However, Lorre would agree that the scene was regrettable.
“Doing a show within a show — writing the ‘bad’ scenes that she’s in, in an otherwise good show — was not our finest moment. The goal was legitimate, which was to put her in a bad move and see her struggling to make something work,” he admitted.
Lorre and company had other regrets along the way for Penny's character, which included the awkward storyline with Raj, when the two were caught in bed together. Following that finale, the writers spent their time off trying to fix that mistake and confirm that nothing had ever happened.
