It seems to me they brought in a wide range of different characters/actresses to see which ones worked with our heroes. They're like the Jewish mothers(cliche), that has to match up their sons, with whom they see as correct. I can see H and B working(even though she's catholic, and annoys the hell out of me!). But Amy for Sheldon, are they crazy! She is, as someone has indicated, a succubus vulture. As you say, he's unique and complete in his own right. It isn't a transformation/growth, but a fundamental destruction of his core being that's required to match him to Amy. And the idea that L and P were set from the beginning is just wrong. Since John Cage incorporated the accident that works into art, as part of the whole Zen/death of the author, they should have realised that creativity is an 'open process'. Hopefully future writers will learn from this!
