"The Big Bang Theory co-creator Bill Prady has promised that the next season will include &amp;quot;good, nerdy storytelling&amp;quot;. The showrunner told TV Line that there will be less of a focus on romance in the CBS sitcom&amp;#039;s fifth run. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re going to put Leonard (Johnny Galecki) in a long-distance relationship with Priya (Aarti Mann),&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;It winds up putting romantic things on hold for a while, and gives us a chance to get back to some good, nerdy storytelling.&amp;quot; Prady also admitted that he is looking forward to resolving the cliffhanger ending to the show&amp;#039;s fourth season, in which Penny (Kaley Cuoco) slept with Raj (Kunal Nayyar). &amp;quot;Every year, we&amp;#039;ve left ourselves a big mess at the end of the season,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s fun to do, and we also like things complicated for Leonard and Penny.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re working right now on untangling the mess we left.&amp;quot; The Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki previously suggested that Leonard will eventually get back together with Penny, while his co-star Kaley Cuoco denied that the pair will reunite in the foreseeable future. The series will return to Thursdays at 8/7c in the fall. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
