Could Lance Barber be back again?
Lance Barber, who portrayed Georgie’s late father and Mary’s husband in Young Sheldon, made a surprise appearance in season 1, episode 12 of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. He appeared in a fantasy sequence, as his character is actually deceased.
Fans are hoping he could appear in an additional capacity going forward, such as in a flash back or potentially another dream sequence.
Why Iain Armitage’s Sheldon Might Not Return
Iain Armitage portrayed Sheldon in the Young Sheldon universe, but it’s unclear if he’ll be returning at this time. The co-creator of the series explained why we may not be seeing him any time soon.
“We would love to [have Sheldon appear] if we found the right episode for Iain,” co-creator Steve Holland said to TV Line. “We love him, and he’s been super supportive … but we’re trying to establish this show and give it its own identity.”
“Sheldon is in California now, so if Sheldon is coming into the story, there has to be a bigger reason for it. But we also know from Big Bang…that Sheldon didn’t come home a lot. He left and didn’t come [back] much, and Georgie was left to pick up the brunt of the family baggage.”
