In the world of television, characters can grow and evolve right before our eyes. This is especially true for the young stars of the hit show Young Sheldon. Raegan Revord, who plays Missy Cooper, recently shared a glimpse into the past, reminding us just how much she and her co-star Iain Armitage, who portrays Sheldon Cooper, have grown since the show's inception.
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Revord shared a video of her and Armitage from several years ago during a promotional photoshoot for Young Sheldon. The adorable pair were around 9 to 10 years old at the time, showcasing just how much they have matured over the years. Today, Revord and Armitage are 16 and 15 years old, respectively, while their characters, Missy and Sheldon, are a few years younger in the upcoming seventh season of the show.
The video serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the incredible growth of these young actors on screen. It's easy to forget that just a few years ago, they were carefree kids, unaware of the amazing journey they were about to embark on.
Speaking of journeys, it seems that Sheldon and his family's story in Texas may be coming to a close after Young Sheldon season 7 ends. While Sheldon makes his way to Pasadena and George's fate remains uncertain, the focus will shift to Missy's older brother Georgie and his girlfriend Mandy in a new spinoff. This exciting new series will revolve around their experiences as new parents to Baby Cece.
As we delve into this spinoff, it would be remiss not to include Missy in some capacity. According to the established canon of The Big Bang Theory, Missy and her mother Mary remained connected to Georgie even after Sheldon left for Caltech. Georgie, who took on the responsibility of leading the family after their father's passing, shared glimpses into their lives – filled with struggles and rebellion.
With such rich storytelling potential for Missy's character, it would be a shame to exclude her from the spinoff. Despite being underutilized in both The Big Bang Theory and its prequel, Missy has managed to stand out as a character with depth and complexity. CBS would be wise to capitalize on this opportunity to further develop her arc.
At this point, the specific involvement of Missy in the upcoming spinoff remains uncertain. No additional cast members have been announced besides Montana Jordan and Emily Osment, who will be playing Georgie and Mandy, respectively. However, given Missy's history and the potential for compelling storylines, it seems only fitting to include her in the series.
The journey of Missy and Sheldon from adorable kids to teenagers in Young Sheldon has been a delight to watch. As the fandom eagerly awaits the next chapter, we can't help but reflect on the growth and transformations these young actors have undergone. Regardless of what lies ahead for Missy's character, Raegan Revord's genuine enthusiasm for her role and the show as a whole is a refreshing reminder of the passion that fuels this beloved series.
While we may not know all the details of Missy's future in the Young Sheldon spinoff, one thing is certain – her presence would be an asset to the show. Let's hope that CBS recognizes the potential and gives fans the opportunity to continue following her journey beyond Young Sheldon season 7.
