In The Triangle Rosemary reveals to Olivia that she and the Rev Fordwick are becoming an item and she mentions that she is older than Matthew' - does she say 'I'm quite a bit older than Matthew' or 'I'm older than Matthew' because I have always wondered how much of an age difference there was.
I'm guessing there's 10 years between them...maybe even 15? he is 21 when he arrives in The Sinner and Rosemary is clearly not in her 20's in the early episodes.

I never thought the match-up between Rosemary Hunter and Fordwick made any sense, for various reasons....
Didn't like it one bit !!  |

In real life Mariclare Costello (Rosemary) was born on 2/03/1936 and John Ritter (Matthew) on 9/17/1948. So that makes Mariclare 12 years and 7 1/2 months older than John. I have no idea how much older they had her than him in The Waltons.

I was never bothered by their age difference or relationship I WAS bothered, however, by them being gone in Season 6 with only a single line from Olivia (maybe someine else) in the way of a goodbye  |

He admits to Grandma that he doesn't understand either would God would allow something like this to happen. When Grandma is shocked, he responds, "I accept His will, ma'am, but I don't always understand it." I think the way he delivers that line is so perfect. He's so full of humility and vulnerability. One of the rare times we see Rev. Fordwick like that. |

I guess you can call Rosemary Hunter a cougar,that what they call older women dating or marrying younger men.

I picture a cougar more like Mrs. Robinson in the graduate, wanting to seduce Dustin Hoffman"s character (Benjamin) in the film. If they played that scene on the Walton's between Miss Hunter and Rev Fordwick , the Waltons would have lost many viewers, but also gained new ones . Why did I even present this picture to everyone? What is wrong with me? Mad cow disease in the last McChance burger I ate? Did I take too many rips from Scarlett's bong in that "Schools out" video link post she made? And here's to you Mrs Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know, wo wo wo. |

For some reason I remember it was either six or eight years difference. Not that that is much of a difference since they're still of the same generation. 'Cougar' was originally used to describe a generational difference - 15 or 20 years - such as a woman in her 40s and a man in his 20s. It's such an insulting term.

Cora-Beth had a streak of cougar in her (and I hate that term too...) and this came out in her when she was making a fool of herself with that new young minister who liked Erin. She seemed more than a little unbalanced in that episode. I think in terms of choice Rev Fordwick did not have much in terms of available eligible females locally so Miss Hunter filled a gap. |
