After her stint in Young Sheldon, Meemaw is officially coming back for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, which will, unfortunately, make her The Big Bang Theory appearance so much worse. While not technically a Cooper, Connie Tucker, was a vital part of the family’s story in Medford. Living just across George and Mary’s home, she often spent time with her daughter’s kids. Eventually, however, Young Sheldon developed Meemaw’s personal arc separate from the clan, which usually revolved around her dating life, and later on, her attempt at running an illegal gambling den that was shut down just before George’s death.
Before Annie Potts played the character in Young Sheldon, however, June Squibb first debuted Meemaw in The Big Bang Theory season 9, episode 5, “The Meemaw Materialization”. Prior to that, Sheldon occasionally mentioned her maternal grandmother, most notably explaining to Penny why she called her Moonpie. The socially-inept genius was close to his mother, but he had a special bond with Meemaw, which Young Sheldon leaned into in its earliest years. As its story diversified, however, Connie became closer to Georgie and Mandy, hence why it’s great to know that she’ll have a presence in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
Meemaw Remains Connected With The Coopers After Young Sheldon
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage Will Reunite The Couple With Meemaw
As confirmed at the TCA’s Summer Press Tour, Meemaw will appear in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, alongside Mary and Missy. This means that after the Young Sheldon finale, she remains connected to the Coopers. It’s worth noting that while the prequel’s final season 7’s biggest tragedy is the unexpected demise of George, Connie was also in a string of unlucky breaks during that period of time.
However, this will establish that Meemaw’s connection with Mary and the kids is preserved after Young Sheldon.
The latest Medford tornado wrecked her whole house, forcing her to move in with Dale, where she was still staying at the end of The Big Bang Theory prequel. Between this and her unfinished arc in the Young Sheldon finale, there were concerns about how her relationship with the Coopers would progress after the show. However, this will establish that Meemaw’s connection with Mary and the kids is preserved after Young Sheldon.
