Fact or Fiction: Is Rachel Bilson Going To Be A Mother??

A mother on TV, that is! Rumors are flying that Rachel Bilson has been cast as THE mother on How I Met Your Mother!
According to E!Online:
A show rep confirms to us that Rachel has been picked for the potentially pivotal part,
but they add:
Bilson's rep tells us that she's only signed on to appear in the one episode.
I am a huge fan of the show, so this is exciting gossip!!! I will admit that I was really hoping last season that Sarah Chalke was "the one" but I think Rachel would be a fantastic addition to the show - whether she is the mother or just a guest star!
Are you a fan of the show? What do you think of the possibility of Rachel playing the role of Ted's future wife?

i doubt it will be her . they will try to keep it a secret until the end so she's probably only a guest anyway, LOVE THAT SHOW

oh god I hope not. She's cute and everything but she would kill the show for me. I'll never see her as anything but Summer

I've kind of expected that once we know the mother the show will be over... I'm not ready for that yet!

She would be perfect as Ted's wife! I was also rooting for Sarah Chalke, but Rachel would be even better. However, I don't know if they'd announce it if they had chosen her, would they?
What the hell is that around her neck??????

I like Rachel a lot and think it's about time she popped back on our TV screens.

I though we would only "meet" the mother at the very last episode.
I was also rooting for Chalke.

Interesting! I had heard a rumor that with last season we were supposed to get a glimpse of who the mother is...I also was thinking Sarah Chalke was "the one" for a bit. I wouldn't mind Rachel even though I've not really seen her in anything much. I didn't watch her other wildly popular show.
