Don't get me wrong, I am not saying I am an Alpha male...AT ALL In fact, I would bet that a true Alpha male wouldn't watch the Waltons. Oh please, real men can watch the Waltons Hey, I didn't say Alpha males were the only real type of man.....

I liked Chad. I had a big crush on Michael O'Keefe. Jackie did "Fred" wrong. You have to See "The Great Santini" with Him and Robert Duvall... That movie was like , maybe, a year after his Walton appearance.

Manosphere ? No it isn't. ..Scarlett, you know a lot about horses. Do wild horses in the wild have that alpha male set up like Monkeys and Lions and stuff ? Ya know, One horse that is the leader and protector of the rest of the pack? Actually there is a lead mare (horses do not need to be wild, just have enough horses and room to get together) that controls the herd. The stallion breeds, eats, sleeps and will protect the herd. The breeding is only going to happen for a short time once a year so mostly he eats and sleeps. The younger males (sons of the stallion) are called bachelors and can stay with the herd as long as the do not try to breed. Once they make a move on the ladies (mom or sister include) they are run off by dad to go and create their own herd. Alpha "Mares" then? dude, I watched one about Alpha Male Monkeys, and it was just like that. They get 1st choice in food and Mates Except- some of the "Bachelors" come back to fight the Alpha sometimes. See there is IS SOME scientific stuff to this.

That movie was like , maybe, a year after his Walton appearance. Jackie DID mess up that relationship! I thought Fred was a lot of fun on Roseanne. They really made him b o r i n g after he married Jackie! (AND unrealistic! What man ONLY wants to fool around in bed?) Never saw The Great Santini. The Walton's just didn't want Erin to settle down yet. Chad and Erin would have worked out. She was "too" crazy about Ashley. You can't have a relationship where one person loves the other MORE. It creates a doormat scenario. Like David and Maryellen.

The other stallions will get their mares too. It is an age thing. Everything will happen in its own time and running parallel to the herd they grew up in. There is no advantage to having too big of a herd as they take a lot to feed and a lot of room. Small herds are better and have a higher chance of survival. Ike will have a herd just like John will have a herd

I have never said that I wanted Erin with anyone. In fact, I don't think Erin has the temperament for a relationship with anyone. I have to say G.W cause I don't know what his name is. Do you? I know his last name is Haines. Maybe GW stands for George Washington. GW stands for George William- found that out at the end of The First Casualty when John Sr read GW's will to Erin. I liked him the best - maybe with time Erin would have seen how much of a good husband/provider he could have been. Think Erin was influenced by Mary Ellen. Didn't big sis tell her something along the lines of "you wouldn't want to marry GW" in an earlier episode- got so mad with Mary Ellen when she said that

I always had the sense that the writers were 'testing the waters' with Erin, as if they had no idea how to develop her character. For example, when she decides not to actually elope with Chad, we learn he's working on the cabin - yet they never marry, or seem to be involved, afterwards. She could have been married to GW, or to Ashley. There always was something very uncertain in Erin's character - I wonder if the writers were testing chemistry between her and her loves?

Well, Morgan Stevens disappeared from acting, so that may be why Paul did not show up for the 1990s reunion movies and his character was written out!

I like Nicki's point - 'Chad and Erin would have worked out. She was "too" crazy about Ashley. You can't have a relationship where one person loves the other MORE. It creates a doormat scenario. Like David and Maryellen.'
I actually had expected, with how the episode about the 'near elopement' ended, that Chad and Erin would later marry. I could understand her parents wanting her to finish school, and, though Olivia eloped at 16, she and John always had known each other. (John is a good man - but I can smile a bit, thinking that a very strict Baptist might think of this responsible husband and father as being a bit of a heathen. That may have made him all the more attractive.) Jim-Bob and Elizabeth had times of vacillating - but, of the older Walton children, Erin seemed a bit less mature. The tree eldest (very different personalities) had a strong draw to pursuing careers - Erin seemed a bit childish and romantic for her age (16 was no child in 1930.)
Erin was too crazy about Ashley. Their meeting, corresponding to Miss Emily's memoirs and temporarily mistaking Ashley for his father, was the stuff of a romance novel, all the more understandable when all the boys were heading for the military. (I was surprised that Erin listened to Olivia, who discouraged a marriage because war experience turned Ashley into an atheist - there was truth and pathos in the scene where John discusses this with Ashley. Yet I remembered that, when Erin decided not to marry Chad at the last minute, it didn't seem to be 'I'm not mature enough,' but "I won't have a beautiful wedding with family." I could see Olivia's point - if Ashley changed his mind about God, he could change his mind about Erin. Erin isn't fully mature if she'd choose her mother's viewpoint over the man she loves.) She and Ashley seemed much in love, but it did have a 'romance novel' flavour. Ashley's dialogue with her seemed overdone. It also occurs to me that, when someone (who doesn't know her beloved all that well, or for long) has a fiance who is usually away in the military, her daydreams about him might differ from the reality. (My mother was born in 1919 - many in her age group put off marrying until the war was over, or married young and had husbands away for years - but, excepting rushed or 'furlough' marriages, they usually knew each other for years. Waiting - and hoping - for a fiance or husband to return must have been extremely difficult, but Erin barely knew Ashley, and was swept off her feet in a way that oddly reminded me of Miss Emily.)
