"The Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, who plays the free-spirited Penny in the popular CBS sitcom is pretty pumped up with their latest season and cannot wait for fans to see what they have to offer.
In fact, the actress even teased during an interview with Entertainment Tonight that her character might just have found her happily ever after with her fiancé Leonard Hofstadter (played by Johnny Galecki).
"Between Leonard and Penny, all the dreams came true for me, so I'll put it that way. I've been waiting many seasons for it! So it's good," she said.
When "The Big Bang Theory" season 8 wrapped up, Leonard and Penny were headed to Vegas to get married, but on the way there, Leonard admitted that he kissed another girl while he was on a work trip. Even though he stopped it and nothing progressed, Leonard's confession really upset Penny so fans are concerned whether or not their marriage will push through or not.
Cuoco-Sweeting was asked for more clues what to expect for the next season, but she was hard-pressed for answers. "I wish I knew more things. They don't tell us anything," she said.
What the actress can guarantee, however, is that the new season will make fans laugh harder than ever. "We've shot a couple of episodes and they're amazing. Right off the gate, I think the next one is even funnier than the first one we shot and it answers a lot of questions. We're off to a great start as usual. I'm very proud," she said.
As for her co-star Mayim Bialik, who plays Sheldon Cooper's (ex?) girlfriend Amy Farrah Fowler, she revealed that she, together with the rest of the cast, was just as shocked as fans were when Amy decided to split up from Sheldon.
"We were all shocked," Bialik said. "I think there was an audible gasp by most of the cast. That's a big ending. It means a lot for the relationship, but also for the show in general."
Aside from the break-up, they were surprised when Sheldon presented a ring, which might be intended for a proposal.
Bialik thinks their show is pretty special because the lead characters are very relatable. "We're the show about people who come to Comic-Con," she said. "We're not like those other shows. We're not here because we have that following, we're here because we're a show about that following."
