With Young Sheldon At the end of its seven seasons, fans will be happy to know that the story will continue in a second spin-off with some favorite characters. The eldest Cooper son Georgie (Montana Jordan) and his wife Mandy (Emily Osment) will reprise their roles in the upcoming spin-off series Georgie and Mandy's first marriage. They are joined by Will Sasso and Rachel Bay Jones as Mandy's parents Jim and Audrey.

The spin-off has big shoes to fill Young Sheldon becomes a hugely successful prequel spin-off of The big Bang Theory. However, its success will largely depend on how well the series stays true to the future stories it tells TBBT. However, for this to happen, a character must return.

Georgie and the aftermath of Sheldon's departure in Young Sheldon

Georgie is a central character in Young Sheldon. He also appears as an older adult in several episodes of The big Bang Theory, played by Jerry O'Connell. There Georgie mentions many things about his life after Sheldon (Iain Armitage in Young Sheldon) went to Caltech. In one of the key scenes he disagrees with the adult Sheldon (Jim Parsons).

Georgie confronts Sheldon about never showing appreciation for everything Georgie did after her father's death. One important thing he mentions is caring for her mother Mary (Zoe Perry) and her sister Missy (Raegan Revord). George and Missy's first marriage could easily continue after Missy, a teenager, is already in school or living alone. But Mary is the big question mark.

Fans know this from Mary's dozen or so appearances The big Bang Theory (played by Laurie Metcalf, Perry's real-life mother) that she is still alive and well decades later. If George were to support her emotionally and financially for a long period of time, she would have to be present in his life. Even though the upcoming show picks up years later after the culmination of the grieving process, There would still be no viable explanation for Mary not being there.

The adult Sheldon talks about in the last episode Young Sheldon that Mary sold the family home. Where did she live? In an episode of The big Bang TheorySheldon is visiting his mother in Texas and Mary is living alone in a small house at the time. However, since she probably still lives in the same city and neighborhood as Georgie, it makes sense that she would visit her, especially considering how much she dotes on her granddaughter CeeCee.

Missy could have gone to school or distanced herself from the family and spent time with her friends like a typical teenager. She was happy that the family was moving to Houston shortly before George's (Lance Barber) death, so it wouldn't be out of the question for her to move out on her own once she came of age. But Mary is the important piece of the puzzle that needs to be addressed.

Mary and Georgie's complicated later relationship

It takes some creative thinking to explain why Mary isn't there when the character doesn't make at least one or two cameo appearances in the series. One way to explain Mary's absence from the spin-off (Perry's appearance has not yet been confirmed) could be a turbulent relationship with her eldest son. The elder Georgie mentions his displeasure with Sheldon's trip to Germany, which cost much of the family fortune. That meant he had to find ways to finance his chain of tire stores himself. This may have led to stress, heated arguments and little time for his mother.

Young Sheldon's ending was heartbreaking yet beautiful, and here's why

Young Sheldon has come to an end after seven seasons, and with George's death being the focus of the final episodes, it was a bittersweet finale.

The older Mary also seems to dislike many of Georgie's later life decisions. In an appearance in season 9 on The big Bang Theory, she refers to Georgie's girlfriend at the time and her refusal to give Georgie her grandmother's ring for a third marriage proposal. However, Mary and Mandy get along well, so Georgie, at least during the time she is married to her, Fans would expect to see Mary as a part of her life. Even if Georgie and Mary disagree, the matriarch's strict religious beliefs and the importance she places on family means she would likely put them aside, especially for the sake of her grandchild.

It all depends on when the Georgie spin-off launches

It could all come down to timing. Between George's death and her visit to Sheldon in the first season, little is known about Mary The big Bang Theory when he was about 27 years old. This leaves a gap of 13 years. Nevertheless, at least in the first few years, if what Georgie says is true, he was there for his mother.

Therefore, Mary's presence or absence could depend heavily on when the spin-off series begins. Since this is a “first marriage,” it is assumed that it will take place shortly after the events Young Sheldon as Georgie was married and divorced twice. His marriage to Mandy has an expiration date. Since Georgie, Mandy and Mary probably all continue to live in the same city, The spin-off won't work if his mother doesn't come around. This continuity and character overlap would make the plot more believable.
