"The Big Bang Theory" Season 7 is slated to premiere on Thursday, September 26, 2013, with two back to back episodes. The first episode of the new season is expected to show close bonding between Penny (Kelly Cuoco) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and there will be sharing of intimate secrets, too.

Also, it looks like Sheldon will be getting a chance to bond with Leonard's (Johnny Galecki) genius mother, again. Christine Baranski, who portrays the role of Leonard's mother, Beverly, will make an appearance in one of the episodes of "The Big Bang Theory," according to TVLine report.

The report says that Beverly will use Skype to make her appearance in the episode that is scheduled to air on October 10, 2013. Christine is currently shooting for "Good Wife" on the East Coast, making it difficult for her to do in-person appearances for "The Big Bang Theory."

Huffington Post had earlier reported that Regina King, who plays the role of Ms Davis, the director of human resources at Caltech, will be reprising her role in the new season of "The Big Bang Theory."

Actress Mayim Bialik's wish is finally coming true as her character Amy and Howard (Simon Helberg) are doing some scenes together, away from their noisy group. "I finally get to have some scenes with the Wolowitz character," Mayim Bialik says, as quoted by E! Online. "We've never had scenes alone, and it involves singing and it's awesome."

Mayim now has double reasons to celebrate as she has got herself a huge pay hike, as well. Deadline.com reports that Mayim and Melissa Rauch, who plays Bernadette in the hit sitcom, have successfully renegotiated their current pay -- $20,000 to $30,000. Both the actresses are likely to take home almost double of what they are currently earning - nearly $60,000 per episode.

With Melissa and Mayim pay "steadily increasing every year, it may reach "close to $100,000 an episode by the end of their contracts," according to Deadline.com.

The hour-long premiere of "The Big Bang Theory" Season 7 consists of two episodes: "The Hofstadter Insufficiency" and "The Deception Verification."
