"Melissa Rauch has been promoted to a series regular on The Big Bang Theory. Rauch joined the show last year as Bernadette, a love interest for Howard (Simon Helberg). Entertainment Weekly says that the actress, who originally signed up for a couple of episodes, has now become a full cast member on the show. Rauch&amp;#039;s deal does not mean that she will be in every episode and it is not yet clear whether she will remain a regular after this season. Rauch has previously appeared on Kath &amp;amp; Kim and played Summer in the third season of True Blood. The Big Bang Theory continues on Thursdays at 8/7c on CBS.
