The Young Sheldon spin-off, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, is reportedly gearing up for a special guest appearance from a fan-favorite deceased character from the parent series for an upcoming episode of Season 2.

Montana Jordan and Emily Osment star as Georgie Cooper and Mandy McAllister, alongside a supporting cast that includes Rachel Bay Jones, Will Sasso, Dougie Baldwin, and Jessie Prez, among others.
Lance Barber and others are returning in a new episode of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage
TVLine recently reported that Lance Barber, who played Georgie Cooper’s late father, George Cooper Sr., in Young Sheldon, will return as the character in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Season 2 Episode 18. This will mark George Sr.’s second appearance in the sitcom. He previously appeared in Season 1 Episode 12, “Typhoid Georgie.”
In the episode, a sick Georgie, forced to take a leave from work and rest, has two dreams where he sees George. In the first dream, George mocks his son for skipping work. This prompts the latter to try to return to work, only for his brother-in-law, Connor, to force him back to bed and demand that he rest.
In a subsequent dream, Georgie makes it clear to his late father that he wants to be around for his daughter, CeeCee, due to which he doesn’t want to work to death. Hearing this, George expresses pride in his son by placing his hand on his shoulder and telling him, “I did a good job raising you.”
Barber isn’t the only Young Sheldon alum returning for the upcoming episode. Also returning for the installment are Zoe Perry (Mary Cooper), Raegan Revord (Missy Cooper), Doc Farrow (Coach Wilkins), and Rex Linn (Principal Petersen). While Perry, Revord, and Farrow have appeared in previous episodes in a recurring capacity, this episode will mark Linn’s debut in the Young Sheldon spin-off.
Meanwhile, Matt Letscher, who has recurred as Georgie and Ruben’s business rival, Fred Fagenbacher, in the series, will also appear in the episode.
Plot details for the upcoming episode are unknown. Accordingly, how Lance Barber’s George Cooper Sr. will be utilized in it, whether it be a dream sequence or flashback, remains to be seen.
