cityylights Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) but you see, tbbt is currently Mayim's biggest obligation. as everyone's been saying here, she is contractually obligated to be in all 24 episodes. should there be breach of contract, she may be required to pay penalties amounting to maybe thousands of dollars. so the fact that she wasn't in one must mean something really important came up that she was willing to set aside tbbt. also, she said she will only be off the grid until last Saturday. she usually updates her Twitter and IG on a daily basis. however, it's been 4 days and we still haven't heard from her. based from personal observation, and maybe i'm wrong, but Mayim usually goes off the grid only when (1) there are special holidays, shabbat, etc (2) she's abroad, in a country with very low cell service or (3) she's upset about something. also, she updates her Kveller blog every Monday. this week, we got nothing. i just really think it strange that she was not in the latest episode considering it was a perfect opportunity to show Mary + Sheldon + Amy interactions, plus the fact that we haven't heard from her since last week. or maybe, you're right and she just has some overlapping talking engagements / seminars / photoshoots to attend to and the episode needed very little screen time from her that she decided to tape on a different day instead. still, you can't blame us for being a little worried.

CaffeineBuzz Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Its just very, very unlike her to a) not be in an episode, not come back as scheduled from a social media break for a holiday. Heck she's not even liking any of her castmates pics on instagram. I'm just worried because it is so strange for her. I'm with Kerry on this one. I don't really care about the Shamy or no Shamy in the finale. At this point I just want some confirmation she's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldorslady Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I have been wondering if she has been sitting shiva for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notchinc Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I have been wondering if she has been sitting shiva for someone. Explain, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge-Apatow Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Explain, please. Shiva is a Jewish tradition. After someone dies the family stays in the house for seven days in order to pay respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldorslady Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Shiva is a Jewish tradition. After someone dies the family stays in the house for seven days in order to pay respects. It makes sense to me with the lack of social media. We will know in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaffeineBuzz Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Actually we can do the math on this one. Going with the protocols of Shiva and knowing Mayim's instagram habits, if someone did die, it was after she went off grid. So that would be sometime between Friday and Saturday last week. Assuming Saturday being the latest date it would have happened, then she would be sitting Shiva til this Saturday. So we will know in time. Given that we've heard nothing about her absence, Shiva would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjax Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I think this is probably the reason of her absence... I´m following all tbbt actors and they seems very "off " lately... Hope she can be fine for the last episode... final ep without Amy jokes will not be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelshamyfan Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hmmm that could make sense....especially that the cold opening wasn't shown at the taping and she was scheduled to have a scene in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrycec03 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Shiva is a Jewish tradition. After someone dies the family stays in the house for seven days in order to pay respects. You only sit shiva for the full 7 days if its immediate family. I hope its not but at this point it makes the most sense.

ShamyLove96 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I've done a Google search and found that Mayim is supposed to be doing a talk on Sunday.

nusspot Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yeah, I'm starting to think that is the case. I guess we'll be hearing from her after Shabbat, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the link http://www.jewishjournal.com/yom_hashoah/article/yom_hashoah_events_2015 Yeah, but if you go to the actual event page on the museum's website, she's not listed to speak anymore. http://www.lamoth.org/news--events/events/yom-hashoah-2015/ Instead they have a special performance by another actor-musician. She probably had to cancel because of whatever's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrycec03 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) with each day I get more and more concerned. Cause today is over a week now since we've last heard from her. She would have in theory come back on Sunday.... Edited April 17, 2015 by kerrycec03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrycec03 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 more proof something personal is going on that's pretty big!! For her to cancel on something she is so publicly passionate about is alarming!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Pollard Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 All the more reason to just let it be. Whatever is going on will resolve itself in due time. Getting worried and upset over something that you can't do anything about (and is none of our business anyway) is pointless. And weren't some of us just saying not too long ago that Mayim should lean to practice that whole "discretion is the better part of valor" thing when it comes to social media? Now that it seems like she's doing just that, some people are upset about it. Poor woman can't win for losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrycec03 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Martin, we're not upset...more concerned....and I see nothing wrong with that. Trust me, I'm not one of the fans directly contacting her on social media. I actually would never do that. I understand and respect her privacy.

It is a bit strange as she is a very prolific Social Media user. If this was Melissa it would not be strange because she known to not tweet for several days on end. Same with. Simon who hasn't tweeted in Three weeks but again it not concerning as he not on as much as Mayin either Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBigBangTheoryFan Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Just sent this Tweet to Mayim just a shout out nothing to personal or nosey, hope it doesn't come off that way: @JordanRSalois: Hi @missmayim Hope you are doing well. have a nice day.

Actually, that's perfect. Lets her know that a fan is thinking of her, yet gives her the freedom to not respond if she wishes (or respond if she wishes). A win-win all around.

MariaAlbina Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If she was sitting shiva she doesn't sit for Shabbat. So she could still be sitting Sunday. But then again, some people decide to sit for fewer days. But like Kerry said, its only for immediate family members, and I'm hoping that's not the case here.
