Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage's extended cast will be the McAllisters, as the couple lives with them for a while. ittedly, this is a risky change, considering how beloved Georgie's clan is. While they won't be series regulars, the Coopers will still have a presence in the show.

As previously confirmed, Zoe Perry and Annie Potts will reprise their respective roles as Mary and Meemaw in Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage's pilot episode, "The 6:10 to Lubbock." Meanwhile, episode 2 will feature the return of Raegan Revord as Missy. While she was initially set to only make a single episode appearance, her role has since then been expanded to become a recurring guest star, as the Young Sheldon sequel delves deep into her relationship with her older brother. Beyond that, however, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage is also confirmed to stage a reunion for the Cooper family.

Thanks to a social media post by Potts, it is now confirmed that Young Sheldon's ending is enough to excite those who miss them.

Despite not being an official member of the family, it makes sense that Dale will be part of Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage festivities. He has gotten closer to Meemaw ever since they started living together, which was followed by George's unexpected death. However, one notable absence is Sheldon. Granted that the boy genius already moved out of Texas and to California, where he is finishing his post-graduate studies at Caltech. As seen in The Big Bang Theory, he would stay in Pasadena until his adult years, although he is still expected to come back home from time to time.

George's death in Young Sheldon season 7 had an immense impact on his family. Because of its unexpected nature, everyone was caught off guard and reacted differently. Suffice it to say, their lives changed drastically when the tragedy happened. So, it's great that George's family can gather and celebrate the holiday, despite the harrowing events of the year. That said, there seems to be something off-putting knowing that Sheldon won't be there.

While Mary clung to her faith, Georgie went on autopilot, and Missy started lashing out, the boy genius internalized his grief in the Young Sheldon season 7 finale. He didn't even properly say goodbye to George during his funeral, or talk to anyone about his regrets over his shortened time with him. Adult Sheldon in the flashforward itted that he tried to evade properly processing his grief by purposefully not talking about it. Knowing that he is alone in California, with no system during the holidays makes George's death a worse tragedy for him.

Despite claiming to prefer being alone, Sheldon needs emotional , especially during this very difficult time. This makes his non-involvement in Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage's Cooper reunion episode worse.

Via flashback sequences, The Big Bang Theory revealed how Sheldon met Leonard, Howard, and Raj — something that isn't due to happen for several more years in the prequel's timeline. That said, the nerd-centric sitcom never showed what life was like for George and Mary's son during his starting days at Caltech.

While Sheldon won't be in Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage Thanksgiving reunion episode, it doesn't mean that he won't be back in the Young Sheldon sequel. The producers have confirmed that they are actively working to bring him back. Iain Armitage is also willing to reprise his breakout role, even for just one episode. Ideally, Sheldon should find himself back home in Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage's season 1. Perhaps he could be the finale's special guest. Otherwise, his cameo can be saved for the show's potential sophomore year.
