Avid The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon fans, you may be following the actors on Instagram including Missy Cooper actress Raegan Revord. She’s great about posting behind-the-scenes images and providing us with tidbits as we now await the Young Sheldon spin-off, Gerogie and Mandy’s First Marriage. And if you’ve looked at her socials recently, you may have gotten excited to see one person in particular.
In an Instagram post, Revord shared a photo that makes all of our hearts melt. And that’s a snap of her, Montana Jordan who plays Georgie, and the one and only Lance Barber who played the Cooper patriarch, George, on the set of the spin-off. Of course all of us know that unfortunately, George passed away in the final episodes of the final season of Young Sheldon (season 7). Check out the image below!
Now of course when we immediately look at the adorable image, our first thought is perhaps Barber is going to show up somehow on Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage. Maybe as a ghost or even in Georgie’s dreams. Though I’m sorry to report that this isn’t the case, friends. TVLine has already confirmed that Barber was only on set to support his onscreen kiddos. George Sr. will not be making a cameo in the spin-off series, coming Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024 on CBS.
Even still, as fans we always like to see actors and ensemble cast members reunite after a show comes to an end. And so we at least have a Young Sheldon reunion here that melts our hearts! And while Barber won’t be guest starring, it has been confirmed that Revord, Zoe Perry (Mary Cooper), and Annie Potts (Connie/Meemaw) are all set to appear in the first couple of episodes of Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage.
This definitely makes sense since as far as we know, Georgie and Mandy are continuing to live in Medford, Texas. They’re not very far from his family at all. And so, it definitely makes sense for them to be popping by. Hopefully, this will be the first of many guest star appearances from the Cooper gang!
Based on this other Instagram post, it looks like filming started around July 24, 2024 and Revord once again delivered in giving us so many behind-the-scenes goodies! You’ll spot Melissa Peterman and Potts posing with the young actress. Is Brenda Sparks going to pop up in Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage too? We’ll find out soon!
