Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage), though, is not expected to return and executive producerSteve Hollandpreviously explained why Cece’s uncle would be missing from the holiday dinner,saying,
“Sheldon is in California now, so if Sheldon is coming into the story, there has to be a bigger reason for it. If we can find a story where he is used to inform our characters, then that’s great. But we also know from Big Bang, in that [Season 11] discussion with Adult Georgie, that Sheldon didn’t come home a lot. He left and didn’t come [back] much, and Georgie was left to pick up the brunt of the family baggage.”
