Renowned for his performance as Sheldon Cooper on the CBS comedy Young Sheldon, Iain Armitage recently had a touching reunion with Montana Jordan, his on-screen brother Georgie Cooper. Instagram captured the reunion, with a gentle nod toward The Big Bang Theory.
Armitage can be seen in the video replaying Sheldon's part, singing "Soft Kitty" to Jordan's newborn daughter. The song first surfaced in The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon examined its beginnings. The video is a lovely reminder of the close relationship between the two performers even beyond the end of the show.
The reunion video has spurred rumors regarding a possible comeback of Sheldon for the forthcoming The Big Bang Theory spinoff, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. This show will pick up where Young Sheldon left off and center the life of Georgie and his wife, Mandy.
Although Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage carries on Young Sheldon, the events of the show occur a few months following George's untimely death. Sheldon has moved to California by now, thus it is still to be seen whether he will show up in the spinoff. Still, Armitage and Jordan have a close relationship, thus a cameo is most likely.
Bringing Sheldon back to his family is important, as the writers of The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon, Chuck Lorre, Steve Holland, and Steve Molaro know. Sheldon could be able to go back home for unique events or during school breaks in several years before the events of The Big Bang Theory.
Sheldon's appearance in Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage is expected to bring the rest of the Young Sheldon cast together for a reunion including his sisters Missy and the family matriarch, Meemaw. Although it is doubtful whether the show can host such a reunion, it is most likely feasible.
Given Young Sheldon's appeal, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage has much to live up to. But bringing back well-known personalities like Armitage as Sheldon might entice viewers.
Though it will need to appeal to fans of both Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory, the spinoff has great potential. The show will have to walk a careful line between respecting the past and charting a fresh course.
A touching reminder of the close relationship the performers developed during their stay on Young Sheldon is the reunion of Iain Armitage and Montana Jordan. Although the exact reunion on Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage is unknown, fans are most certainly hoping for something.
