As the curtains closed on the 'Young Sheldon' series, a puzzling sight left many fans in awe. Lance Barber, who portrayed the character of George, was rumoured to have attended his own character's funeral disguised as an old woman. This bizarre occurrence fueled speculations and theories among viewers.
Whilst at the time the cast joked he’d gone as the female version of himself, named “Georgina”, there’s a theory of who he was actually meant to be disguised as, whilst hiding in the background of George’s funeral.
A detail in the final act that left hearts aching was the absence of George's sister, Ruth. Not only was she unmentioned during the funeral proceedings, but she also never appeared on the show. Even though Ruth was previously referenced, audiences held onto the hope that she might make an appearance at her brother's last farewell.
Her lack of showing up is symbolic of just how isolated George was, after prioritising his wife and children. This choice of Ruth not being shown truly highlights George’s devotion to his new, immediate family over his born, existing one.
All of George’s other closest friends, relatives and colleagues went to the ceremony.But now, fans are theorising Lance going to his own funeral dressed as a woman was in fact meant to be Ruth. I mean, it’s his sister – so the characters would look alike!
Despite George and Ruth not having a good relationship, it would have been expected for Ruth to make the trip to Medford to say goodbye to her brother.
If she did, it would also be expected for her to probably opt to sit at the back and not make a big deal of herself being there – much like Lance did dressed up as an old lady.
Look, it makes sense!
