Reddit's 5 Favorite Minor Characters from Young Sheldon

Whether it's adding a little sparkle or just helping to create the world that the protagonists inhabit, they add life to a show and help viewers connect with the action. So a big shout out to all the supporting characters we love.

And while we're celebrating them, let's take a look at Young Sheldon's five most popular supporting characters (according to Reddit).

5. Sheryl Hutchins

The school librarian was not only a nice, light-hearted character. She was also one of the few staff members who liked Sheldon. And the scene where she says she'll probably go to her cat's planet when she dies was tragically heartwarming.

4. Mr Lundy

Every school has a Mr Lundy; someone who is convinced they were cut out for something else, but somehow fell into teaching. He was a little over the top, and you wouldn't have wanted him in the show much longer than he already was. But he was thoroughly entertaining.

3. Paige

Paige was popular with fans of the show - but probably because we felt sorry for her. Her storyline was tragic, as she spiralled out of control, and at times felt a bit heavy for the show.

Still, you couldn't help but love her. And every fan of Young Sheldon was surely rooting for her to pull herself together.

2. Tam

Tam was an important character who enabled Sheldon to talk about the normal aspects of growing up. One of the awkward things about The Big Bang Theory was how often Sheldon would say that he never fit in at school and had no friends. So it was nice to learn that this wasn't quite true.

Maybe he didn't see Tam as a real friend, but the two misfits certainly had a close bond.

1. Billy Sparks

The complete opposite of Sheldon. Billy was nice enough, but by far the least intelligent character in the show. But he was loveable. And while he may not have had a huge impact on the plot - or Sheldon's character arc - he did make an impression on fans, with one Redditor even calling him 'underrated'.

Of course, there were plenty of minor characters who enriched the show, and there's not room to list them all here. But these were the ones that stood out the most in the eyes of those Redditors who wanted to make their opinions known.
