Why Sheldon Isn’t Returning In Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage
Sheldon Moved To California At The End Of Young Sheldon
Mary, Missy, and Meemaw can do that because they are all still based in Medford, Texas, with Georgie and Mandy living just across town.
Mary, Missy, and Meemaw are all confirmed to return in the new show, but not Sheldon. This doesn’t mean, however, thatGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriagedoesn’t want him. It’s just a matter of logistics due to the character’s final fate. At the very end of theYoung Sheldonfinale, the boy genius finally moved to Pasadena, California to start his post-graduate stint at Caltech. PerThe Big Bang Theorycanon, he will remain there for the next couple of decades until theflashforward scene in the prequel, which revealed Sheldon in his 50s.
Because of this, it isn’t easy to bring back Sheldon on a random week inGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.Mary, Missy, and Meemaw can do that because they are all still based in Medford, Texas, with Georgie and Mandy living just across town. If anything, it would be more suspicious if the trio didn’t consistently appear in the upcoming spinoff, considering their relationship with Georgie, not to mention what was established inThe Big Bang Theorycanon. For Sheldon, however, they have to be more creative in getting him involved in CBS’Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
Meemaw’s Big Bang Theory Future Just Got Worse After Her Confirmed Georgie & Mandy Spinoff Role
Meemaw has a confirmed role in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage after Young Sheldon, which makes her The Big Bang Theory appearance way more baffling.
The good news is that Chuck Lorre and his team are already actively working on finding a way to bring back Sheldon. One of their options is to save his much-anticipated appearance via a holiday-themed episode inGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. This way, there’s a reason why Sheldon would be back in Texas. Otherwise, it could also be for the summer, since he still needs to come back home during the academic break.
The Coopers Kids Are Young Sheldon’s Biggest Untapped Potential
Young Sheldon Barely Focused On George & Mary’s Kids' Overall Relationship
WhenYoung Sheldonstarted, it was riding on Sheldon’s popularity inThe Big Bang Theory. For its first few years, it functioned as Sheldon’s origin story, with the majority of storylines regarding the boy genius. After just a couple of seasons, however, the creative team started diversifying its narratives. This meant thatall Coopers were given respective arcs. That was how Georgie and Mandy’s romance started, which resulted in the idea forGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. Missy was still underutilized, but she was still able to make an impression.
Georgie, Sheldon, and Missy escaped home and followed Mary to the hospital because they couldn’t wait for her update about their father.
Unfortunately, what theBig Bang Theoryprequel was unable to do was to give the trio their collective storylines.Young Sheldonseason 1 gave the Cooper kids their first group narrative whenGeorge suffered his first heart attack. Georgie, Sheldon, and Missy escaped home and followed Mary to the hospital because they couldn’t wait for her update about their father. Since then, however,Young Sheldonnever gave them another collective arc, which was such a disappointment, considering how great Revord, Armitage, and Jordan’s chemistry was.

Will Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage Reunite All Three Cooper Siblings?
Georgie, Missy, & Sheldon Need Another Adventure In The Young Sheldon Sequel
After Mary and Meemaw’s appearance in theGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriagepilot, Missy will follow in the second episode. Beyond that, it’s uncertain if Revord will make another appearance, and if she does, if it’s going to be the same time that Sheldon is in town. Perhaps the three Cooper siblings can be together with the rest of the family for one of the upcoming holiday-themed episodes.
Ideally, however,Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriagecan somehow make up forYoung Sheldonunderutilizing the trio with a proper storyline. One way to do that is to give them at least a single-episode arc whereMissy, Sheldon, and Georgie are out on their adventure separatefrom everyone else in the show. Maybe the future owner of Dr. Tire could recruit his siblings to work on his budding business, giving them ample time to bond and showcase how they’ve evolved since the original show.
