It’s notable that this is the first time Perry and Armitage haven’t been seen together since the Young Sheldon finale. With Georgie and Mandy’s first marriage currently playing out, it’s been a delight for fans to see familiar faces from the Cooper family, who remain in Texas, making appearances in Montana Jordan and Emily Osment’s spin-off. Even Mary, played by Perry, has been part of the storyline, ensuring the continuation of the Cooper family dynamic.
However, Sheldon’s absence has been noticeable. The young prodigy has yet to appear in the spin-off, and this is largely due to the fact that he now lives in California. His relocation was a major turning point in Young Sheldon and serves as a natural progression of his journey toward the events of The Big Bang Theory.
In The Big Bang Theory, it was made clear that Sheldon seldom returned to Medford after moving away for college. This decision was not just practical but also tied to his character development, as he focused on his academic and personal growth. His limited visits home provide a justified reason for his lack of presence in the spin-off so far.
