WATCH!: Let’s talk about Season 8. Is it the last one?
NEIL: We don’t have any idea. I think we’re all operating on the assumption that there may be a ninth season, but enjoying Season 8 as if it’s our last.
WATCH!: What did you think when you found out Robin is Barney’s mystery bride?
COBIE: I found out halfway into last season when we started hooking up and I was cheating on Kal [Penn]. I can’t remember his character’s name since [sultry voice] there are so many men in my TV life.
WATCH!: You throw the kitty around.
COBIE: Is that like … I’ve never heard that. I’m going to steal that. Next on-screen interview I do, I will be saying that. So, anyway, Neil and I had just started to hook up again and I went to [co-creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas] and was like, “What’s happening?” When it’s anything with cheating, I feel really guilty and weird about it. So I was like, “Can you tell me where we’re going from here?”
WATCH!: So will Robin and Barney actually make it down the aisle?
NEIL: That’s a tricky element to our show—they spin us in directions that we don’t end up. We haven’t filmed anything where we’re having the actual wedding. But a lot of Season 8 will take place at the wedding and around it. So that would certainly be shocking if they didn’t actually end up getting married.
WATCH!: Do you guys want them to end up together?
COBIE: I really like the two characters together. I think they’re an interesting coupling, because they both fight commitment so much that coming together is a very brave thing to do. It also sets up a lot of comedy and conflict.
