Hendricks: 'Mad Men' wait 'will be worth it'

Fan have been clamoring to take a trip back to 1960?s New York and wander the halls of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce on AMC?s ?Mad Men,? but their wait will continue until March 2012, something star Christina Hendricks says will pay off in big ways.

?I know it?s been a little bit of a wait, but it will be worth it,? the actress, who plays office bombshell Joan Holloway on the series, told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Tuesday?s Access Hollywood Live. ?We?re already shooting our tenth episode.?

Viewers last saw Joan in the middle of a pregnancy pickle, not knowing if the father of her baby was husband Greg Harris (played by Sam Page) or the child of her boss and former flame, Roger Sterling (John Slattery). But Hendricks stayed tightlipped on who her character?s baby daddy might be.

?It wouldn?t be fun if I told you, you gotta wait!? she said with a smile. ?There?s some really great storytelling. You?ll have to wait and see.?
