Zack Johnson (Brian Thomas Smith)
Last Seen: Season 12, Episode 15, ‘The Donation Oscillation’
Penny’s (Kaley Cuoco) ex-boyfriend Zack is an underrated Big Bang Theory supporting character, the punchline of many jokes about his intelligence and Leonard’s insecurity. However, each time he appears, he is genuinely happy to reconnect with everyone. He originally met Stuart when the guys brought him to the comic book store and convinced him to be their Superman in the annual costume contest (Season 4, Episode 11, “The Justice League Rematch”).
Zack may return if he still frequents Stuart’s store, expanding his character as well as being splatstick’s “dumb” friend.

Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar)
Last Seen: Season 12, Episode 24, ‘Stockholm Syndrome’
Stuart has more in common with Raj for the most part The Big Bang Theory, as they are both insecure and lag behind the rest of the characters when it comes to finding a partner. Raj is also the only main Big Bang Theory character who doesn’t have a supposedly happy ending, making his potential return more interesting. When he travels to Stockholm in the series finale, Raj has just broken up with Anu (Rati Gupta) and happily finds himself sitting next to Sarah Michelle Gellar at the Nobel Prize ceremony.
Raj’s arc becomes somewhat static in the final seasons of The Big Bang Theorywhen it seems like he’s always worried about the same things. Stuart also refuses to move on, as he is determined to continue living off his friends’ generosity. While Stuart moves in with Denise at the end of the series, Raj can always be a strong character for him, reminding them both that they need to take responsibility for their own lives.

Wil Wheaton
Last Seen: Season 12, Episode 16, ‘The D&D Vortex’
Wil Wheaton was a hilarious and frequently seen guest star on The Big Bang Theoryplaying alone. Wil may also return organically as it is established that he is a regular at the comic book store and a friend of Stuart’s. as that is how Sheldon and Leonard initially met him. Inside The Big Bang TheoryIn the scenario, Wil’s stalled acting career sees a turnaround when he takes on the role of Professor Proton in the revived children’s sci-fi show.
With Wil still doing that work and Bert being a series regular, Stuart’s spinoff could still have some of the scene that is the basis of the original series. Generally, Wil’s appearances are always hilarious and break the fourth wall; it would only make this new show better. Stuart is also the host of a celebrity D&D game, invitations to which are highly coveted, which could always provide more comedy fodder.

