It’s been three months since Young Sheldon ended, but since then Raegan Revord who played Missy on the show has been up to a lot with her fellow cast members. From attending award ceremonies to writing books and meeting her co-stars babies, she’s been up to a lot.
She’s one of the best characters to have starred in the show and I’m already excited to see her pop up now and again in the spinoff. So, let’s catch up on everything she’s been up to since the show finished.
Attended the Kids Choice Awards
Raegan Revord attended the Kids Choice Awards with her fellow cast members, where Young Sheldon won Favourite Family TV Show.
Most of the time it looked like Iain Armitage was being serious whilst she and Montana Jordan were goofing around together, which was pretty consistent with their actual characters then.
Writing her own book
The Young Sheldon star recently revealed she’s in the process of writing her own book, called Rules for Fake Girlfriends, which will be out next autumn. The book follows a teenager who teams up with a new friend to finish the scavenger hunt her late mother left behind.
She also explained how hard it was switching between acting and writing whilst on set, telling People: “It’s kind of funny because it’s like you’re Missy, and then you’re a writer. And it was a learning curve.”
Continued working on her book club
Following the season finale of Young Sheldon, Raegan focused more on her book cub called Read with Raegan, which is aimed at young readers. She started the online club in 2019 and each month she picks a new book and then joins online discussions about the subject material.
She explained: “It kind of is trying to figure out [if the club is] attention-snagging enough that people will be like, ‘Oh I could put down a phone for this.’ I try to find stories that are interesting from the get-go and stories that are diverse because I want people to feel seen and find someone in each story that they can relate to.”
Spending time with her co-star’s baby
Raegan Revord finally got to meet her fellow Young Sheldon cast member, Montana Jordan’s, baby for the first time. His daughter is called Emma Rae, and fans were quick to spot the similarities between the actor’s daughter’s middle name and the first name of his on-screen sister, Raegan Revord.
Fans have speculated that the newborn’s middle name is a tribute to Raegan, as the spelling matches her first name. “Is the middle name for @raeganrevord! ” one fan commented on Montana’s post, whilst another fan said: “@raeganrevord I heard the middle name was in honour of you, congratulations girl! Hope it’s true!”
Raegan now refers to herself as Aunt Rae. She wrote in the caption: “Auntie Rae meet Emma Rae.” My heart is actually melting.
Filming new scenes for the spinoff
Raegan will be appearing in the second episode of the Young Sheldon spinoff, but it seems her character has gone through some changes.
She might seem a bit different from when we last saw her as fellow executive Steve Holland revealed to TV Insider: “We’re going to see a slightly different Missy. She’s gone through the loss of her dad and she’s acting out. She’s [becoming] rebellious.”
