How I Met Your Mother is bringing back Victoria (a.k.a. Ashley Williams) in season 8, and the character will appear in several episodes!

While we figured that Victoria would appear in at least the first episode of season 8, considering that she and Ted took off into the sunset at the end of season 7, it looks like she’ll be a permanent fixture in the gang’s lives for a while.

TV Line confirms that Williams will appear in multiple episodes in season 8. Ted doesn’t ultimately end up marrying Victoria of course, but maybe their romance will be more than just a short fling following her almost-marriage.

Are you happy that Victoria will be back next year?
