Alrdrin (Alyson Hannigan) welcomed their baby boy, Marvin Wait-for-It Eriksen. Marshall decided to name his son in memory of his father, with the middle name stemming from a promise made to one of his best friends, Barney Stintson (Neil Patrick Harris).
Andy Keaton on ‘Family Ties’
Brian Eric Bonsall starred as Andy Keaton, the youngest child on the hit NBC sitcom. The show, which ran from 1982-89, also starred Meredith Baxter as mom Elyse, Michael Gross as dad Steven, Michael J. Fox as the oldest sibling Alex, Justine Bateman as second-oldest sibling Mallory and Tina Yothers as third-eldest daughter Jennifer.
Baby Hope on ‘Raising Hope’
Jimmy Chance (Lucas Neff) becomes a single parent to baby Hope after the woman he had a one-night stand with ends up on death row. To raise his daughter, Jimmy relies on his eccentric family for help. The Fox series also stars Martha Plimpton and Garret Dillahunt.
Joey Stivic on ‘All in the Family’
Just call him "Little Meathead." The son of Mike "Meathead" Stivic (Rob Reiner) and wife Gloria (Sally Struthers), Joey also was the grandson of "lovable bigot" Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) and "dingbat" Edith Bunker (Jean Stapleton). In one episode, Joey was entered into a cutest baby contest by grandfather Archie.
Stewie Griffin on ‘Family Guy’
Stewie Griffin (voiced by series creator Seth MacFarlane) isn't your typical 1-year-old. The child prodigy speaks perfect English — with, inexplicably, a British accent — has constructed fighter jets and mind control devices, and engages in frequent criminal acts, yet he has no idea how to use a toilet. He also has a close friendship with the Griffin family's dog, Brian (also voiced by MacFarlane).
