First the good news: Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco is expected to make a full recovery in the wake of a weekend horseback-riding accident that left her with a fractured leg.

Now the bad news: It looks like the CBS hitcom will be Penny-less for more than one episode.

Although a Warner Bros. spokesperson declined to comment, a Big Bang source confirms that Cuoco—who remains hospitalized in Los Angeles—is now expected to miss “a few” episodes; initial reports had her missing just a single episode.

Additionally, the show—which was previously scheduled to go on hiatus next week—will shut down production for an additional week. Producers will use the extra downtime to determine how best to explain Cuoco’s absence onscreen

This doesn't surprise me at all. I know that a broken leg takes longer than a week or two to heal so I was expecting that she would miss more episodes. It will be interesting to see how the writers deal with this situation.

i would write it in - make it Sheldon's fault, see how he deals with guilt.

...also maybe Howard will think it will be easier to go after her now that she can't run away.

I wonder how many choruses of "Soft Kitty" Sheldon would sing for a broken leg?

That would be a good idea or else the shows current course in terms of storyline will be affected.

how about they say that penny got a small part in a movie that is shooting out of town i know that its proably overused but in the context of penny being a struggling actress it would at least make sense
