On the May 12, 2007 episode of Wowowee, to promote ABS-CBN's new teen comedy "Gokada Go!", cast members from the show performed a dance number as part of the entertainment segment of the show. Nolan's tube top became loose, exposing one of her breasts. Although producers claimed that she had been wearing a skin-colored bra, Wowowee received a 3-day suspension from the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board.
Concealed pregnancy
In 2007, Eda disappeared from public view after she left the ABS-CBN sitcom, "That's my Doc!". She reappeared in February 2008 after revealing that she gave birth to a son, with her then-boyfriend, GMA-7 teen actor Gian Carlos.
