What Happened to Georgie's Girlfriend Veronica on Young Sheldon?
Young Sheldon fans are wondering if Veronica Duncan will ever return to the show.
Although she only appeared in ten episodes over two seasons, Veronica Duncan made a memorable impression on all Young Sheldon fans.
She was introduced as a rebellious student whom Sheldon tutored and one of the love interests for his brother, Georgie.
When she first met George Jr. on Halloween, Veronica was portrayed as a reckless girl with a complicated family situation. Her father was gone and her mother's new boyfriend was abusive. Veronica had a habit of drinking, smoking, and generally making bad choices. But when she was ready to consummate her acquaintance with Georgie, Veronica saw the lust scene at Heck House and decided to reform her ways by turning to Christianity.
This only made her and Georgie's relationship sweeter, with the eldest Cooper son trying to win Veronica over and almost succeeding when the girl randomly disappeared. Georgie then moved on to another love interest, and Veronica never returned to the sitcom — to the great dismay of fans who had grown to love the well-developed character.
Many viewers noted that Veronica's arc felt half-finished when she left Young Sheldon in Season 3, so there has been speculation about what might have happened to her. While fans theorized that Veronica might have gone off to college, the show never gave a definitive answer. In the long run, it looks like the character was written out because the actress who played her found a better project to work on.
Isabel May went to play Elsa Dutton in the Yellowstone spin-off 1883, and it was one of the best decisions of her life. The series was highly praised by audiences and critics alike, and the leading lady got her fair share of recognition and fame. Unfortunately, working on the Paramount+ show must have taken a lot of time and energy, so May had to opt out of her Young Sheldon gig.
Still, fans are hoping that Isabel May will reprise her role in Young Sheldon to bring Veronica's arc to a satisfying conclusion. We know from The Big Bang Theory that George Jr. is set to have several marriages, the first of which will begin at the age of 19. Although his first wife will likely be the mother of his baby, Mandy, some fans think it could be Veronica.
Of course, only time and Young Sheldon creators will tell if that's possible.
The final two episodes of Young Sheldon Season 6 will air on CBS on May 18, 2023.
