Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s exciting Cooper family reunion will highlight the secret tragedy of Sheldon thatThe Big Bang Theorynever told. Chuck Lorre is further expanding the sitcom franchise that he and Bill Prady kickstarted with a new show starring Montana Jordan and Emily Osment. Instead of the Coopers, however,Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s extended castwill be the McAllisters, as the couple lives with them for a while. Admittedly, this is a risky change, considering how beloved Georgie’s clan is. While they won’t be series regulars, the Coopers will still have a presence in the show.

As previously confirmed, Zoe Perry and Annie Potts will reprise their respective roles as Mary and Meemaw inGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s pilot episode, “The 6:10 to Lubbock.” Meanwhile, episode 2 will feature the return of Raegan Revord as Missy. While she was initially set to only make a single episode appearance, her role has since then been expanded to become a recurring guest star, as theYoung Sheldonsequel delves deep into her relationship with her older brother. Beyond that, however,Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriageis also confirmed to stage a reunionfor theCooper family.

Thanks to a social media post by Potts, it is now confirmed thatfourYoung Sheldoncharacters will return inGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s special Thanksgiving episode. In a behind-the-scenes video, Perry, Revord, Potts, and Dale actor, Craig T. Nelson, will be back for the sequel as they spend the holiday with the McAllisters. SinceGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriagehasn’t even premiered yet, there’s barely any narrative detail announced for the said special. That said, seeing the actors get together on the set again months afterYoung Sheldon’s endingis enough to excite those who miss them.

Despite not being an official member of the family, it makes sense that Dale will be part ofGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriagefestivities. He has gotten closer to Meemaw ever since they started living together, which was followed by George’s unexpected death. However,one notable absence is Sheldon. Granted that the boy genius already moved out of Texas and to California, where he is finishing his post-graduate studies at Caltech. As seen inThe Big Bang Theory, he would stay in Pasadena until his adult years, although he is still expected to come back home from time to time.

George’s death inYoung Sheldonseason 7had an immense impact on his family. Because of its unexpected nature, everyone was caught off guard and reacted differently. Suffice it to say, their lives changed drastically when the tragedy happened. So, it’s great that George’s family can gather and celebrate the holiday, despite the harrowing events of the year. That said, there seems to be something off-putting knowing that Sheldon won’t be there.

Melissa Peterman is confirmed to appear in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, raising questions about how Brenda Sparks remains tied to the Coopers.

While Mary clung to her faith, Georgie went on autopilot, and Missy started lashing out, the boy genius internalized his grief in theYoung Sheldonseason 7 finale. He didn’t even properly say goodbye to George during his funeral, or talk to anyone about his regrets over his shortened time with him.Adult Sheldon in the flashforwardadmitted that he tried to evade properly processing his grief by purposefully not talking about it. Knowing that he is alone in California, with no support system during the holidays makes George’s death a worse tragedy for him.

Despite claiming to prefer being alone, Sheldon needs emotional support, especially during this very difficult time. This makes his non-involvement inGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s Cooper reunion episode worse.

Via flashback sequences,The Big Bang Theoryrevealed how Sheldon met Leonard, Howard, and Raj — something that isn’t due to happen for several more years in the prequel’s timeline. That said, the nerd-centric sitcom never showed what life was like for George and Mary’s son during his starting days at Caltech. Despite claiming to prefer being alone, Sheldon needs emotional support, especially during this very difficult time. This makes his non-involvement inGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s Cooper reunion episode worse.
