Young Sheldon: Georgie’s First Baby with Another Character Revealed

Before the introduction of Mandy, Georgie Cooper experienced a series of romantic interests in Young Sheldon, including a high school sweetheart with whom he was supposed to start a family. This narrative paints Georgie as a diligent young man who does his best to support his spouse and child, showcasing growth in his character.

However, the show’s creators originally envisioned a different trajectory for Georgie’s future. Instead of marrying Mandy in Season 7, the plan initially included him having a baby with Veronica Duncan. Fans may recall Veronica as Georgie’s crush from the earlier seasons (Seasons 2 and 3) who underwent a significant transformation, embracing Christianity under Mary Cooper’s influence.

An Alternate Ending: Georgie and Veronica

In an alternate storyline, Georgie and Veronica might have been destined to be together, sharing a lifelong commitment. A pivotal baby storyline was ultimately scrapped, reportedly due to actress Isabel May’s exit from the series, which arose from conflicts with her other project, Netflix’s Alexa and Katie.

Fans have speculated how Mary would react to a deeper storyline between Georgie and Veronica, especially given her initial shock over Georgie’s past relationship with an older woman. One fan interestingly noted, “I wondered why so much effort was made to develop Veronica’s character just for her to vanish,” voicing the sentiments of many viewers.

Despite her absence post-Season 3, Veronica left a lasting impression on Georgie, the Cooper family, and the audience. Initially portrayed as the rebellious girl from Medford High School, her character underwent a transformation toward Christianity, guided by Mary. Georgie’s admiration for her even led him to pursue his own faith path, culminating in a baptism that ended in comedic disappointment when he was rejected and accidentally punched.

The friendship between Georgie and Veronica attempted to flourish, but as Season 3 progressed, they naturally drifted apart with Georgie shifting his attention to another character, Jana Owens. Notably, Veronica did not reappear in the Season 7 finale, but the series hinted that she dedicated her life to charitable work.

Isabel May, the actress behind Veronica, has since taken on significant roles in productions like Yellowstone and will feature alongside Neve Campbell in Scream 7.

Meanwhile, Georgie and Mandy are still together, with no divorce in sight. Speculation surrounds the potential for a second marriage in Georgie’s future, especially considering his string of relationships that later play out in The Big Bang Theory, where he notably remains single. Veronica is often considered a leading candidate for this hypothetical storyline.

Nevertheless, the creators have yet to affirm any plans to delve further into Georgie’s romantic history.
