Kaley Cuoco extends hiatus after injury, will return to Big Bang Theory

[Ian David]

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.

The source points out that Big Bang‘s air schedule will not be impacted by the disruption, which comes as the series is making a high-profile move to Thursday nights. Judging by how well Sheldon & Co. performed in repeats last night, industry analysts (read: me) expect next week’s fourth-season premiere to trounce the competition.

4. So, that's where she's been?

I hadn't heard of the accident, but i'm not that stunned, for I did notice that she hadn't been on the show for the past few weeks. Oddly enough, it never occcured to me that she wasn't coming back. I think regardless of how much one likes her character, or any of the others, the show would not be the same, if they got rid of any of them.
