Why isn’t Paige in Young Sheldon Season 7?

McKenna Grace played Paige’s character in Young Sheldon. 

She is absent from Season 7 mainly due to scheduling conflicts with the actress and the showrunners feeling that her storyline had already reached a natural conclusion. While Paige was an important character who paralleled Sheldon’s experiences, the creators felt her arc didn’t require further closure. 

Additionally, she was never retrofitted into The Big Bang Theory, which reduced the need to bring her back in the final season

What Happened to Paige in Young Sheldon?

During the interview with TV Line, the show’s executive producer Steven Holland unveiled the truth of her departure. And why there was no ending storyline for her character in Young Sheldon’s finale. 

“When we got into the season it was a shortened season. But we never think that the Paige character gets the arc more closing than it got.”

Holland also said “Mckenna is incredible that is due to because she is a movie star recently played in Ghostbusters and Frozen Empire. It was difficult to get her in the finale due to her busy schedule.”

People questioned him why she just appeared in nine episodes of Young Sheldon. Then Steven responded what’s more three episodes overlapped with Big Bang Theory season 12. Her role was expanded with time.  “Big Bang was done and there was no way to go, ‘Can we go back and retrofit [her] into Big Bang Theory?”

Exploring Fans Perceptions of Paige’s Climatic Exit? 

She was last time seen in episode 16 of season 6 with Missy. When they planned to steal George’s truck because they wanted to go to Flordia to start a new life. Then, a deputy caught them and took them to the police station. Missy mother took her but there was no update about Paige.

Because she is going through the dark time of her life without any emotional support. She is suffering from mental trauma and cannot find any way to get out of it. So, we all need to expect her death in the upcoming episodes of Young Sheldon. 

Some people said she is an Einstein in science. So maybe she came back with a solid background in science to compete with Sheldon as a Scientist. 

How Old is Paige in Young Sheldon?

At the time of her first appearance in Season 2, Paige is around 10 or 11 years old, the same age as Sheldon. 

Both characters are intellectually advanced but struggle with social interactions due to their intelligence. As the series progresses, Paige’s personal challenges grow, especially after her parents’ divorce, which affects her academic trajectory.

Who is more Smarter “Paige” or “Sheldon”? 

Paige is smarter than 9-year-old Sheldon. She grabbed the things more quickly with her remarkable smartness and not as jealous as Sheldon. Paige was extremely outgoing, extroverted, and fostered in building relationships.

As with the TV line show producer said she was not a huge part of the show. But a mirror image of the Sheldon– a different way the Sheldon could have turned out. And I think we saw it played out. 

Final Words: 

Steven clears all the speculations about the sudden departure of Paige. She also said a lot of rumors circulated on social media about her dark time. This does not suggest that she is still suffering now. 

Paige character says, that a genius should not always be introverted and stick with books. You can be social and enjoy your life on your own values. But it also tells us how the lack of a family support system compels an acumen to commit crimes.
