As CBS' How I Met Your Mother continues to prepare for its final episodes, buzz about next week's mid-season finale, Bass Player Wanted, continues to circulate.

Fans want to know is whether or not Cristin Millioti's 'The Mother' character will be featured in the episode, and just how much she will be seen in the show's second half of the season. So far, she has only been seen in a handful of episodes for brief flashback and flash-forward scenes.

According to show co-creator Craig Thomas' Twitter feed, Millioti's character will be present in the next episode.

"Folks are asking if The Mother is in the next new #HIMYM. I could say 'No spoiler.' Or I could just say, 'Tes. A LOT,'" he tweeted Dec. 2.

The mid-season finale episode's official synopsis stated that guest star Andrew Rannells (The New Normal) will play Darren, a guy at Robin and Barney's wedding who will intentionally stir up trouble while Marshall finally arrives at the Farhampton Inn.

One person who has revealed that the mother will have a much heavier presence, which she guarantees fans will love, is Miliotti herself. She spoke about how much she loves the character she has been playing all season in a special interview for CBS.

"I love that they all meet her before he [Ted] does. I love that," she said. "Everyone has been under the notion that they're all going to meet her at the wedding, over this weekend, but I love that it was like a little wrench in the works."

The Mother so far met Lily (Alyson Hannigan) in the season premiere episode, as the two traveled on the train to Farhampton. Her character also met Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) in a flashback episode, the ninth of the season, titled Platonish.

Though the character will appear in Bass Player Wanted, it is unclear if she will meet Marshall or Robin, both of whom she still needs to introduce herself to before she meets Ted.

Millioti also went on to talk about the epic love story that is still playing out between The Mother and Ted (Josh Radnor), which fans have seen small snippets of in flash-forwards in Coming Back and The Lighthouse.

"They both have gone through the things that they needed to go through to be open to each other fully, and that's really beautiful and really life-like," she said. "That's that, when you meet someone and the timing is perfect, and there's a shift in the air, and you both realize that everything you've gone through has led to this."

The actress also revealed what she loved most about her character, whom fans have called the perfect mix of Lily and Robin based on the actress's looks.

"I really love her and I think she's sort of a perfect combination of all five. I mean, yes, she's great for Ted, and they have the same sense of humor, and the same sensibilities and that same sort of inherent nerdiness," she said. "But she also has elements of everyone else, and I think that that's really beautiful."
