We only know that she died because it was mentioned in the Waltons Thanksgiving Movie. We also don't know what happened to Ben and Cindy's son, Charlie, or Mary Ellen's son, John Curtis. They both seem to have been totally forgotten as if they never existed. |

it was A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion the next movie where Virginia is said to have died. |

Tonyray is correct. It's in the 1993 movie, A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion, that we learn that Virginia has died. It is the one set around the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy.

Thank you. I was watching a Day for Thanks. So strange that they would have Virginia die and make Charlie disappear in the Thanksgiving Reunion.

When it comes to the timeline or people disappearing or showing up as someone different, nothing is strange to me anymore ! ... I almost look forward to it !!  |

Like the last movie A Walton Easter it took place around the first moon landing in 1969 but that happened July 20 1969 and Easter was April 6th that year.

When and how did Virginia (Ben and Cindy's little girl) die. Which season and episode? Thank you, Donna Donna, you have raised once more the mystery of the missing Walton children  It has been much discussed but never resolved and to top things off Cindy was even missing from the final Walton movie instalment A Walton Easter where John-Boy's twins are born and no mention is made of her by Ben or anyone! just what was going round in the heads of those writers? There have been theories thrown around regarding the fate of Virginia - someone even wrote on a wiki page that she had drowned as a child but this was refuted by Eric Scott himself. She dies and Charlie just disappeared. What intrigues me most now about Virginia's death is the timing of it - during the film A Waltons Thanksgiving Reunion, Cindy and Ben are grieving for Virginia and we are given the very strong impression that she has only recently died but Cindy is speaking about Virginia as though they have lost a toddler or a young child. The film is set in 1963 which of course, knowing Virginia was born during WW2, would make Virginia approx 20 years old. Yet Ben and Cindy speak about still hearing childrens voices around their home. The anomalies abound and I guess we should cease trying to make sense of what the writers did with those movie specials lest we go completely doo-lally! Oh, and did anyone know that Kami Cotler was pregnant during the filming of A Walton Easter? I didn't and only just found out! |

With almost any given production, the writers/producers/directors seldom give any thought to following the timeline and characters that existed in earlier shows (with the possible exception of soaps) -- All they care about is the current project, and they want it to stand alone as a good story.... Simple as that  -- it's not their focus, nor should it be (IMO, based on years in the business).... just trying to explain how it all works, usually....

You are right, Jeri. I try to enjoy each new show without analyzing it to death. That would drive me crazy!

Well after a show was on for 9 or 10 years and had grown such a loyal fan base, it was foolish for them to have such an obvious lack of continuity like missing characters. If they didn't want to deal with Virginia (and Charlie for that matter) they could have just as easily said they were off at college, which would have made sense chronologically. But it's all over now and unfortunately they didn't ask our advice. |

You are right, Jeri. I try to enjoy each new show without analyzing it to death. That would drive me crazy! I've tried to explain the concept a few times before and struggle to come up with the right words.... I'll try this -- It's the "art" which must be considered.... with each new production, the producer/writer/director very specifically avoid anything linking to prior productions.... they don't want viewers to need prior knowledge or expect much continuity.... they want them to appreciate the new show on its own.... a few similarities or hints can work well and the connection can feel right -- but, in the long run, the longevity of the production's appreciation/popularity will be greater if it stands only on its own merits.... For supposed fans to "analyze it to death" can display a certain lack of loyalty, perhaps a lack of vision regarding the real purpose of the production.
My struggle is to help people love the productions for what they are, not for what they think they should be ... hope I'm beginning to make some sense !!
