'Big Bang Theory' Mayim Bialik Says Courtship on TV Is A Lost Art

[Brian Damage]

The Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik has described Sheldon's decision to take Amy's hand in the season finale as "bold".

Speaking to Digital Spy at the Monte Carlo Television Festival, Bialik admitted that she has no idea what will happen next in the relationship.

"I really feel like the art of courtship has largely been lost, especially where I come from, so I think it's really sweet that we're showing a courtship," she said. "We're showing a relationship that's not in a hurry. Amy obviously would like to go faster than Sheldon, but that was a really, really sweet moment.

"And I think just as easily as that happened it can unhappen, and we can go back to the way things were before that happened."

Bialik also praised the relationship between Amy, Bernadette and Penny on the show, and revealed that she sometimes helps the writers because of her PhD in neuroscience.

"I'm pretty similar to Amy," she added. "I'm definitely on the spectrum of socially awkward. I'm not as fashion-challenged as Amy, even in my normal life when I'm not dressed by a stylist! But I think a lot of her sweetness and her trying hard is something that's definitely part of me and I do draw on that a lot for her."
