I expect they'll have a recording of her voice like last week's, or perhaps a pretape.

I understood the week before was pretape. I don't expect her to be in tonight episode at all even just her Voice, he had a baby just yesterday. Maybe they could say she hat her parent or totally ignore where Bernadette is and not show any scenes at the house leaving us to presume she a home or someplace.

Do you think they won't have some recordings already made ?

They had just her voice in the last episode. So probably just the same. Hopefully its a fun episode. Hoping too for a Lenny plot.

Well we've had a Shamy plot and Rajard one so it's time for a Lenny one.

No TBBT Writers and Producers don't work that way. They wrote the script for this week Epsidoe two weeks ago and The cast got it last week by which point Melissa was on Maternity leave. The Epsidoe with her voice was right when her ML started

So they never make voice recordings in advance ? That's interesting. I didn't know that.

Some may or probably do but they show wouldn't because they would not know what Epidoe be about until last week. As I said this show doesn't really have prepared scripts ready to go for 3 or 4 episodes in advance like shows usually do

So not even the writers know what it's going to be about ? I imagined if the cast got their scripts on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning the writers would already have it written,

[vonmar]

They have several options..

They could have had her record different random  lines, which you would hear her yelling from upstairs at the Wolowitz house.

She could have recorded dialog from home, she was pregnant not incapacitated.

They could have Howard (or others) talking to her on the phone, 

They could tap into the hundreds of lines she has already spoken and spliced them in.

They've know about Melissa's pregnancy for a while and I'm sure that they had a plan in place for when she was going to be off set.  These people aren't amateurs.

The Writer's do but not the cast.  The script the Writers write this week is the one The cast will get next week

Thought so. I think they'll have a stack of recordings of Bernie to choose from to fit whatever storyline they come up with. Or they'll just write it without her in it. We'll know soon.

The writers are two weeks ahead.  While they are still fine tuning this script during today's taping, the next script is being delivered to the cast tonight in advance of tomorrows table read.

And after that they'll have four weeks off, after which Melissa will be back to some extent ?

They go back to work on January 3rd.  She's entitled to a maternity leave, so it's hard to tell.  That would be pretty soon for her to return to work.

Yes it's less than five weeks but she might be able to tape a little bit from home. Actors are made of strong stuff.

If Melissa want's to go in, to record some audio, or even have audio recorded at her home (they did audio with Carol Ann Suzi in the hospital),  next week, she could well do that, IF SHE WANTS TO DO THAT.  

As has been pointed out, they had a script done, at the latest, last Tuesday, and probably a few days before last Tuesday.   They could have recorded her lines, for tonights taping, last Monday.  Hell, Mayim was back at work the next day, with her hand.  I wouldn't expect to see Melissa, on set, until either the 9th or 16th of January (hoping for the 16th).

Yes, actors are.   Especially stage actors, and those in Community theatres, where there is no stand in.  So, being sick or injured really isn't an option.

I know one actor who did the show with a 104 fever.  She came off stage, after one of her scenes, and go right to a garbage can to throw up

 I did a show in the middle of a very bad Fibromyalgia flare up.  Go out, did my scene, and as soon as I got off stage, I basically collapsed onto a chair, until my next scene.   I went around apologizing for doing so bad, and was told it was one of my better performances.  Didn't know whether to be proud, or offended.

Mayim was very brave. Actors are like that. I was on diamorphine in hospital for a fortnight with my hand. It will be funny to see Bernadette with her artifical baby bump knowing Melissa has had her baby in real life.

They may not have to use it.  Since the character is on bed rest, they could very well hid the fact that Melissa is no longer pregnant, even though Bernadette is.

Yes. They could do that. Some expectant mothers are on bedrest for months if they have certain complications. Sometimes they are in bed in hospital.

It's time they were out. No finale scenes on Alex's instagram yet.

Will Johnny miss a taping? I've seen that he's doing Roaseane and thanked TBBT for "borrowing" him.

I think he might be in the episode, but with a somehow light episode. The writers try to accommodate this way the actors when they have some other work commitments during the week.

It tapes it on December 8th.
