Paige's Absence In TBBT Has Fans Questioning Her Future

To promote "Young Sheldon," Iain Armitage and Mckenna Grace stopped by Entertainment Tonight, but not to be interviewed simultaneously. Rather, they would interview one another, asking each other alternating questions about their characters, the show, and their personal lives. One of the questions presented to Grace by Armitage regarded who she would've liked to see play the adult version of Paige Swanson on "The Big Bang Theory" had the chance arisen. In no time at all, she voiced her interest in seeing Reese Witherspoon tackle the role.

"I think Reese Witherspoon, cause she's a lot like Paige in 'Legally Blonde,'" Grace told her co-star, comparing Paige to Witherspoon's "Legally Blonde" character Elle Woods. Armitage seemed supportive of the pick, having worked with Witherspoon before and had a blast doing so. Perhaps via the recently announced "Big Bang Theory" spinoff series Grace's dream casting could become a reality. If that were to happen, surely many "Young Sheldon" fans would be delighted to learn about Paige's adult life.

For the time being, however, the fate of Paige Swanson remains a mystery. Fingers crossed we'll learn what became of her between "Young Sheldon" and "The Big Bang Theory" someday.
