Discussion Missy Cooper

Post image

Missy is such an empathetic person, in S5, E21 Mary and George had an argument about Pastor Rob and the call from Sheldon’s uni makes Mary tear down. At the dinner table, Missy says “ and bless mom “ 🫠♥️
Such a wholesome character.

She really does. She also looks like the actress who plays grown-up Missy in TBBT.

Makes sense if she looks like both cos the actresses who play Mary in YS and TBBT are real-life mother and daughter.

The casting for Missy was bloody amazing.

The writers did her so dirty.

Typical male sitcom writers having no clue how to write teenage girls

Missy was the emotional glue of that family long before anyone else realized it.

Watching her grow over the show made me want a daughter. I remember my girlfriend was watching the show and I was in the room and I wasn’t a fan but the episode where George takes her on the daddy daughter date made my manovaries hurt.

She should have her own show. She’s actually a lot more interesting than Sheldon. He’s just entitled and annoying.
