Due to a publicity-related commitment on the part of Kaley Cuoco, the Big Bang Theory actress will no longer be appearing in the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. As I’d mentioned previously, Grey’s had come a-knockin’ on Cuoco’s door and she’d answered with an enthusiastic yes. Despite the mystery surrounding her character, everything seemed set for her arrival on the set this week.
Alas, a spokesperson for Cuoco has released the following statement: “Due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts on behalf of The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco regrettably will be unable to guest star on the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. Kaley is a big fan of Grey’s Anatomy and hopes to work with them in the future.”
A rep then e-mailed EW to clarify that the conflict was publicity-related rather than production-related.
I’m really disappointed by this news, as I was really excited about Cuoco appearing in Grey’s. Maybe next season?
UPDATE: The publicity conflict now blamed on CBS. Kaley Cuoco’s replacement announced.
