Marta and I both remember Carol from her "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" stint.

1. I knew she died, but what do you mean "on tonight's episode"? Did the character die tonight?

If so, a spoiler alert would be nice

2. I know Kolchak.

What is Big Bang?

From imdb, we all know Carol Ann Susi.

3. I have been wondering how/if they would handle this on the show.

Especially since Howard sometimes made jokes about wishing his mom was dead.

IMO they couldn't NOT handle it somehow. Her character was a major influence even in episodes she wasn't in

4. well sometimes they did not talk about her so much as her brisket.

5. LOL indeed! I just watched it, and it was a very well-done tribute there at the end.

It really felt like a eulogy to a real person, but using fake names and circumstances.

6. Wonderful episode. It felt like the actors

Weren't making an effort to act at the end-- it was genuine. Beautiful tribute.
