In a new book "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series," star Jim Parsons recalls wanting to fight to keep Mayim Bialik's character on the show.
Originally appearing in one episode, Bialik's character Amy Farrah Fowler was introduced as a romantic interest for Sheldon. "There was some negative attention when I joined the cast because some people held Sheldon very near and dear to them and didn't want him to change or become a cheesy boyfriend," Bialik shared in the new book "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series," per Entertainment Weekly.

Parsons' recalls thinking of Bialik's addition to the show in the season three finale, "'I will not let this character go without a fight.' That was notable for me, only in that I almost never disagreed with the writers."
