Carter Bays, writer and creator of
How I Met Your Mother shared some season 7 secrets with Entertainment Weekly yesterday.
Season 6 ended on a birghter note for Marshall Eriksen who found out his wife, Lily, was finally pregnant. The couple had been trying to have a baby for a while but faced fertility issues while Marshall had been struggling with unemployment and the death of his father.
Bays made it very clear that things would keep looking up for Marshall who would definitely be employed in the Season 7 premiere. He also revealed that actor Martin Short will be joining the cast as Marshall`s new boss.
“You’ll see Marshall get settled into work in a really funny way. We knew that we wanted him to have a funny boss. Martin Short and Jason Segel in a work environment felt like a perfect combination,” says Bays.
As for Barney and Robin, it really looked like there was something going on between them. The episode ended with a glimpse into Barney`s future, which by the way included a wedding. Although Robin seems to be falling for Barney at the end, Barney appears to be swooning over Nora (so it seems.) When asked about Barney`s love life, Bays was very secretive.
“There will be some twists and turns now that Nora [actress Nazanin Boniadi] is back in the picture.”
I like Robin and Barney together so if his character is going to ever get married, it should be to her, not Nora.
As for Ted, I have become drained by all the waiting to meet his wife (the mother) and wont even pretend that I care about him as a character anymore. I think 6 seasons is long enough. Give us the mother`s identity and I will get back to being interested in Ted.
So in the end, we only know a little more, but I think it was just enough to keep our interest peaked over the summer hiatus.
