I know, shocking! Want to reveal something about Amy's dad? Have the topic of dads come up because [reasons], Sheldon asks her about her dad because she never mentioned him - and you're done! It's not something that would derail the show or whatever. Still reacting off Sheldon making him the central plot point not an independent story line for Amy Edited February 27, 2016 by JE7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not something that would derail the show or whatever. It's as simple as the "Amy is allergic to avocados" disclosure during the S/A & L/P double date. A simple comment that Sheldon made revealed something about a characters backstory, two lines and a character is a little more fleshed out.

It is but not enough for her to rise above a supporting role or a charecter whose loss would be unrecoverable for the show as the big three would be Even Howard whose loss would be keenly felt isn't that important to the premise as long as the big three are there its TBBT lose one of them and the premise changes Edited February 27, 2016 by JE7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has had storylines away from Sheldon. But no one on the show has an individual storyline that doesn't involve another character. Where does this put Bernadette now she is pregnant?

She could be a seldom or never seen stay at home mom and the show would go on just as it did before she was introduced. It has nothing to do with whether the charecter is liked but are they essential to the core premise of the show as that is what TPTB are clinging to She has a purpose but is that purpose one that can only be fulfilled by that specific charecter and I think the answer is no Penny could get a new friend, Sheldon could revert or get a new gf and the show would carry on Edited February 27, 2016 by JE7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that adding that piece of information would made her a primary character all at once... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kazzie Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Why is this conversation even happening? Every character has a purpose to the show and relating story either it be main or supporting. The show will change directions at times, and those characters involved will be apart of that change. Every character on BBT has been utilized to be needed for an event to happen. Yes it can happen other ways, But the journey it's taken so far has needed these characters. And they are all needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kazzie Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 It still had a purpose though, Which also involved many other characters. A pretty big one actually. What I'm trying to say is. Not even plot needs to be singular for it to be purposeful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
