The Return of a TBBT Favorite: Young Sheldon's Guest Star Excites Fans, But One Actor's Comeback Is Still Awaited
Amy's presence is welcome, but fans are holding out for the ultimate reunion.
The series finale of Young Sheldon will feature Jim Parsons reprising his role as Sheldon. However, fans may find his appearance lacking if another character from The Big Bang Theory isn't brought back. In just three months, the origin story of Sheldon on CBS will come to an end. It's a bit surprising that the show is ending, considering its success, especially after gaining popularity on Netflix. Nevertheless, the decision to cancel Young Sheldon is tied to The Big Bang Theory's continuity, even though the show has evolved beyond its original premise.
Before the spinoff concludes, there are still some loose ends that need to be tied up, some of which don't involve Sheldon. However, the focus will be on wrapping up the young genius' ****storyline in Texas and transitioning him to his future life in Pasadena, California. One way to achieve this is by including Parsons' Sheldon and Mayim Bialik's Amy in the series finale of Young Sheldon. While it would be exciting to see the beloved couple, it wouldn't truly be a satisfying tribute to The Big Bang Theory without reuniting Sheldon with Leonard.

Young Sheldon delves into the backstory of Sheldon, shedding light on the origins of his unique quirks and preferences. The show also explores many of his childhood experiences. Before Amy's character was introduced in The Big Bang Theory, Leonard had already been a significant figure in Sheldon's life. When Sheldon moved to Pasadena at the age of 14, it's unclear how he adjusted to his new living situation. However, it's evident that things took a turn for the better when he met his roommate and best friend.
Sheldon not only found someone who shared his professional and personal interests but also found a loyal friend in Leonard. Together, they brought Raj and Howard into Sheldon's social circle, creating a close-knit group.
Young Sheldon has honored various aspects of Sheldon's life from The Big Bang Theory, including voice cameos from Howard and Amy updating on their relationships with Sheldon. Surprisingly, the prequel has yet to introduce a key person from his adult life.
The one-hour finale of Young Sheldon airs on Thursday, May 16th, on CBS.

Amy joined The Big Bang Theory in season 3 and later became a regular cast member. Her presence allowed for a romantic ****storyline with Sheldon, something that even Lorre had doubts about. She showed patience and understanding towards Sheldon's quirks as a socially-awkward genius. As predicted by a fortune-teller, Sheldon's life improved with Amy by his side. However, Leonard's role in Sheldon's life was also crucial. Without him, Sheldon's life would have been drastically different and possibly unhappy, as seen in Paige's Young Sheldon ****storyline.
Traces of Sheldon's loneliness are beginning to show in the latter seasons of Young Sheldon as the storytelling evolves. The Cooper family members are dealing with their own ****storylines, leaving the boy genius to fend for himself. Unfortunately, his good friend Tam has been phased out, leaving Sheldon more isolated than ever. Without meeting Leonard in The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon would have continued to struggle with loneliness despite claiming to be content on his own.

A potential appearance by Leonard in the Young Sheldon series finale would be a great addition to Sheldon's story. Not only that, it would also benefit Johnny Galecki's beloved character. The Big Bang Theory finale had mixed reactions, especially regarding how Leonard and Penny's ****storyline concluded. The sudden pregnancy reveal received criticism for being rushed, even Kaley Cuoco was not a fan. Leonard's cameo in the Young Sheldon finale could potentially address this by providing an update on the current life of the Hofstadters.
This cameo could offer reassurance to those concerned that Penny was forced into motherhood after an accidental pregnancy. Leonard's appearance doesn't have to be lengthy, but it would be nice to hear about how his wife is doing. Additionally, it would be a delightful surprise if Cuoco could also make an appearance alongside him in the prequel series.
Young Sheldon Season 7 airs every Thursday, 8pm ET on CBS.
