A legendary homecoming! An original How I Met Your Mother cast member made a surprise appearance in the How I Met Your Father finale.
Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), known to Canadians as teen pop sensation Robin Sparkles, appears in the Hulu series’ Tuesday, March 15 episode. The newscaster showed up at MacLarens, the iconic bar from HIMYM.
Smulders’ Robin is on hand to give Hilary Duff’s Sophie advice about her relationship with Chris Lowell’s Jesse, who she recently caught confessing his love for her in his sleep. During their chat, Robin brings up Ted (Josh Radnor), who Sophie refers to as “a real piece of work” upon learning he said “I love you” on their first date.
“You have no idea. But a good piece of work. … Which brings me to my advice. Do not waste your time being scared, Sophie,” Robin says. “Fear can make you run away from things that could be good. Great, even. Things that are supposed to be a part of your story. So, really think about it. What did Jesse do wrong other than say everything you ever wanted a guy to say, just faster than you expected? Sophie, I have been married, I’ve been single, I’ve been everything in between. And the only decisions I regret making are the ones I made out of fear.”
Robin continued: “So, do me a favor, OK? Time travel 20 years into the future and ask future you, ‘Future me, what do I wish I did 20 years ago the night I met smoking hot and somehow still full of gravitas, news superstar Robin Scherbatsky?’ And whatever future you say, do that.”
While Sophie took her advice, it was too late as Jesse was seemingly back with his ex Meredith (Leighton Meester).
“If I’ve learned anything at all about love, it’s that timing is everything. Sometimes, timing is a bitch,” Robin said when
