The entire reason that they were on Walton's Mountain was that their paternal grandmother (Olivia's Cousin Rose) had fled with them to protect them from being physically abused by their drunken male parent (her own son) and she believed that if Casa Walton wouldn't give them shelter, she'd have no choice but for all of them to return to this abuser and be sitting ducks. However, HOW they had them exited was rather infuriating. The problem was that they never seemed to quite mesh with the other regular characters so I wasn't unhappy that they decided not to bring them back for Season Nine. OK, with even Elizabeth becoming a teen, they'd brought in two preteen cousins at the start of Season Eight (Serena and Jeffrey) to bring back the 'cute kid' draw. Of course, they started Season Nine on another infuriating note. UGH!! Oh, and it wasn't even the original performer playing the part but they brought some new performer to do this totally thankless one-shot role. Oh, not only did I loathe how they had Mary Ellen's husband Curt Willard who had supposedly died nobly helping tend to the wounded in Pearl Harbor turned out to have survived BUT been so ashamed of being physically debilitated from being able to have a 'real marriage' with Mary Ellen so he let her (and their toddler son John Curtis) believe he had DIED instead of fessing up.
