Georgie & Mandy Spinoff Star Is Working To Get A Big Bang Theory Character In The Young Sheldon Sequel
How Jerry O’Connell’s Adult Georgie From TBBT Can Appear In George & Mandy’s First Marriage
Jim Parsons’ Young Sheldon Role Can Be The Template
O’Connell was the final member of the Coopers to appear in The Big Bang Theory. He only debuted in the season 11 penultimate episode, ahead of Sheldon tying the knot with Amy. As it turns out, George and Mary’s sons had a falling out and were not on speaking terms for years. They were forced to reconcile after their mother threatened not to attend Sheldon’s wedding. Like Missy, Georgie may have only had a small role in The Big Bang Theory, but he made a big enough impact that many were curious to learn more about him in Young Sheldon.
If O’Connell wants to be more involved, he could have a bigger role by doing occasional cameos for big episodes, instead of saving his only physical appearance at the end of the offshoot’s run.
As Osment suggests, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage can follow Young Sheldon‘s suit and bring O’Connell as adult Georgie from the future. His narration can bookend episodes, the same way Jim Parsons’ voiceovers did. If O’Connell wants to be more involved, he could have a bigger role by doing occasional cameos for big episodes, instead of saving his only physical appearance at the end of the offshoot’s run. Considering the timeline limitations, these are the only options that Osment has right now, but at the very least, they’re easy to do, which increases the chances of them happening.
Both narrative choices will allow the spinoff to show George and Mandy’s life after The Big Bang Theory. Per the title and emphasized by its updated logo, the couple will eventually have a second marriage. The only reason why they have to split up is because of The Big Bang Theory‘s established canon. Despite the countless plot inconsistencies that Young Sheldon created, in the end, it proved that it cared about continuity, hence why it ended despite still being very popular.
