Executive producer and showrunner Steve Molaro talked about the making of the special episode, and also teased Sheldon and Amy's next major milestone.

Molaro told Tvline: "To be honest, we didn't even know the "I love you" was going to happen until we were in the middle of figuring out the prom story. So I'd like to think there are even more milestones, beyond the bigger more obvious ones, that haven't even occurred to us yet."

Talking about the couple's sexual relationship he added: "I have no idea when that will be broached but I have learned that if we're sweating and scared of a scene, that's usually a good sign to do it."
