Raegan Revord shared why a Sheldon appearance in the new spinoff may not align with The Big Bang Theory storyline.
Fans of Young Sheldon may be hoping to see Sheldon Cooper in the new CBS spin-off, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. However, Raegan Revord, who plays Missy Cooper, told Entertainment Tonight that such an appearance would not match the story shown in The Big Bang Theory.
A show between two timelines
As per PEOPLE, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is set in the mid-90s and follows Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) and Mandy McAllister (Emily Osment) as they navigate young married life. With the plot set between Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory, the show has to be careful with the story and the canon.
Revord told Entertainment Tonight that while a Sheldon cameo would be “so much fun, it might not make sense in terms of plot. In The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon and his brother Georgie had a troubled relationship after their father died, Screenrant reported. Due to this, showing Sheldon in the new spin-off might not fit with the Big Bang universe.
“That would be so much fun, but I feel like if, because they’re sticking to the Big Bang Theory lore and everything, because the whole thing in The Big Bang Theory is Georgie and Sheldon don’t talk, because they kind of have a rift between them after [their father] George dies. And so if they’re sticking to that, I feel like it wouldn’t make sense for Sheldon to come back,” Revord said.
