As someone who has been at the forefront of covering the Big Bang Theory universe, I think bringing back Brenda for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is an inspired decision. While she’s not everybody’s cup of tea, it’s still great to see a familiar face from Young Sheldon appear in the upcoming sequel. Despite how she impacted the marriage of Sheldon’s parents, she genuinely supported the family after the unexpected death of George. It isn’t clear if she returns beyond the pilot, but it’s interesting to see how her team-up with Meemaw shakes out, in light of what happened before.
The question here is if Brenda will have any scenes with Zoe Perry’s Mary. While the actor is confirmed to also return in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage‘s pilot, I don’t think she is part of the scenes filmed in front of a live studio audience. She wasn’t spotted in any of the behind-the-scenes content from the day the cast did their first shooting session. Because of this, she and Peterman may not share the screen, which is disappointing to me. After everything that they have been through, I am curious about the kind of dynamic that they have.
Will Brenda Be A Recurring Guest Star In Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage?
Peterman Will Be A Great Supporting Character
Aside from Meemaw and Brenda, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is also bringing back Mary and Missy. Sheldon’s sister was supposed to only be in episode 2, but CBS promoted her to a recurring guest star. There is no word yet if there’s any change in Meemaw and Mary’s appearances, however. That said, with virtually no official information about Brenda’s return, it isn’t clear how frequently she will actually be involved in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. It’s worth noting that the titular couple just moved across town, so it shouldn’t be that difficult to get in touch with them.
Additionally, Peterman is also co-starring in her own sitcom as part of Happy’s Place’s cast — Reba McEntire’s comedy return on NBC.
That said, if Brenda ever comes back to the Young Sheldon sequel, it’s likely that it will be tied to the Cooper family‘s roles in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. Despite being their neighbor for years, she just doesn’t have any personal connection with Georgie (or Mandy). Additionally, Peterman is also co-starring in her own sitcom, Happy’s Place, Reba McEntire’s comedy return on NBC. That said, while she may not be a regular guest star on Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, the door is always open for her return.
