The Big Picture While CBS's Young Sheldon closed the book on Sheldon Cooper's childhood in its recent series finale, it left many with some questions. One of them includes the absence of certain characters that were once regulars in the comedy series, most specifically Paige. Fortunately, the show's executive producer, Steve Holland, addressed these queries in an interview with TVLine, claiming that the young female genius' story ended in the previous season.
"When we got into this season, especially with it being a shortened season, we never thought that was an arc that needed more closing than it got. There was a parallel; she was a bit of a mirror image of Sheldon — a different way that Sheldon could have turned out — and I think we saw that play out," Holland explained. “ she is not a huge part of Sheldon’s life; she’s more of Missy’s friend in the show than she is Sheldon’s friend.
"I don’t think she’s not mentioned because she went down a dark path and is dead in Big Bang Theory . For us, it was just an interesting way to explore another kid who had a similar thing to Sheldon and the different roads that they could take." Paige's last appearance was in the season 6 episode "A Stolen Truck and Going on the Lam," when she ran away with Missy to go to Florida to start a new life but got caught by police and was sent back home with her mother.
