Ah, yes... I had forgotten that Cindy was pregnant at the end of that one! I guess we're left to assume she had a miscarriage. Didn't she mention having trouble getting/staying pregnant after Virginia died? It's plausible that the trouble could have begun on this briefly-mentioned-and-never-heard-of-again pregnancy.

I just joined forum to get answers about Ben and Cindi's kids. It was stated on a special that Virginia died. But what happened to little Charlie. He just disappeared like Chuck Cunningham, the oldest child on Happy Days!!!

I'm surprised the actors themselves didn't point out all the inaccuracies with the movies. Maybe they did, but the writers shrugged them off. Like some of you noted, I'm not so much of a fan of the movies, just because the overall feel was different. I still enjoyed them, but it just wasn't the same. Some are better than others though.

Speaking of consistency and the lack thereof, there were several instances of that within the series itself. I can't recall any of them specifically at the moment (sorry). I did a marathon watch of several seasons back in the fall, and I remember stopping the DVDs many times to point out consistency errors to my hubby as I noticed them. Many of them were minor things that weren't *really* important to the overall story, but I'm kind of a stickler about things like that so it would always stick out like a sore thumb to me. The worst inconsistencies definitely came from the specials, though. It drives me crazy that Charlie suddenly never existed, and Mary Ellen shown to have two (three?) more children after such a big deal was made over her not being able to have anymore children. Not to mention, John Curtis wasn't mentioned at all... no hint as to where he was, or even an indication given that *he* had ever existed. It was almost as if he had disappeared just like Charlie did. Very annoying. I have been watching seasons 6-9 the last week or so while recuperating from surgery. I discovered that the gazebo was missing when Olivia went to the Mountain to look out before she left in the Parting. I was glad that the building they brought in next to the Godsey store was still there in future episodes. |

I doubt if the writers care.... it's not a priority with them, and maybe shouldn't be with us either... I believe the scripts for the movies were meant to be pretty much standalone.... just not necessary to be very closely linked up. |

Well, they probably didn't even care about the continuity issues. This was 11 years after the previous NBC movies aired, and it wasn't an issue to them. Eric Scott said that he did talk to them about his character's son, and the producers did not pay any mind to his question. Money was probably the issue, as they did not want to have to pay more actors. The surprising thing is that the Thanksgiving Reunion movie was written by longtime Waltons writers and producers Claire Whitaker and Rod Peterson, but they probably had to do what CBS said. Not sure how much creative control there is for a TV movie. Probably works differently than an ongoing series.

Can anyone please tell me how Virginia died. I haven't seen all of the movies. Thank you From Atkins, probably our best source, and this is all that is noted: "Born during The Idol s8/e15 (first), Mother's Day on Walton's Mountain 5/9/82 (second) Died 1961 (before Walton's Thanksgiving Reunion)." So -- it does not appear that your question can be answered..... |

I never recall an episode where Virginia died - it was only mentioned in the dreadful reunion, where the Walton children, raised during the Depression and who had served in WWII, are depicted as if they were couples in their 20s in 1963.

I thought someone said somewhere that she drowned?

Some other posts on this forum mention remembering Virginia's death, but I never recall an episode in which she died - only a reference in the Thanksgiving Reunion (1963), where it seemed she'd died before she'd have been out of a high chair!
