The Sparks Kids, What Happened to Bobbi?


I'm quite behind on my YS watching. I don't have cable and I just got seasons four and five. Billy Sparks is still around. The boy is an absolute hoot! So funny.

But does anyone know what happened to his little sis Bobbi, the pint size terror who put fear in Sheldon's heart as he ran from the school bus to his front door!

I rewatched the episode with Bobbi. Her dad was incredulous that his little gal was bullying Sheldon (You realize I've taken dumps bigger than her? lol)

She seems to have disappeared off the canvas. I just watched the episode when Mary send the twins to have dinner with the Sparks family because they were discussing the Georgie/Mandy situation. I don't recall seeing her then or in other episodes.

Did the same fate befall her as Ritchie Cunningham's brother on Happy Days?

The little girl was so cute and hardly looked scary. On TBBT when Sheldon first encounters his enemy Will Wheaton, he mentions some of the other enemies on his list like Billy Sparks (who put dog poop on his bicycle handles). Of course Young Sheldon was a show not yet written. But too bad he couldn't have said that one of his enemies was his "pint sized blonde neighbor who caused him to race from the school bus" every afternoon.

"She was scary. I didn't let her size fool me. That's why I flinch from Penny sometimes."

Billy is one o& my favorites, and he’s gets such great lines.
I explain away Bobbi as Hershel won her in the divorce

He’s one of my favorites too. As a mom I just can’t help but love him. I’m southern and often think “awe bless his heart.” Lol I agree he has a lot of great lines. They are simple and short lines too. The actor who plays him does an amazing job

George: I got to run him to the emergency room, see you when we get back
Billy: Have Fun!

If Herschel got custody, that would explain it. But why would a man take his little girl and leave his adolescent son behind? I wondered.

But anyway, I was watching season five the other day and apparently she was still with her mom. It was the season premier when Brenda saw George in the bar and they started talking. Brenda says twice that "he has the kids tonight", so apparently Bobbi was still at home, just unseen by the audience.
