It was almost like it was a trial run, meaning I wouldn't know week to week if I was going to be on. Melissa Rauch: I remember being in my dressing room, hearing that the show was interested in making me a series regular, but because it wasn't a full series regular, they didn't want a big announcement. The writers did not let the well run dry before they were like, Oh God, should we adopt a kid? Should we bring in a monkey? You know what I mean? They plugged these people in to see what was going to work and how it would work, and I thought it was genius. I said this years ago, but I believe it even more now that one of the smartest things that the writers room ever did was introduce Bernadette and Amy at a point where, as far as interests and storylines go, we did not need them yet. But at some point I felt a certain way about working with Mayim that I was like, If for whatever reason we seemed to be weaning her off of this show as a character, I would go and talk to them. And at some point in season four-I don't know if something caused it or not-I remember saying to Todd, "I will not let this character go without a fight." That was notable for me, only in that I almost never disagreed with the writers. There was no choice but to evolve the character. Jim Parsons: I know at the audition they said they needed a female version of Sheldon, basically, but that's untenable long-term. But it took a little while to shake off the "female Sheldon" description and let her become her own person. But we went into it like we do with all additions to the show and all the characters: We're hopeful and trying to do our best to make it grow into something better and interesting that was one of those that obviously did. We didn't know they were to have a second date, or how that was going to play out and keep evolving through the years. Even when we felt that the character may be polarizing-because some viewers weren't comfortable with the idea of Sheldon being involved with a female-Chuck was like, "I don't care, you put that face on TV!" We, in the writers room, were into it, but we didn't know where it was going to go. But Chuck was the biggest early adopter and proponent of Mayim. That's how it started what it would grow into would reveal itself later. I thought it would be funny that Koothrappali and Wolowitz would fill out a dating profile and be shocked that a match was found for Sheldon. Steve Molaro: I didn't know how important it was going to be at the time when I came up with the idea of Sheldon being matched with Amy on a dating site.
