Raegan Revord’s Favourite Sheldon & Missy Second On Younger Sheldon

There are a variety of enjoyable character dynamics on show all through “Younger Sheldon,” however I might argue essentially the most charming is the connection between Missy (Raegan Revord) and Sheldon (Iain Armitage). They is likely to be fraternal twins, however Missy is unhealthy at college and nice with folks whereas Sheldon is, effectively, the alternative. But, though the 2 don’t have anything in frequent, they’re nonetheless there for one another each time it counts. Take as an illustration the second within the season 4 finale, “The Wild and Woolly World of Nonlinear Dynamics,” the place Missy needs to run away and Sheldon follows her. 

“I am sorry, however I can not allow you to wander at evening by your self. I am your massive brother,” Sheldon tells her. When Missy factors out that they are twins, Sheldon responds, “I used to be born two minutes earlier, which apparently makes me accountable for you … I am not blissful about it both, however right here we’re.” This was a stand-out second for Raegan Revord, who named it in a 2024 interview as certainly one of her favourite moments within the sequence: 

“If I needed to choose, it could most likely be each time Missy and Sheldon go into that little shack within the woods as a result of Missy is working away. It was actually candy as a result of certainly one of Sheldon’s strains is one thing like, ‘I am older by ten minutes, so I’ve to be careful for you,’ or one thing like that. I am like, ‘Oh, that is so candy.” It was a enjoyable scene to movie off-screen. It is a enjoyable scene to observe. I like it.”

This second is especially candy given how far aside Sheldon and Missy develop all through the sequence. As Sheldon climbs the training ladder whereas Missy goes by faculty at a daily tempo, the good moments between them develop fewer and farther between. There’s an additional sense of melancholy right here for followers of the present’s father or mother sequence, “The Massive Bang Principle,” as a result of that present establishes that Sheldon leaves his household for Caltech at solely 14 years previous, and that he does not see Missy that usually from that time ahead. By season 4, not solely have Sheldon and Missy been rising aside, however we all know the issue’s solely going to worsen from right here. 

“I feel one factor that makes the Missy and Sheldon bonding scenes so candy is that they do not occur usually,” Revord defined in the identical interview. “And so everytime you do get a time when Missy goes by one thing, or Sheldon goes by one thing, and the opposite twin is there for them, it actually exhibits that though they argue, though they won’t see eye-to-eye on a regular basis, they nonetheless do love one another.”

When Revord was requested about her character’s favourite relationship all through the sequence, she talked about Missy’s father, George Sr. (Lance Barber). Like together with her and Sheldon, there’s an undercurrent of looming tragedy behind Missy and George Sr.’s scenes, and “Younger Sheldon” has at all times made essentially the most of it. As Revord defined:  

“The Missy and George bonding scenes are my favourite factor ever and my favourite to movie. George and Missy have the identical relationship as my dad and I, and Lance and I’ve the identical relationship as my dad and I, so it is at all times a lot enjoyable to movie. It is simply us being us. … Actually, any George and Missy scene or episode is my favourite.“
