"How I Met Your Mother" Spills Bean Or Two

I was surprised by a couple of notes from a "How I Met Your Mother" cast appearance at an Emmy event in New York this weekend. The actors and producers pulled a "Lost," revealing some tantalizing tidbits without actually telling us anything, according to a Televisionista report. Most importantly, they said we've already seen the mother, a woman with an umbrella played by producer Pam Fryman. Does anyone remember what episode that was in? The circumstances?

They also said that the young actors who play Ted's two kids, to whom he's telling the story of the series, already know who the mother is. Apparently they taped some dialogue last year that revealed the secret. Wonder if that was when the show was on the bubble? With so much up in the air due to the writers strike, they might have recorded the bit as a hedge against a cancellation and the need to whip together a series finale on short notice.

And finally. Sarah Chalke will be back as Dr. Stella next season, but no one would say for how long, so it's difficult to read the tea leaves when it comes to her chances for motherhood. The writers did admit that the Barney and Robin hookup was a late call, inspired by the chemistry between Neil Patrick Harris and Cobie Smulders above) during the laser-tag episode.

I remember when the writer's strike happened and the head writer from HIMYM said that he appreciated all the fan support and that if the show never came back they should know the mother was the coat check girl. Of course, as this is a sitcom writer, it is hard to tell whether or not he was joking.

Whoever it is, I hope they also were the slutty pumpkin from the Halloween episode.

The lost umbrella episode was Saint Patrick’s Day. He went back to the bar to get something he lost (maybe his umbrella or credit card) but only found a yellow umbrella that he took. Then later Dr. Stella said she was in that bar and lost her umbrella...

I think it's Dr. Stella.

In the S3 premiere, Future Ted says something along the lines of "you already know the short version of how I met your mother - that story with the yellow umbrella." At the end of that episode, a woman with a yellow umbrella is seen (I believe) leaving the bar. Then, in the St. Patrick's Day episode, Ted mentions that the mother was actually at a party that he attended - we see someone standing under a yellow umbrella in line, and then at the end of the episode, Ted takes the umbrella, which had been left behind at the club.
