Ahead of Georgie & Mandy Season 2, We Take Stock of Every Young Sheldon and Big Bang Theory Easter Egg So Far

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage Season 2 premieres Thursday, Oct. 16 at 8/7c on CBS. But before that, TVLine is following up its unrivaled list of Every Big Bang Theory Easter Egg on Young Sheldon with a roundup of every Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon Easter Egg on Georgie & Mandy. More from TVLine Beyond the Gates Crosses Over With The Young and the Restless - What Brings Devon to Fairmont Crest? Casting News: Will Trent Ups Kevin Daniels to Regular, Strangers With Candy Reunion and More Mike Colter to Star in Cupertino Legal Drama From Evil's Robert and Michelle King First launched last October, Georgie & Mandy is a direct continuation of Young Sheldon, and centers on the titular couple (played by Montana Jordan and Emily Osment) as they navigate the challenges of adulthood, parenting and marriage — all while living with Mandy's parents. Whether you've kept up with the spinoff or you're simply curious, the following guide provides an up-to-date rundown of all the ways the multi-cam has paid homage to its predecessors. It All Started With a Big Bang The title itself is a play on Big Bang Theory lore: In the sitcom's 2019 series finale, we learned that Sheldon's older brother marries and divorces twice by the time he's 45… and the Young Sheldon spinoff is called Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. Every Character That Has Crossed Over Georgie & Mandy series regulars include Young Sheldon's Montana Jordan (as Georgie Cooper), Emily Osment (as Mandy McAllister), Rachel Bay Jones (as Audrey McAllister) and Will Sasso (as Jim McAllister). Dougie Baldwin also co-stars as Connor McAllister — a character originated by a different actor, Joseph Apollonio, on Young Sheldon. Recurring guests include Zoe Perry (as Mary Cooper), Raegan Revord (as Missy Cooper), Annie Potts (as Connie 'Meemaw' Tucker), Craig T. Nelson (as Dale Ballard) and Matt Hobby (as Pastor Jeff). Additionally, Lance Barber (as George Sr.) has guest-starred in one episode. Doc Farrow (as Coach Wayne Wilkins), Sarah Baker (as school librarian Sheryl Hutchins), Rebecca Metz (as police officer Lisa Gilroy) and JD Walsh (as Reverend Travis Lemon) have all reprised their Young Sheldon roles, as well. Current Count: 15 Every Actor Who Has Appeared on All Three Shows Midway through Young Sheldon Season 2, Lance Barber (George Sr.) and Montana Jordan (Georgie) appeared in an episode of The Big Bang Theory (Season 12, Episode 10). Barber also guest-starred as a different character — Leonard's high school bully, Jimmy Speckerman (Season 5, Episode 11) — six years before he was cast as Sheldon's father. Meanwhile, Melissa Tang, who played Big Bang's Mandy Chow and Young Sheldon music teacher Ms. Fenley, guest-starred as Jackie in Georgie & Mandy Season 1, Episode 8. Barber, Jordan and Tang are the only three actors who have appeared on all three shows in the Big Bang Theory universe. Current Count: 3 Every Young Sheldon Set Reused on Georgie & Mandy Georgie & Mandy's three main sets — the McAllister living room, the McAllister kitchen, and McAllister Auto & Tire — were all used on Young Sheldon, but have since been retrofitted so they are suitable for shooting in front of a live, studio audience. Additional Season 1 sets included the Cooper kitchen, Dale's kitchen, Missy's bedroom and Mary's church office, as well as the Bluebell Diner, Nate's Roundhouse, La Puerta Roja Cantina and the Medford cemetery. Current Count: 11 Every Young Sheldon Callback * Georgie drives a Ford F-250 — the same Ford F-250 that belonged to his late father, George Sr. * When Georgie embarks on a road trip with Jim and Connor on Georgie & Mandy (Season 1, Episode 7), he recalls a father-son road trip to Cape Canaveral on Young Sheldon (Season 1, Episode 8). * When Mandy was first introduced on Young Sheldon (Season 5, Episode 11), she had just relocated from San Antonio following a bad breakup with her station manager. Three years later, on Georgie & Mandy (Season 1, Episode 21), Christopher Gorham made his debut as Mandy's ex, Scott — now her boss at KGMQ News in Medford. Every Time We Hear 'Soft Kitty' Seventeen years after the children's lullaby was introduced on The Big Bang Theory (Season 1, Episode 11), Georgie sings 'Soft Kitty' to CeeCee on Georgie & Mandy (Season 1, Episode 7). // All told, the song has been sung 12 times across Big Bang, Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy.

Beyond the Gates Crosses Over With The Young and the Restless — What Brings Devon to Fairmont Crest?

As of Aug. 11, Beyond the Gates and The Young and the Restless officially exist in the same universe. Monday's episode of Beyond the Gates welcomed Bryton James as his Y&R character Devon Winters, and he had serious business to discuss with the first family of Fairmont Crest. More from TVLine Casting News: Will Trent Ups Kevin Daniels to Regular, Strangers With Candy Reunion and More Save the Dates: Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 2, Outer Banks Team's New Show and More Mike Colter to Star in Cupertino Legal Drama From Evil's Robert and Michelle King Devon entered the country club dining room towards the end of the hour, where he received a warm welcome from Anita and Vernon, who were apparently close friends with his father (played by the late Kristoff St. John). 'How we miss Neil,' Anita said. 'His smile, his big heart, his love of music.' Devon admitted to being nervous the first time his father introduced him to Anita at Indigo (aka the old jazz club on Y&R), but he seems much more at ease now — which is good, because he had a 'mind-blowing proposition' for the lead singer of the Articulettes. After being 'blown away' watching a livestream of the reunion concert, Devon knew he had his 'next platinum project' for his jazz label Winter's Mood, offering Anita a recording contract for a new album on which she would have 'complete creative control.' It was a tempting opportunity, but Anita replied, 'I simply don't have the bandwidth to record, let alone produce, an album at the moment.' Vernon suggested that Anita take a few days to reconsider, but she insisted that she needs to stay close to her family. Devon even offered to book a studio in D.C. to keep her nearby, but her mind had already been made up. She did, however, offer an enticing alternative: what if he signs Tracy and Sharon, with Anita appearing as a featured artist on several tracks? Even better, they can rerelease 'Let's Get Closer,' this time with Barbara's vocals included. It wasn't the deal he came for, but Devon seemed pretty pleased with the outcome of his brief meeting with Anita, telling her and Vernon to check out the new Winters Lounge at the Genoa City Athletic Club the next time they're in town. He also bumped into Dani on his way out of the country club. It was a blink-and-you-missed-it encounter, but Dani definitely liked what she saw. James, who was first introduced to TV viewers as Family Matters tyke Richie Crawford, has forged an impressive career in daytime. His work as Devon on The Young and the Restless, a role he has played since 2004, has earned him two Daytime Emmy Awards. Did you enjoy Beyond the Gates' first major crossover? Are you hoping that Anita will return the favor with a trip to Y&R? And which other residents of Genoa City would you like to see in Fairmont Crest? Drop a comment with your thoughts below.
