While it really looked like Amy Farrah Fowler dumped boyfriend Sheldon Cooper during the series finale of Season 8 of the long-running American TV sitcom “The Big Bang Theory,” the actress who plays Amy feels that it was not even a breakup.
Mayim Bialik, in a recent webcam chat with Gold Derby said that she actually does not know if she can consider what happened between Amy and Sheldon in the final episode of Season 8 as breaking up.
She disclosed that the writers were very specific with the language that they used. Amy needed some time and she needed to step back and that’s what Mayim gave to the character during the final episode of Season 8.
The actress explained that the way she sees the whole Amy-Sheldon breakup thing, it was just a sense of breathing space which most relationships are allowed or entitled to.
She also revealed that she and Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon in the TV series, were actually shocked during the table read for the script of the final episode titled “The Commitment Determination” when they both learned that Sheldon was actually planning to propose to Amy. They both think that it was quite powerful.
Acting since little
Mayim Bialik started young into acting as she actually played the younger version of Better Middler’s character in the 1988 drama “Beaches” along with Barbara Hershey.
She was also part of the stars for the TV series “Blossom” beginning in 1990 for five seasons and when the show ended in 1995, she took a decade-long break from show business to study and earn her doctorate degree in neuroscience at the UCLA.
Mayim first made it to “The Big Bang Theory” during its third season as a guest for a three-part episode and that got her interested in trying out acting again. She received positive reviews from her guest stint with the show that she came back as a recurring cast for Season 4 until she was made a series regular for Season 5.
Fan comments
Season 9 of the show will return later this year on CBS and this early, fans of the hit and very popular TV series are already predicting that Sheldon and Amy will get back together again.
Majority of fan comments on forum sites really indicate that they want a reunion between Sheldon and Amy if only to continue their relationship which they feel is really for the long haul.
Some other fans think that the show would probably hold on to the breakup plotline and milk it for the most part of Season 9 before having Sheldon and Amy reuniting towards the end of the season.