Claire (Alessandra Toreson)
Last seen: Season 10, Episode 14, ‘The Emotion Detection Automation’
One of The Big Bang TheoryThe weak point of The Game is that the female characters who show any interest in comic books, or general fantasy or science fiction, are very few. Denise was a good addition to the cast in that regard, but Raj’s temporary girlfriend Claire was not fully explored as a character. Notably, Raj meets Claire at the comic book store, and she recruits him as a consultant on the script for a children’s space film she is writing (Season 9, Episode 14, “The Meemaw Materialization”).
From what is seen in the series, Claire has a no-nonsense and witty personality, as well as some common interests, which could make her a deadpan character to undermine everything Stuart is doing. It might also be interesting to know where your career is going, since your aspirations of being a screenwriter are never realized. While it would likely lead to some drama with Raj if he also returned, Claire has the potential to be a fun character in her own right.
6
Alice (Courtney Ford)
Last Seen: Season 5, Episode 7, ‘The Good Guy Fluctuation’
Alice is also a comic book aficionado who appears in exactly one episode of The Big Bang Theory, his only narrative role is to instigate Leonard and Priya’s (Aarti Mann) separation. This brief appearance still makes it clear that Alice is great – sassy, ​​smart and artistic. If the producers were looking for a blank slate character to go in any direction, Alice could be that, as well as a wacky callback to an especially funny episode.
Since then, Courtney Ford has also expanded her portfolio, appearing in True Blood, Revenge, DC Legends of Tomorrowand Dexter. Her career comprises several guest roles in several popular series, showcasing her versatility and potentially bringing back several fandoms. The Big Bang Theory. She’s always great as a guest star in a comedy, as she demonstrates in how I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory.
5
Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg)
Last Seen: Season 12, Episode 24, ‘Stockholm Syndrome’
It would also make a lot of sense for Howard to appear on Stuart’s show. Stuart is essentially Howard and Bernadette’s (Melissa Rauch) nanny while living with them; He may have given up his job now that the store is taking up more of his time, but he probably still wants to stay connected with the kids. Howard and Bernadette are also the least likely of the original gang to go anywhere, when they are settled with jobs and kids.
However, Howard would probably work better as a guest star, only appearing in one or two episodes. Any member of the original cast would draw a lot of attention, especially Howard. Even so, he probably still goes to the comic book store every now and then, which could turn into a two-minute Easter egg or an entire episode of shenanigans.
4
Captain Sweatpants (Ian Scott Rudolph)
Last Seen: Season 7, Episode 13, ‘The Occupation Recalibration’
“Captain Sweatpants” is seen as one of the main members of Stuart’s group of friendsin addition to Leonard and Sheldon, at the beginning of the series. It’s possible the producers are looking for old characters with a connection to Stuart that they can bring back, to give him a life outside. The Big Bang Theory. However, in the case of Sweatpants, a lot of work needs to be done to make him a good character.
For one thing, his real name is never said; he’s only nicknamed that because he always wears gray sweatpants and a superhero t-shirt. On the other hand, his character’s whole gimmick is that everyone is making fun of him. He could return as a completely different person, but they’ll need to repurpose Stuart’s old group to be more than bad jokes.
3
Neil Gaiman
Last Seen: Season 11, Episode 21, ‘The Comet Polarization’
Neil Gaiman’s cameo in an episode of The Big Bang Theory is hilarious, as he enters the comic book store several times and goes completely unnoticed by everyone else. However, he also plays a vital role in Stuart’s life, when his tweet praising the store and Stuart’s expertise transform it from a failure to a thriving business overnight. Strangely, this event is never referenced again outside of the episode in which it takes place, ignoring the fact that Stuart running a struggling store was a recurring beat throughout the entire series up to that point.
Gaiman’s brief appearances as himself were well executed, and it would be fascinating to see him return for an episode when he inadvertently changed Stuart’s life. He is generally admired by the characters, as he is also the namesake of Howard and Bernadette’s son (along with Armstrong and Diamond). On the other hand, It could also be a one-off callback or a joke that Gaiman occasionally shows up at Stuart’s store, but no one realizes he’s there.
2
Penny (Kaley Cuoco)
Last Seen: Season 12, Episode 24, ‘Stockholm Syndrome’
Penny would also be a wonderful return for the main cast. Penny’s friendship with Stuart is a little different from that of the boys, as they dated briefly in The Big Bang Theory 2nd season, and she offered him personal and professional advice several times. Despite Penny’s disdain for comics throughout the series, she has shown interest in the artistic side from time to time.
Penny would likely be the focus of any episode she appeared in, showing up to begrudgingly buy Leonard a comic book or something similar. Penny is also presumably a mother at this point, as she and Leonard are expecting at the end of the The Big Bang Theory. It has also been theorized that Leonard died sometime later The Big Bang Theorymaking Penny’s return for a brief update on her life all the more desirable.

Leslie Winkle (Sara Gilbert)
Last Seen: Season 9, Episode 17, ‘The Celebration Experimentation’
Leslie is also an absolute riot during the brief time she is The Big Bang Theory, as Leonard’s on-and-off adventure and Sheldon’s nemesis. Leslie is known for her acidic humor, easily able to show off any member of the main group. Unfortunately, she disappears from the series after her relationship with Leonard and Howard ends, making one last appearance at Sheldon’s birthday party.
However, this episode shows his true potential to return, still enjoying making fun of everyone, but doing so with the friendly air of longtime colleagues. Bert was set up to be a recurring character, which means Caltech is still a key setting where Leslie is likely still conducting research. Leslie is a character I miss a lot The Big Bang Theorywhich may now return when CBS finally produces a spinoff that isn’t a prequel.
