What This Means For Georgie & Mandy
Gorham Is A Good Choice To Cause Chaos
Gorham is a small-screen veteran. He played Harrison John on the Ryan Murphy and Gina Matthew-created high school dramedyPopular, which aired on The WB for just two seasons in the late 1990s and early 2000s but developed a cult-favorite status. He also has had prominent roles inUgly Betty,Covert Affairs, andThe Lincoln Lawyer. Consideringwhat audiences know about Georgie, thanks toThe Big Bang Theory, the big question is what role Mandy’s new boss will end up having in the story.

Harrison John
Mandy’s desire to be a working mom has been a recurring themethroughout the multi-cam sitcom. Even if Gorham’s arrival doesn’t end up being the first sign of serious trouble for the married couple, leading to Georgie’s more romantically-challenged depiction inThe Big Bang Theory, it will at least pay off a thread that has been operating in the background for the show’s debut year. It could play into lead intoGeorgie & Mandyseason 2, which has been renewed.
Our Take On Gorham’s Georgie & Mandy Casting
He Should Stick Around
The Big Bang Theoryhad great guest stars.Young Sheldoncontinued the trend. It’s good forGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriageto pull from the largerTBBTuniverse, but it should also cultivate its roster of recurring veterans that can drop in seamlessly as needed. Mandy’s new boss, despite the complications, could be a good choice. That depends, though, on how his debut shakes out.
