      It can be inferred from the pilot episode, The Homecoming: A Christmas Story, that John Walton, Sr., died shortly after the events of this movie, the last installment in The Waltons legacy. It was stated in the pilot that John died in 1969, the same year in which Earl Hamner's own father died.

    Should have been open about Walton Spouses and Kids.
    Mary Ellen should have said the kids were from artificial insemination. She is a medical professional knowing her own pregnancy would be lethal.

    Still no Jonesey and John Curtis. If he was gone he left because of serving his country.

    Why is Paul left Erin. Erin should have found someone.

    Elizabeth needs to have another boyfriend to move on from Curtis. She would have been unhappy as an untraveled house wife.

    So sorry Jim Bob had no girlfriend or wife.

    Baldwin Sisters should have turned their home into a retirement and nursing home center. That way they were never lonely. Ashley turned up as a patient, he never died he was mistaken as dead.
