Lance Barber’s Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage Season 2 Return Makes Sense For Georgie
Georgie’s Big Bang Theory Appearance Proves He Remains A Workaholic
Like “Typhoid Georgie,” Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage season 2 could bring back George Sr. to justify Georgie’s outlook on work. If Georgie remains a workaholic, he will likely do so out of a misguided aim to live up to his father’s status as a caregiver for his family. While Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage season 2 must also find room for lighter, sillier subplots like Connor’s love life, the spinoff needs to look closely at the ways that Georgie’s relentless work ethic hurts his relationships. This is where George Sr.’s comeback cameo fits in.
It is perhaps unsurprising that George Sr. died at work, as Georgie’s father was more committed to providing for his family than his own health. Barber’s George Sr. is a tragic cautionary tale for his son, but the Georgie of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage instead views him as a role model to emulate. Thus, Barber’s character should return in season 2 as Georgie continues to imagine a version of his father who approves of his workaholic tendencies. This would allow Young Sheldon’s spinoff to explain why the titular union from Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage didn’t last.
