THE BIG BANG THEORY’: WOLOWITZ WEDDING THIS SEASON?
Is there a more romantic story than two nerds in love? If so, I don’t want to know.
But while Wolowitz and Bernadette are certainly two geeks meant to be, don’t look for them to make it down the aisle any time soon. Like any hubby and wife-to-be, they have some major obstacles to cross first. No. 1 on the list? Meeting with the parent.
I teased earlier that an upcoming episode would find Bernadette and Wolowitz’s mom in a confrontation — but the results are disastrous. Like, hospitalization required.
“It’s potentially one of the worst daughter-in-law/mother-in-law situations I’ve heard of,” executive producer Bill Prady says. “And I think the person who comes out the least good in all of this is Howard. He’s caught between — I mean, look who he’s caught between! He’s caught between that mother and the woman he loves.” No easy task, indeed.
But even though it’s mom who ends up in a hospital bed, Prady says fans of the loud-talking character shouldn’t worry. “I don’t think anything can kill that woman. I think she represents a level of tenacity that is not found elsewhere in nature.”
In the realm of slightly smaller battles, Howard will also soon find himself defending not his relationship, but his ego! “Bernadette gets her Ph.D., which is the academic equivalent of ‘my girlfriend makes more than me,’” Prady laughs. “She also looks like she’s headed toward a job that’s going to pay a lot of money. So it’s a double whammy on Howard’s male ego.”
