How I Met Your Mother: Scoop on Barney's storyline for season 9 from E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos

Here's some scoop on How I Met Your Mother from Kristin Dos Santos' Spoiler Chat for Tuesday 2/12/13.

Jim in Crown Point, Ind.: Regarding How I Met Your Mother ending soon…I'm interested to see how they are going to treat Barney now that the final season will be about meeting the mother.
According to Neil Patrick Harris, Barney will definitely have plenty to do in the final season of HIMYM. "I know that their plan if the show ended in season eight was that [Barney's end] was going to be brief, but now that the show ends in season nine we have a really nice structure that I think fans will like," he told us on the red carpet at the Grammys on Sunday. And yes, Harris agrees that it's definitely time to say goodbye to the series. "We don't want to outstay our welcome! Especially when the show is a question. You need to get to the point and end it in a nice way."
