'Big Bang Theory' promotes Melissa Rauch to series regular - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Talk about a genius move: The Big Bang Theory has quietly promoted the hilarious and very much in-demand Melissa Rauch — a.k.a. Howard’s main squeeze Bernadette — to a series regular.

Although Rauch’s deal doesn’t call for her to appear in every episode (and may or may not continue past this season), the upgrade is a nice vote of confidence for the actress — particularly since Bernadette was only meant to be around for an episode or two.

It also gives producers the security of knowing Rauch — who played Hoyt’s scarily devoted girlfriend in season 3 of True Blood — won’t get poached by another show.

I wholeheartedly approve!

Great move by the BBT producers. Bernadette is a great character and I'm glad were going to watch her relationship with Howard continue to develop. I just hope this works out better for Melissa Rauch than it did for the last actress to be promoted to series regular. That was Melissa Gilbert who on the show for less than a season and hasn't been seen on BBT since.

You're absolutely right. I did mean to say Sara Gilbert not Melissa. I apologize for my slip of the keyboard.
