According to a Big Bang source, Spencer will be a fractional series regular in sitcom’s current ninth season. The status tweak guarantees the actress’ availability on an as-needed basis (i.e. she will not be in every episode).

Spencer has recurred on the CBS juggernaut since joining the show in Season 7.
