Emily Osment Urges Dolly Parton to Join CBS Show ‘Georgie & Mandy’

UPDATE: In a striking revelation, Emily Osment has expressed her desire to see Dolly Parton join the cast of her hit CBS series, Georgie & Mandy’s 1st Marriage. During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Osment made a passionate case for adding more guest stars, particularly emphasizing her wish for Parton to play a pivotal role in future episodes.

Osment stated, “I’d love to meet Mandy’s grandma, whoever that may be. We really want to know who Audrey’s mom is. Because you don’t get that way from thin air.” The actress added, “We always want Dolly Parton — that’s our No. 1 goal.”

This exciting prospect comes as the show continues to gain traction, airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Fans are eager to see how new characters could enrich the series, and Osment’s enthusiasm is palpable.

Before landing her role as Mandy, Osment was a beloved child star on Hannah Montana, where she famously shared the screen with Parton, who played Aunt Dolly. Reflecting on that experience, she said, “I’ve worked with Dolly before. I don’t know if she remembers, but it would be my dream to work with her again.”

The show, which is a spinoff of the successful The Big Bang Theory, has already introduced viewers to Georgie, who is set to explore his relationship with Mandy. Osment also expressed her hopes to bring back former co-star Melissa Peterman, saying, “I think Brenda and Audrey would be such a funny pair in town. I would love to see that friendship.”

Osment is not just focused on acting; she is also dedicated to philanthropy. She recently joined the board of American Rivers, expressing her passion for environmental preservation. “I’m really interested in the way that we preserve the life of rivers in America,” she noted, citing her recent experiences on a river trip where she connected with the organization’s mission.

As anticipation builds for future episodes of Georgie & Mandy’s 1st Marriage, Osment’s call for Parton and other guest stars underscores the show’s commitment to engaging storytelling and vibrant character development.

Fans and viewers alike are encouraged to watch for updates regarding celebrity guest appearances that could elevate the series even further. With Osment at the helm and a supportive cast, the future looks bright for this CBS hit.
