[Trust No One]

In the first couple of seasons, I thought Jim and Kaley were too by the pics. But now, we hardly see anything about them having any contact outside of work, but that doesn't mean they aren't. Face it, a picture from the press with a known gay man and a girl means nothing, however, ANY picture for ANY reason with Kaley and Johnny are NEWS "Are they getting back together" $$ "Have they been having an affair" $$ "Is there more then just Friendship between them" $$ "Big Bang real Romance" $$ There is Big money to be made from these pics. I'm not saying they aren't "real" friends, just I wonder how the friendship will hold up (in the long term) once they move on from the show.

I'm sure there is a big part of them "playing ball" none of the actors have shown much backbone. Otherwise Kaley/Jim and even Johnny would have put their foot down. Seriously, Johnny read that they had his character not supporting Penny, that he was showing naked pictures of the girl he supposedly loves, and then cheating on Penny (during the same time) and not once did Johnny go "My character wouldn't do that". I think at first there was a part that realized they needed the public to want them together, and see more scenes from them. Now I believe they know their "story" is over. Things didn't go as planned. The Wedding was a bust (even by the Lenny's standards) Half of the ShAmy's and all Shenny's can't stand them and even the General Public seems to be ambivalent about Penny/Leonard as a married couple. I think they know they need to fight for every bit of audience goodwill now hoping it will translate into the writers giving them more than reactionary scenes since they will spend most of their time writing Sheldon/Amy and Raj/Emily "romance/fight/make up/will they wont they" scenes.

I remember the early season cons and I thought Jim and Kaley seemed like a couple. I was probably not the only one. I'm sure this really helped to drive the Shenny. Johnny was an afterthought at these cons when Jim and Kaley turned on the charm. 

You make great points Nutz. Pictures of Johnny and Kaley would be big since they dated and everything that happened with Kaley's marriage. TPTB probably did tell them to play ball, but I think Kaley and Johnny really enjoy playing up the Lenny and KC and JG friendship. KC and JG can come out together to the crowd after tapings and it will not help much. The Lenny is married now and like the Howardette they have nowhere interesting to go. Huge mistake marrying off the Lenny.  TPTB were better off breaking up the Lenny. You have the Lenny and Shamy broken up and it opens all sort of great possibilities with the show. The show blew a great chance to breath new life back into the show.
