As Younger Sheldon followers anticipated, George Cooper died within the penultimate episode of the CBS comedy that wrapped for good on Might 16.
What they didn’t count on was that Lance Barber, who’s performed Sheldon’s lovable pop George, would seem twice at his character’s personal funeral: first as a corpse within the coffin and second, as a grieving lady contained in the chapel.
A spokesperson for the comedy confirmed what eagle eye followers had already observed: that was, certainly, Barber rocking a silver wig, off-white glasses and a wine-colored costume within the in any other case somber scene. It was a blink-and-you’ll-miss it look; Barber appeared behind the chapel whereas Georgie (Montana Jordan) was delivering his eulogy.
The spokesperson for the present advised Deadline that Barber “stunned everybody and confirmed up like that.”
Government Producer Steve Holland advised Deadline they stored George’s dying off-camera for a motive.
“We didn’t wish to witness that second of his dying,” Holland stated. “We at all times knew we have been going to take care of his dying this season, however we by no means thought of seeing it on digital camera. So actually the dialogue was when it might occur in the middle of the previous couple of episodes and the way the household would get the information.”
The producers determined to have George die within the penultimate episode so the finale may finish in a extra upbeat method. “I believe Chuck Lorre stated the present has been such a constructive, loving household present. Let’s not depart the viewers wallowing in grief,” Holland stated. “Perhaps there’s a approach to try this after which transfer previous it and present the household beginning to put itself again collectively and finish on slightly bit extra of a second of hope.”
