Young Sheldon fans are only four episodes away from the Season 7 finale, and they’re split on whether a fan favorite willactuallyreturn.
Slowly but surely, details about theYoung Sheldon Season 7 finaleare starting to come together. However, fans are still divided on whether one fan-favorite character — Paige — will actually return.
Last seen in Season 6 riding out a rebellious streak alongside Missy, set photos appear to have confirmed thatPaige will be returningfor one last appearance, but as more episodes pass by, hope is beginning to slip.
“Every week I’ve hoped for a Paige appearance but it hasn’t happened and now we’re super close to the end of the season and Paige still hasn’t shown up once,” one fancomplainedon Reddit. “I’m legit starting to give up hope of her appearing. She’s one of my favorite characters and I always enjoyed her occasional appearances each season but I’m starting to doubt her appearing in the season. But at the same time though, it makes no sense since they never even wrapped up her story properly whatsoever. Do you guys think Paige will end up appearing?”
A secondweighed in: “It sounds like they plan to tie up some storylines before and during the finale, but am guessing with our short time frame that might just mean adult Sheldon narrating some bits and pieces. I too hope they at least mention Paige!”
Paige isn’t the only one of Sheldon’s friends — though he’d probably prefer to call them “colleagues” — that is missing from action, withTam having exited the series in Season 4. Unlike speculation around Paige, Tam hasofficially been given the green lightto return, likely being seen in Episodes 13 or 14.
A third fan summed up: “Sometimes childhood friends disappear into the world and you never know what happened them. Even on TV shows.”
