Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is within the again half of Season 1, and whereas the finale might usher in a brand new character that stirs up hassle for the married couple, Montana Jordan is making psychological plans relating to Mandy’s future relations whom Georgie might work together with sooner or later. The actor gave an A+ pitch for a way nation legend Dolly Parton might feasibly seem down the road, and I can solely hope no person named Jolene tries to squash this concept.
Jordan and Emily Osment stopped by The Jennifer Hudson Present and talked about their hit comedy, which was just lately renewed for Season 2 on CBS. (Followers can stream all the present episodes anytime with a Paramount+ subscription.) When Hudson requested the duo who their dream visitor star can be, the Georgie actor revealed his grand concept to sway the enduring songstress to the sitcom. As he put it:
Mandy doesn’t have a grandmother within the present, OK. So, how nice would it not be for Ms. Dolly Parton to play her grandmother?
Dolly Parton in Southern Grandma mode is a reasonably nice situation in any capability, and as Jennifer Hudson identified, it’d make for a reunion between Dolly Parton and Emily Osment. Parton was a visitor star on three episodes of Hannah Montana, all of which can be found to stream with a Disney+ subscription. However would the nation icon particularly be a great match to play Mandy’s meemaw?
I’ve my reservations, particularly because the present is rooted in actuality, and Dolly Parton is presumably simply as beloved on this universe as every other. However that might simply be defined away. And after listening to Jordan’s idealized scene for Parton, I can actually see the enchantment in her taking part in Mandy’s grandma.
I simply suppose it might be nice for Meemaw and Dolly Parton to have a scene the place they’re bickering about one thing or no matter is happening. I believe it might be excellent.
I’d like it if Mandy’s grandma was one way or the other tied up in Connie’s new hustle as a bookie and the drama that might unfold with that. All of that stated, Parton’s pure southern accent is an efficient deal thicker than anybody within the McAllister household in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, so viewers may need hassle seeing her as somebody associated to Mandy and her mother and father.
I believe one other attainable method for Dolly Parton to look can be by way of Mandy’s brother Connor, who has already proven he is somebody who has connections. He’s mates with Jay Leno, and given his musical abilities, it would not be exhausting to imagine he additionally knew Parton. One barrier can be making Parton look the identical as she did three a long time in the past within the sitcom, so perhaps Montana Jordan was onto one thing by making her a distinct character.
No matter the way it occurs, I hope for extra visitor stars on Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage earlier than the couple splits. The explanations for them to go their separate methods are piling up, however they preserve discovering methods to work by means of their points. We could have a great stretch of time earlier than they lastly break up up, however we will solely wait and see.
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage airs on CBS on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET. Season 1 continues to be going sturdy in April, however the season finale is developing in Could, so remember to catch up!
