Christine Baranski's in LA this week. Could we see Beverly's return tomorrow night?? Wednesday morning could tell us...............

I hope so. It's time to bring in some Lenny in-law episodes, even if they aren't getting married this season. Leonard's been too comfortable, he's funnier when he's squirming. Plus I'd love to see her interacting with amy. Edited by Tomasina

I think she'll find it remarkable that Sheldon is in love. 

 

And I'd love to see Beverly shows some affection towards Leonard someday!

One of my fav episodes is Raiders particularly Bevs involvwment. I agree with the sentiment Leonards funnier when hes under some form of anxiety. Bev offers that. Fans love to hate her, but as a character shes brilliant. Hoping for some Bevenny interaction if theoretically speaking shes part of the taping :p.

Nope, she ruined her son's childhood because of a scientific research and showed no remorse whatsoever.

So if it was real life a mother as horrible as she is cant possibly exist haha. But in a comedy, different story. I enjoy how she provides that dynamic of tension, provides alot of comedy. I have also enjoyed her interaction with Penny. I can see your point of view. But being Leonards mother, the only one hes going to have unfortunately. We well prob see her at some point.

I have always been intrigued by the Beverly dynamic. It's always ironic how Sheldon and Leonard wish they had the others mother.

Yeah thats the things all great comedies have had that horrible character. It could be a mother, your boss etc. Of course Bev is horrible thats her role in the show. To cause anxiety and tension. Alot of comedies have that one character. Does it excuse her behaviour? No. But its still a comedy, and thats her role. I have also enjoyed the irony between Mary and Beverly. You would think Mary would be Leonards mother. And Bev Sheldons. But in a way Leonard needed a mother like Bev, to gain a thick skin.

Most of the character of Leonard has been showing hes the strongest character in the show. Putting up with Bev, Sheldon etc. But he has overcomed alot of adversity and is central equalbrilium is truly settled. Thats where is attraction to Penny lies beyond a physical attraction. She offers warmth and love, something he never had growing up. Something Sheldon got alot haha, and envied Leonards upbringing. I always liken Beverly and Evelyn from Taahm. Hold Leonard in no regard, but I truley beleive like Sheldon she does love Leonard. Unlike Sheldon she just hasent had the time to explore it.

Also, the Beverly part in Raiders episode was just disturbing for me. Because of her involvement I ended up hating Penny in that episode despite the fact that Leonard was the one in wrong there. I just thought that forcing him to re live his childhood traumas as a punishment was beyond cruel, not to mention that the whole thing started with Penny refusing to stop reading the book written by Beverly (book based on childhood abuse inflicted on him) despite Leonard's pleas and I didn't find it funny at all. Maybe if she only teased him and then decided to withhold sex for some time but that... Edited by Mislav

I don't mind Beverly, but I think they've kind of painted her into a corner as far as how she interacts with Leonard and with the gang.  Because she's so aloof and distant from Leonard, that kind of limits the ways they can interract, or it seems to.  For her to have a realy heart-to-heart with Leonard, they'd have to spend half the episode setting it up or something.

They can have her say and do outrageous things--in that way, she's very like Sheldon or even Amy in that she doesn't have much of a filter.  So she can talk about Leonard's childhood in a very clinical manner and psychoanayze everyone around her.  She's an exaggeration and something of a cartoon to add big comedy, but I don't think she's evil or anything.

Yes but Leonard wasn't dating anyone and was not Married or Engaged either.  Sheldon is dating Amy. Let keep Infidelity out of the show.

Maybe Shamy breaks up on this episode. it could be like Ross and Rachel and Sheldon could say they were on s break.

Why would he want to hook up with Mrs. H?

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Beverly is in this episode, but I would be surprised if it was about an actual break up.  I wouldn't be surprised if Sheldon and Amy were to hit a bump (it's been a little too good lately), but very surprised if it was serious enough for a break up.

 

And certainly not serious enough for Sheldon to experiment with Bev.  Even if he wanted to, which he doesn't, I don't think she would.

Ohhh I like this idea ;). But seriously Shamy havent really had alot of adversity have they. Havent any real serious issues to deal with like a fully fledged break up. But I cant see Sheldon getting drink and sleeping with a random women lol.

Eta: obviously were joking Shamies well I am anyway ;)
