In the "Fairy Godsister" episode, they both kept referring to ma as she was known, to "mom", which no one ever called the mother character "mom". They've been known to do this in other episodes also, which suggests that they couldn't or wouldn't follow the script. I'm wondering if they had to re-shoot their speaking scenes so many times that they just gave up and left it in when they kept calling her mom. Also, I found the Fairy Godsister among the worst, and most boring episodes in the history of all 9 seasons. I did find it rather annoying, and condescending how they *always* had Carrie running out to the outhouse, it seems like that was her main contribution to the show was constantly running to the outhouse. And in fact, when they first move to Winoka (sp) they even had her wet her dress in the wagon when she's like 11 years old. It's too bad, I feel that if they would have given her a chance to expand her role, maybe the twins would have done a better job acting and following the script instead of constantly shuffling them to the background with very few actual speaking parts.

The episode when Laura's narration says Albert returned to Walnut Grove as Dr. Albert Ingalls aired prior to "Look Back to Yesterday," which is the episode when Pa and Albert return to Walnut Grove because Albert is dying. Viewers believe this is just one of those inconsistencies that existed when the second storyline was created.

In one of the Little House movies after the series ends Albert is terminally ill and it seems like he dies before ever making it to medical school.

I am not sure if that is the reason Joe's character was written out of the show, but that seems to make sense. <br /><br />The only mention of Joe after the episode "Make a Joyful Noise" where Hester Sue allows Joe to court her, is in "Second Chance" in Season 8 where Hester Sue admits she didn't marry him because she still loved Sam. I think that's weak, simply because she was set to marry the funeral director before having second thoughts when Joe, Mary, and the children interrupted their wedding in "Make a Joyful Noise."Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411406100964208599.post-43612460384044419062021-02-06T06:55:10.719-05:002021-02-06T06:55:10.719-05:00I was sad when Joe Kagan wasnt on anymore, why did...I was sad when Joe Kagan wasnt on anymore, why did they get rid of him and not mention it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723898804609740832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411406100964208599.post-15575306282129789932020-11-17T18:01:52.952-05:002020-11-17T18:01:52.952-05:00These questions and answers are the best!These questions and answers are the best!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163668116254391273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411406100964208599.post-86935757833677106202020-09-24T18:00:10.421-04:002020-09-24T18:00:10.421-04:00She is the same actress.
