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 kaleycucoonline.com 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.
“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.”
According to an EW
exclusive, it seems that the “publicity conflict” blamed for Kaley
Cuoco pulling out of her scheduled Grey’s appearance is actually not a
publicity conflict after all.
Instead, CBS is being blamed. The
network apparently pulled the plug on the entire operation because
(according to an insider): “They didn’t want one of their biggest stars
appearing on one of ABC’s biggest shows. It’s that simple.”
CBS fail.
Cuoco’s replacement is now said to be Shannon Lucio, whom you might remember from The O.C. as Caleb’s illegitimate daughter.
