Gilbert and "Roseanne" hubby reunite

By Nellie Andreeva

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Sara Gilbert will reunite with her "Roseanne" husband Johnny Galecki on Galecki's new comedy series, CBS' "The Big Bang Theory."

The show, set for a September 24 premiere, revolves around Leonard (Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons), two socially inept physicists who befriend their new pretty neighbor (Kaley Cuoco).

Gilbert will appear in an unspecified number of episodes as a love interest for Leonard. She is a fellow physicist who works with him, and the two attempt to date.

On "Roseanne," Gilbert and Galecki's characters, Darlene Conner and David Healy, had an on-again, off-again relationship until tying the knot in the penultimate season's finale.

Gilbert's role on the long-running ABC sitcom earned her two Emmy nominations.

Gilbert, who gave birth to a girl a month ago, has had a recurring role on NBC's veteran medical drama "ER."
