Young Sheldon Storylines Fans Still Can’t Get Over – Looper

When “Young Sheldon” kicks off, Georgie, Sheldon, and Missy’s maternal grandmother Connie Tucker, who they affectionately call Meemaw (Annie Potts), hasn’t really moved on from the death of their Pop-Pop four years earlier. As Season 1 progresses, however, she starts to form a connection with Sheldon’s professor and friend John Sturgis (Wallace Shawn). By the season finale, they’ve made their relationship official with Sheldon’s first-ever relationship contract.

“Young Sheldon” fans were thrilled to see this relationship blossom onscreen. “John and Connie are so full of love and understanding. Such a new age to touch the brewing old romance between a retired age person! Kudos to the makers for hitting the sweetest spot on the show!” u/Additional_Breath651 shared on Reddit. In another thread dedicated to the couple, u/Disney_Jazzcore added, “Can we please have John and Connie forever? They are so adorable together.”

“Young Sheldon” fans continued to agree, noting that Connie and John brought out the best in each other. However, their relationship only lasted one season, with them splitting after John’s mental breakdown at the end of Season 2. Even though Connie has since dated Dale Ballard (Craig T. Nelson), “Young Sheldon” fans are not over her split with John, and there’s even a whole Reddit thread for viewers who hope they’ll get back together.
