At a press conference Thursday for the comedy, Georgie & Mandy co-creator Steve Holland confirmed that George Sr. will visit his son (Montana Jordan) in a dream. Barber is the latest Young Sheldon actor to appear in the CBS spinoff; others have included Zoe Perry, Raegan Revord, and Annie Potts.
“George is thinking about his dad, and he’s worried that his dad might be disappointed in him,” Holland told reporters about how they will incorporate Barber. “When we were breaking this episode, it just seemed like a great opportunity to bring George back.”
Co-creator Steven Molaro also teased Barber’s return on his Instagram page.
Fans of Young Sheldon last saw Barber in Young Sheldon‘s penultimate episode May 16, 2024, when his character suffered a fatal heart attack off-screen. What viewers didn’t expect, however, was that Barber appeared twice at his character’s own funeral: first as a corpse in the coffin and second, as a grieving woman inside the chapel.
Barber rocked a silver wig, off-white glasses and a wine-colored dress in the otherwise somber scene. It was a blink-and-you’ll-miss it appearance; Barber appeared in the back of the chapel while Georgie (Montana Jordan) was delivering his eulogy.
