Summary
Paige's appearance in The Big Bang Theory could have prevented plot inconsistencies and fact-checked Sheldon's childhood stories.
Paige's unique dynamic added a captivating element to Sheldon's upbringing as a child prodigy in Texas. Her presence had the potential to spark a romantic relationship between Sheldon and her, rather than him ultimately ending up with Amy.
A new meme for The Big Bang Theory has emerged, featuring adult Paige paying a visit to Sheldon in Pasadena. Paige, a memorable character from Young Sheldon, was a talented child prodigy hailing from Texas just like Sheldon. However, her life took a downturn following her parents' divorce, leading to rebellious behavior. Surprisingly, The Big Bang Theory never acknowledged Paige's storyline, leaving it unresolved. But, Reddit user u/Jimmyhopps/ has imaginatively envisioned how the show would have been with Paige. Take a look at the amusing meme below:
Paige occupies Sheldon's usual seat on the couch at Apartment 4A in The Big Bang Theory meme. Despite their long-standing acquaintance from childhood in Texas, Sheldon predictably insists on evicting her, asserting that the seat belongs exclusively to him.
How Paige’s Appearance Would Have Changed Big Bang Theory
Although not a regular character, Paige has become an indispensable part of Young Sheldon. By bringing her back each season, CBS has consistently developed her personal storyline. The fact that she is a prequel character overlooked by The Big Bang Theory has allowed the series to explore her story in intriguing ways. However, it is impossible to ignore the impact her presence on the parent series would have had, particularly considering her unique dynamic with Sheldon.
Firstly, if Paige had existed in The Big Bang Theory, it would have prevented numerous plot inconsistencies between the shows. With her fact-checking Sheldon's childhood stories, he would not have been able to get away with his lies. Secondly, Sheldon's experience growing up as a child prodigy in Texas would have been less remarkable since it would not have been an exceptional occurrence. Lastly, the most significant change would have been that CBS would not have felt the need to introduce Amy as Sheldon's love interest. Instead, they may have been more inclined to develop a romantic relationship between Sheldon and Paige.
Given the possibility of Young Sheldon season 7 being its final season, it is crucial that the spin-off provides a satisfactory conclusion to Paige's turbulent storyline. Failure to do so may result in her narrative branching off into a separate project. There are reports that Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Prods. are in the process of developing a potential spin-off for The Big Bang Theory. Despite the setback caused by the WGA strike, if this spin-off does progress, Paige's arc could serve as a captivating foundation for it.
