Young Sheldon has broken quite a few canons established by The Big Bang Theory over the years, and few of them have been explained to the audience.
Connie Tucker, played by Annie Potts, is one feisty woman on Young Sheldon.
She is fun, open-minded, and very non-traditional in everything she does. However, she is nothing like Sheldon's Meemaw, portrayed by June Squibb, who we occasionally see on The Big Bang Theory.
Only a little over 20 years have passed between the two shows' timelines, but Connie seems like a totally different person. In the 2016 TBBT episode, The Meemaw Materialization, she is more like Mary, Sheldon's mom – strict, religious, and uptight.
What could've happened to change Meemaw so much?
One Reddit fan has proposed the craziest theory to explain that. What if Connie actually died in the early years of The Big Bang Theory and the Coopers hired an actor to pretend to be her because they thought that Sheldon would snap over losing his Meemaw?
That's an interesting thought to entertain. By that time, Sheldon's Pop-Pop and father had already passed away, and we don't know how well he took it.
