i won't get into my theory about robin and definitely, maybe right now. // cbs promotional photo
TV Guide spilled today that Joanna Garcia, who most recently guested on Gossip Girl, will soon play another love interest of Ted’s on How I Met Your Mother. She’ll play a college friend of Ted’s with whom he never hooked up but kind of always wanted to. Now, Ted finds out she’s single and senses a window of opportunity to finally get with the girl next door.
Along with news that Rachel Bilson’s also guesting–and rumored to potentially be the mother–seems like Ted’s got some pretty serious prospects on his hands. (And I like both of these actresses a hell of a lot more than I like Sarah Chalke.)
That said, my hopes are still high that Alicia Silverstone, who was on board a couple seasons ago before Britney Spears upstaged her, will show up eventually and save the day.
