Kaley Cuoco was confused when she learned that co-star Jim Parsons wanted to leave ‘The Big Bang Theory’.
Cuoco, who played Penny on the long-running sitcom, recently told Variety about her time on “The Big Bang Theory” and how the news of Parsons’ imminent departure left her “in shock.”
Jim said, ‘I don’t think I can move on,’ revealed Cuoco, 35,. “And I was so shocked that I literally thought, ‘Continue with what?’ As if I didn’t even know what he was talking about, I looked at it [show creator] Chuck [Lorre]: ‘Wow. I thought we were [filming season 13] – I’m so overwhelmed now. ”
At the start of filming season 12, Cuoco revealed a conversation she had with co-star Johnny Galecki about the prospect of filming a possible season 13: “‘Do we want to do it?’ And we really did. “

“That was the one thing we all agreed on – we got together, we went out together,” she added.

“I said,” I think this is a great character. I think this could be a really great show, “she explained in a virtual panel at the Television Critics Association in August.” And they took me to [executive producer] Steve [Yockey] and then they took us to [writer] Greg Berlanti and [producer] Sarah Shechter and it just kept rolling … And I still can’t believe we’re talking about this at TCA. “
