Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage Casts Mandy’s Ex-Boyfriend, Now Her New Boss, For Final Season 1 Episodes
The latest update on Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage reveals that Mandy’s ex will join the show. A spinoff of Young Sheldon, from creators Steven Molaro, Steve Holland, and Chuck Lorre, Georgie & Mandy focuses on the titular newlyweds played by Montana Jordan and Emily Osment. However, as shown in The Big Bang Theory, which follows an adult Sheldon, Georgie’s happy marriage with Mandy doesn’t last. The… which also includes Rachel Bay Jones, Will Sasso, Dougie Baldwin, and Jessie Prez, is welcoming a familiar face that could shake things up.
reports that Popular and Covert Affairs actor Christopher Gorham is joining Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. He will play Scott, Mandy’s new boss, who shares a romantic history with her. It’s teased that his presence will complicate things for the main couple. Gorham will appear in the final two episodes of Georgie & Mandy season 1, which CBS will air back to back on May 15, starting at 8 PM ET.
What This Means For Georgie & Mandy
Gorham Is A Good Choice To Cause Chaos
Gorham is a small-screen veteran. He played Harrison John on the Ryan Murphy and Gina Matthew-created high school dramedy Popular, which aired on The WB for just two seasons in the late 1990s and early 2000s but developed a cult-favorite status. He also has had prominent roles in Ugly Betty, Covert Affairs, and The Lincoln Lawyer. Considering… thanks to The Big Bang Theory, the big question is what role Mandy’s new boss will end up having in the story.
| Christopher Gorham’s Notable Roles | |
|---|---|
| Project | Gorham’s Character |
| The Lincoln Lawyer (2022) | Trevor Elliot |
| Insatiable (2018-2019) | Bob Barnard |
| Covert Affairs (2010-2014) | Auggie Anderson |
| Ugly Betty (2006-2010) | Henry Grubstick |
| Popular (1999-2001) | Harrison John |
Mandy’s desire to be a working mom has been a recurring theme throughout the multi-cam sitcom. Even if Gorham’s arrival doesn’t end up being the first sign of serious trouble for the married couple, leading to Georgie’s more romantically-challenged depiction in The Big Bang Theory, it will at least pay off a thread that has been operating in the background for the show’s debut year. It could play into lead into… which has been renewed.
Our Take On Gorham’s Georgie & Mandy Casting
He Should Stick Around
… Young Sheldon continued the trend. It’s good for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage to pull from the larger TBBT universe, but it should also cultivate its roster of recurring veterans that can drop in seamlessly as needed. Mandy’s new boss, despite the complications, could be a good choice. That depends, though, on how his debut shakes out.
