Why Sheldon Won’t Be In the Thanksgiving Episode
Almost everyone is present at Thanksgiving except Sheldon, who moved to California at the end ofYoung Sheldon. Executive producerSteve Hollandpreviously talked to TV Line aboutSheldon’s absence from the episodeor any other appearance. He reiterated the importance of giving the sequel its own identity and not upsetting the universe’s canon. According toThe Big Bang Theory, Sheldon has never been home much since he left Texas. Holland previewedthe two main reasons Sheldon won’t appear, saying,
“Sheldon is in California now, so if Sheldon is coming into the story, there has to be a bigger reason for it. If we can find a story where he is used to inform our characters, then that’s great. But we also know from Big Bang, in that [Season 11] discussion with Adult Georgie, that Sheldon didn’t come home a lot. He left and didn’t come [back] much, and Georgie was left to pick up the brunt of the family baggage.”
