“Georgie worries he’s letting his family down when he’s forced to stay home with a cold, and Mandy worries about how her career will affect her marriage.”
Why ‘Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’ Is Bringing Back George Sr.
Holland previously said the show wouldn’t bring back the characters unless there was a good reason. “If we found the right sort of emotional reason for Georgie, and it didn’t just feel like a stunt — like, here’s George Sr. crawling his way out of the grave — and we treated it respectfully, it would be great to have Lance back on,” he said. In the end-month episode, George appears to his son in a dream to encourage him when the latter thinks he’s letting his father down. Holland explained how this storyline came about, saying:
“His dad visits him in a dream. George is thinking about his dad, and he’s worried that his dad might be disappointed in him…. [The idea] came out of a conversation we’d had with Chuck, even early on, talking about the show. Chuck had said about his own father that he still dreams about him, he still visits him, so that was a thing we had thought about. And then when we were breaking this episode, it just seemed like a great opportunity to bring George back.”
