The Big Bang Theory "Alice"
The Big Bang Theory "Alice" may have only appeared in one episode of the series but she left a huge mark. In season five's episode "The Good Guy Fluctuation", "Leonard" meets "Alice" in a comic book store.
Beautiful and a comic book lover, it seems "Leonard" might have met the woman of his dreams. While "Leonard" and "Alice" begin a flirtation, ultimately "Leonard" remembers his girlfriend, who is away in India, and tells "Alice" they can only be friends. "Alice" isn't thrilled at the revelation, and it's the last we see of her.
