The adult Georgie is an

entrepreneur and founder of the Dr. Tire chain, likely inspired by the jobs he worked at in his youth. Unlike his intellectually smart brother, Georgie displays various aspects of socialising, recognizing the differences between irony and sarcasm and an understanding of humour.[4] However, these characteristics provided him with an unfortunate experience: a father at 17 rather than enjoying his childhood, and later divorced in his early 20’s.[5]

Character development

After George Sr. passed away, Sheldon was away at Caltech, therefore Georgie took care and responsibility over Mary and Missy, whom he described as a "mess" and a "dumb teenager", while explaining that they were protecting him from the truth.[6][7] Until the wedding of Sheldon and Amy, Georgie was not in contact with his brother for more than 10 years, yet he gladly accepted the request and attended the wedding.[8]

Marriages

In accordance with Georgie’s appearance on The Big Bang Theory, viewers of the sitcom Young Sheldon are aware of his divorces.[9] On the penultimate episode, the brothers reconcile despite all of the trauma and suffering Georgie felt. Before forgiving Sheldon, his older brother reflects on his independence and sacrifices, presumably his relationship with his first wife, to support Mary, Sheldon, and Missy.[10] Nevertheless, this theory is supported due to a narration on the first season of Young Sheldon revealing Georgie’s three wives.[11]
