## Key points

- Annie Potts disliked the finale’s adult Sheldon cameo.
- She felt it erased the character’s growth in the prequel.
- Potts continues in *Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage*.

## Summary

Annie Potts, who played Meemaw in *Young Sheldon*, has criticised the show’s finale for bringing back Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik as the older Sheldon and Amy. She felt the scene undermined the prequel’s portrayal of Sheldon’s growth by suggesting he remained selfish and unrepentant, and said the story could have ended with the younger version of the character.

Potts shared her reaction in a newly released book about the series, two years after the finale aired. The ending linked *Young Sheldon* to *The Big Bang Theory*, showing adult Sheldon writing his memoir and reuniting with Amy, now parents of two children; Potts said the cameo left her feeling that the characters’ return intruded on the prequel’s own story. She has since continued as Meemaw in the spin-off *Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage*.
