The TV Addict has posted a self-titled, “The Most Outlandish How I Met Your Mother Theory You Will Ever Read” story. What makes it so outlandish? Take a look below to find out why!
Do you fancy yourself a How I Met Your Mother fan that may-or-may-not have spent the better part of the past seven seasons scratching your head over who the identity of the titular mother is? Are you absolutely convinced that you’ve examined every single possible angle? Well, think again, because what we’re about to share with you is more shocking that Monday’s cliffhanger that saw Ted profess his love to Robin again!
What if Ted’s future wife is none other than his current small screen daughter Lyndsy Fonseca!
Would you believe that the idea of using the very grown up Nikita star — who naturally bares more than a passing resemblance to footage she shot well over eight years ago — has actually been bandied about in the How I Met Your Mother writer’s room. “We thought about it!” explained co-creator and executive producer Carter Bays during a recent one-on-one with theTVaddict.com. “There has been the pitch on the table to make Lyndsy Fonseca the mother because she looks exactly like her and she’ll be nine years older or however much older than she was when the show began.”
And while Bays was quick to point out that such an outlandish idea probably won’t come to fruition (“That was just an idea, one that I don’t think we’re actually going to do.”) he did admit to having shot footage of Ted’s children for use when the big reveal does inevitably occur. “We definitely shot some stuff, crossing our fingers, knocking on wood that someday the show would be on at a time when they’re much older and we won’t be able to convincingly have the actors [Lyndsy Fonseca and David Henrie] sitting in the room a foot taller,” said Bays. “So yeah we shot some stuff that we had not used yet.”
Cooler still, clues as to the actual identity of the mother — you know, for those of who who are into that sort of thing — will be coming soon. Very soon. “More and more so as we move into the final phase of the show we’ll be starting to get to know her a little more before we meet her,” revealed Bays. “The episode we’re currently shooting that’s going to air in late February, we’re going to see a little more of her and get a little more information about the mother.”

E! Online has posted two new spoilers regarding everyone’s favourite comedy, How I Met Your Mother. For anyone wishing to remain spoiler free, do no read any further! Otherwise, take a look below:
I need Barney and Robin scoop from HIMYM!
Well, how are you feeling about Ted and Robin getting back together? Yeah, we don’t like it either, but apparently that’s not stopping Ted (Josh Radnor). In the Feb. 20 episode, Ted will confess his true feelings to Robin (Cobie Smolders).Those HIMYM pictures you posted of Barney and Quinn did not make me happy! Are those two really going to date?
Full disclosure? We’re both dreading and excited for Quinn’s debut on HIMYM because although we are Barney-Robin shippers to the core, we love us some Becky Newton. Looking a few weeks ahead to the episode titled “Karma’s A Bitch,” creator Craig Thomas told us that it’s where we see Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) “realize that he is really falling for her and we the audience know that she’s kind of playing him a little bit.” We’ll see the duo in a strip club (where else?) and witness Quinn hustle some poor innocent fella into spending a small fortune on her while Barney is preoccupied with a previous conquest. But when we flat-out called Quinn the ol’ B-word, Thomas was quick to correct us: “She’s not so much bitchy as she has a twinkle in her eye.” Hmmm…interesting.

Ask Ausiello has posted two new How I Met Your Mother spoilers. Please be advised, if you wish to remain spoiler free do not read further!
Question: Any news on how long Kal Penn is sticking around on How I Met Your Mother?
Ausiello: I don’t think much longer. Exec producer Craig Thomas says an upcoming episode will find Robin realizing that “the waters don’t run as deep with Kevin as they do with Barney.” Or, for that matter, Ted, who come February will be forced to deal with his unresolved feelings for Robin. “Stuff happens that makes Ted and Robin question their living arrangements,” adds fellow EP Carter Bays. “When they broke up back in Season 2 they asked themselves the question, ‘Where do you see yourself in five years?’ Robin thought she’d be living [overseas]. And now it’s five years later and she is still in this apartment, exactly where she was when Ted asked that question. There’s an episode where they literally do the five-year reassessment off that one line in their breakup in Season 2.”Question: Will we definitely learn in the HIMYM season finale who Barney is marrying?
Ausiello: Yes. And that’s not the only precious piece of intel we’ll uncover during the flash-forward. “There’s a huge thing we’re going to learn going back to the future wedding day,” teases Bays. “I don’t want to say what it is though.”
After posting an original song on YouTube asking Jason Segel out for a drink, super fan Chelsea Gill’s dreams came true when the How I Met Your Mother star contacted the Chicago resident and asked her to be his date to the Chicago Film Critic Awards last weekend, and the actor’s “HIMYM” co-stars say they would expect nothing less from their charming castmate.
“Jason’s a super lovely guy,” Neil Patrick Harris told AccessHollywood.com’s Laura Saltman when asked about his co-star’s YouTube date at the People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday. “He does stuff like that, and authentically. It wasn’t for any kind of agenda.”
Cobie Smulders echoed NPH’s Segel sentiment, saying, “Jason Segel is the nicest man alive. I think he respects and appreciates his fans.”
Could How I Met Your Mother live on in some form after viewers finally meet the Mother? TVLine tossed that provocative question out to executive producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas at an intimate lunch the pair hosted for a handful of news outlets on Wednesday. Their response? It’s not out of the realm of possibility.
“That’s come up,” Bays said of a spinoff that would allow them to bring current Mother mystery arc to a satisfying conclusion — perhaps at the end of Season 8 — and then possibly relaunch the show with a slightly tweaked premise and title (i.e. What Happened After I Met Your Mother).
“We’ve had conversations about rewinding back to 2005 and doing a series called How I Met Your Father,” Thomas revealed with a laugh. “From the perspective of what was happening with the Mother all those years. Occasionally, she’ll stumble through McLaren’s and no one will see her.”
Bays floated another idea that similarly involved turning back the clock. “One way to go is to finish the [mother] story at the end of Season 8, and then Season 9 is, ‘Oh, by the way kids, I left some stuff out…,’” he explained. “And then it’s just 24 little stories that took place over the course of the series here and there. Like, ‘Here’s something funny that happened in 2006.’”
Given the ratings growth Mother has enjoyed in its current seventh season, it’s not difficult to understand why CBS and producer 20th Century Fox TV would want to keep the franchise going — either in its current form or an altered one. Either way, Bays hopes to have some resolution on the matter soon (the series has already been renewed through Season 8.)
“We’ve already started discussions with [20th] about letting them know we need some lead time because we do have a story we want to tell and we see how quickly or slowly we should be telling this story,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll get an answer to that in time. It’s a hard thing,” Bays continued. “Obviously, we don’t ever want to keep the show on longer than it needs to, just like we don’t want to end it before it should end. But it’s the best job any of us have ever had.”
