Young Sheldon season 7's first promotional clip sheds light on an exciting development involving Missy, the only daughter of George and Mary Cooper. While Sheldon has been the focal point of the show, Young Sheldon has evolved into a true family comedy, sparking increased interest in all the Cooper family members. Missy, who had played a relatively minor role in the series, experienced a rebellious storyline in season 5 as a response to her limited screen time. However, as we enter the new year, she is presented with a fresh opportunity to shine.
The official Young Sheldon YouTube account recently shared a captivating clip from the upcoming season, showcasing Missy confidently taking over Mary's responsibilities while she's away. This promotional sneak peek provides a glimpse into how Missy will navigate this new role and demonstrates her potential for growth and accomplishment. Moreover, it allows the writers to rectify the underutilization of her character before the show's conclusion.
Among the Cooper family members, Missy has consistently demonstrated her worth. While she may not possess Sheldon's genius or Georgie's entrepreneurial spirit, she brings a unique blend of street smarts and charisma that makes her a captivating character. Regrettably, the series has often relegated her to a supporting role, failing to fully capitalize on her appeal. Thus, expanding her role in season 7 is a necessary step towards showcasing her abilities, responsibility, and capabilities.
With the conclusion of Young Sheldon drawing near, there is limited time to explore Missy's teenage years fully. It would have been intriguing to witness her navigate stereotypical high school experiences, creating a contrast to Sheldon's college endeavors at the age of 13. Nevertheless, her prominent presence in the season 7 clip suggests that the show's writers are committed to better utilizing her character in the remaining episodes. This development may also present an opportunity for Missy to embark on a more lighthearted storyline before her life takes a significant turn with the upcoming death of George in Young Sheldon.
To fully make up for the underutilization of Missy, CBS could also consider including her in the upcoming Young Sheldon spinoff focusing on Georgie and Missy. According to The Big Bang Theory canon, Georgie remained connected to Missy following their father's passing, presenting a seamless transition into a potential new series. Including Missy in this project would not only rectify her underappreciation but also expand upon her character, as much about her teenage years has remained untold in the nerd-centric sitcom.
All in all, Young Sheldon season 7 seems poised to bring Missy to the forefront and allow her to shine in a new and expanded role. The first promotional clip hints at exciting possibilities for her character, and fans eagerly await seeing her potential unfold. As we look forward to the premiere on Thursday, February 15th at 8pm ET on CBS, it is clear that Missy's journey in Young Sheldon is poised to captivate viewers and offer a fresh perspective on the Cooper family dynamics.
