It is a huge possibility that Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) might live together, considering that they are officially married. This leaves Sheldon, played by Jim Parsons, on his own. Sheldon has tried a few times before to get a new roommate, but it seems he could not find someone that he could trust and could replace Leonard. And of course, Amy could be the answer to his problems.
Molaro said that Amy would find a way to trick Sheldon into doing this and probably using his etched-in-stone roommate agreement to make him consider her as a potential roommate.
The executive producer said that this arrangement will not affect the main plot of the show as long as at the end of the day, everyone gets to sit down, eat dinner, and share their day in that same old living room. And of course, Sheldon gets to sit in his "spot".
Millions per episode for main cast
Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco have been reported to get a million US dollars per episode of "The Big Bang Theory". Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz) and Kunal Nayyar (Raj Koothrappali) each bags $750,000 per episode. Mayim Bialik (Amy Farrah Fowler) and Melissa Rauch (Bernadette Rostenkowski) takes $100,000 per episode.
There are reports that Nayyar and Helberg are asking for a raise, considering that they have been in the show for years and have nearly the same amount of screen time with the other main stars of the show.
Bialik and Rauch, on the other hand, are earning only 10% of what the three main cast are getting.
Release date of Season 10
Stay tuned for Season 10 of "The Big Bang Theory", which will air Monday, September 19 on CBS.
