And to think that Richard Thomas played Virginia's dad in the 1991 TV movie: "Yes Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus"

Yes Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus
How come that movie isn't available on DVD in US? All I can find is the PAL version

When and how did Virginia (Ben and Cindy's little girl) die. Which season and episode? Thank you, Donna Hi Donna, There was no episode where Virginia died. 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.

Hi Everyone, it seems so long since I came on site. I am just watching 'A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion' and I too wondered in which episode Virginia died. It also made me think about Mary Ellens son John Curtis. In this episode, she calls her son Clay. I think she must have had children with jonesy when they married. But yes, the question for me is, where is Jon Curtis? There must be a reason why he has been written out.

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....
Oh, I disagree. Continuity should be a major concern on a continuing series such as The Waltons. There should be one or two people whose job it is to look for inconsistencies. These people should be familiar with every episode, and have the authority to advise writers (or tell writers) what's wrong with the current plot.
People think that we, the viewers, won't notice. But we do.
