The Untold Truth Of Their Relationship

After Roseanne's original run wrapped in 1997, Galecki and Gilbert have become longtime collaborators. But the idea of reuniting on screen wasn't always a given.

The pair made headlines when they did so for first time a decade later on The Big Bang Theory. Sara had a recurring role as Dr. Leslie Winkle, a super brainy, sarcastic love interest for Galecki's Leonard. 

"That was not as premeditated as it seems," Galecki told the AV Club in 2010, admitting, "I had a concern ... that it would come off as gimmicky." But the actor added, "The truth of the matter is that life's just too short to not work with people that you adore working with and spending time with. So she came on."

Since then, the two have often brought each other onto their new projects, including Gilbert's The Talk, the Roseanne reboot, and Galecki's Living Biblically. "She was always on the list before there was a character list," the actor-turned-executive producer told Variety in 2018, jokingly adding, "And then I made her audition."
