How Every HIMYM Character Can Cameo In How I Met Your Father Season 2
How I Met Your Father season 2 is already set up to easily feature cameos from HIMYM’s original characters. As a spinoff of How I Met Your Mother set in the same universe, the question of how Sophie’s story would connect to Ted’s became one of the biggest questions heading into How I Met Your Father. However, right off the bat, How I Met Your Father made indirect references to the beloved original characters, with a few of HIMYM’s actors even returning in the spinoff's first season.
The first HIMYM character cameo occurred in How I Met Your Father season 1, episode 9 when Future Sophie recalled the story of an “old couple with boat kinks” getting divorced. Coming as no surprise to HIMYM fans, this couple would turn out to be George “The Captain” Van Smoot (Kyle MacLachlan) and his wife Becky (Laura Bell Bundy), aka «Boats Boats Boats». The Captain and Becky’s final appearances in HIMYM season 9 revealed the two were getting married, but nearly a decade later the pair end up divorced due to The Captain’s infidelities. Their connection to Sophie’s story would be revealed in How I Met Your Father’s season 1 ending, as The Captain had owned the boat that Sophie’s Tinder date, Ian, was working on in Australia. How I Met Your Father’s season 1 finale then brought back HIMYM’s Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders) as she met Sophie in MacLaren’s Pub—with Carl the Bartender (Joe Nieves) still serving drinks.
