My favorite love story on this show is the realistic relationship between grandma and grampa Walton, especially when he'd try to get frisky and she'd tell tell him "Stop it, you old fool".💖
My favorite relationship wasn’t a real romance but it sure was moving in “The Journey” with John Boy taking Miss Maggie (Linda Watkins) to the ocean and her reminiscing.
For me, the most moving of the romances leading to marriage was between Paul (Morgan Stevens, the late) and Erin. Erin was radiant wearing her mother's beautifully-laced wedding dress ( her actual mother's), and her tears when given away by John. Well, that was a special moment in the whole series.
@@katec3934 "A Wedding on Walton's Mountain". I believe Mary McDonough's own father had died (a few years before?), so her being given away by John, whom she admired, was keenly felt and translated emotionally in this episode.
I loved all the John Boy romances. The girl he finally married was my least favorite, she just seemed so opposite of him. I agree with you about Daisy!
Thank you again for another look at the Walton romances. The story of GW always makes me cry, and I still think it was ridiculous that they brought Curt back. This was fun!!
Yes for some reason the death of GW felt so devastating. For me, it was also because he lived on this beautiful farmland - with his parents who were just overjoyed when he returned home from the War. But his brief return was followed by such devastation for Erin and GW's parents. A poignant and sad love story on so many fronts.
GW and Erin was such a sad ending. Loved all the romances and or near romances and the ones that never quite turned out. Such great writing on the show. It still is such a truly wonderful show. Thanks Judy💕
I had a crush on Jim Bob when I was young. I was disappointed he never ended up with someone. I loved Mary Ellen with Jonesy! The fun they had as a couple was so sweet. I wish dating was the same as it was back then! Thank you for the fond memories!
you are definitely not in the minority, Before Corabeth arrived, Mr Godsey seemed content and busy with his grocery store.I think the general store was in almost every episode Judy? When Corabeth fell in love with humble Mr Godsey, the show was more eclectic and exciting. She was a spitfire with her eccentricities and that glamorous language she had :D I liked Corabeth alot - She was a good version of Mrs Oleson on Little House. LOL. And She was also very beautiful and elegant. You would think that the two of them were a real couple outside of the Waltons. Again excellent portrayals.
Dear Judy; Thank you so much for taking the time to share your commentary on my favorite television series of all time. I watched "The Waltons" each week when I was a child in the 70's. Now, I'm watching them all again on blu-ray disc as a 60 year old. Such a classy series, full of beauty, pathos, romance, humor, and mystery. Your performance as Mary Ellen is never to be forgotten. Please accept my thanks once again . . .
@@judynorton2598 one of my favorite episodes was Grandpa and Grandma Walton’s the statue Annabelle and Grandma said she’s a statue Zeb so grandpa takes Annabelle and lays her to rest in Drucillllas pond
Mine is Mary-Ellen & Jonesy. He had such a fantastic smile. Richard and yourself had amazing chemistry, and I could watch Mother's Day on Waltons Mountain over and The Whirlwinf over and over again. You were a lucky woman to work both him and Tom Bower ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for doing this. My husband and I have rediscovered our love for all of you. In these times, it takes us back to a simpler time not only in the setting of The Waltons, but during the times of the actual show and during our childhoods. Really enjoying your posts that make us love it and y’all even more. Thanks for taking the time to share.
I think my favorite romance that wasn't a regular cast member was Olivia's Uncle Cody and Cordellia Honeycutt ... I enjoyed the ending where they tell us they stayed married for 20 years and died 6 months apart. Great episode! Cheers.
There was also the short lived Erin and Hank Buchanan! They had a date or two. They seemed to have some chemistry and flirted. In the celebration, she also told Mary Ellen that she was going to marry him.
I loved how Grandpa was quite the charmer with all the ladies. Johnboy and Jenny was one of my favorite Walton romances. Mary Ellen and Jonsie was also a favorite.
Bringing Curt, back, after, he was, supposedly, killed at Pearl Harbor, was, painful too watch. And to make matters worse, they brought, him back as, another actor, who, no longer, wanted to have anything to do with, with Mary Ellen or John Curtis, just Ridiculous. The new curt and Mary Ellen, were mismatched in every way.
That was fun. Thanks. The First Casualty story always breaks my heart. My guess is JimBob and Elizabeth would have had had more romances had the series gone on.
Hi Judy, the romance between John Boy and Jenny was very moving as it was very believable. This was one of many romances on the show that depicted how broken-hearted young romances can feel. Richard Thomas/John Boy's distraught Jenny had to leave him to heal herself after the death of her beloved Father. I remember feeling such sadness when she gave John Boy a gift - a musical instrument - a flute? the day she left abruptly. You covered so many interesting relationships that each character experienced, and the one that stood out for me about your romances was the one with Jonesy, especially how both of you had to cope with the news that Mary Ellen could not have any more children in the future. There was incredible chemistry between the two of you- which made the romantic story that much more believable. Superb acting. :D
All the love stories were wonderful. My favorite love story was MaryEllen with Jonesy. I was sad when GW died and Erin was so heartbroken. Thank you for reminding us about all the romances.
I didn’t realize how many love stories were intertwined in the show. Lots of broken hearts within the multiple plots in ever story. Thanks for the memories you bring back with these vids.
I liked the episode where Elizabeth was writing to that older soldier. I had a similar situation when I was 20 and a 12-year-old girl was showing affection toward me. It was an uncomfortable situation to say the least!!!
These last 2 videos have been refreshing to see and we will probably start watching all the videos again...its so much better than what is on TV today. Thanks Judy!
The Walton romances! What a great review. Thank you for bringing this all together. My heart still smiles thinking of Jenny & John-Boy's romance. Also hoped she'd be back in the picture when they got older. Daisy is a very close 2nd. You & Jonesy! Oh yes! 💕💕💕
Thank you for stepping back in time with your wonderful reminiscing of your time on the show. Ashley Longworth! How that name has resounded in the romantic 🥰 memories of the windmill of love. I am a woman Vietnam Era Navy WAVE Veteran. In 1975 I married a United States Naval Academy grad. We walked under crossed swords on marble floors at the Naval Academy Cathedral. I am 71 years young I still feel the young romantic woman in me recalling the memories of Ashley Longworth and being married at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
For a small mountain village, there sure were many opportunities for romance. I wouldn't be surprised if , under a nom de plume Mr Hamner wrote romance novels too! (I mean that as a compliment!) This video made me smile, Judy! All the stories were fun. I didn't care too much for the storyline when John, Sr. was tempted by others. The saving grace was the choice for fidelity: a real old-fashioned value! I think GW and Erin's story was the most heartbreaking. I think Ben and Cindy were the most joyful! The Wedding is one of my top 5 favorites. Thanks for reviewing the romance of The Walton's. May everyone find such true love! ✨
PS ~ If the writers for whatever reason had to write Jenny Pendleton out of the show, then Daisy was my second choice for JB! She was a darling character! I liked when she and JB met in NY and she got a speaking part in a Broadway Show ~ "Shall we walk or take a cab?" Cute! And, Sarah Jane ~ boy, that Sissy Spacek was/is just a terrific actress, as are you all. What a true-to-life storyline Sarah Jane's was.
Judy Norton did a marvelous job going through all the romances on the Walton’s .. I loved watching that going down memory lane show .. Again “great job Judy “ .
Loved John Boy and Jenny and John Boy and Daisy❤️❤️ I really loved Daisy, she had such a great smile and cheerful, enthusiastic personality!!😀 I thought she was adorable, and wished they had gotten married. Too bad she didn’t tell him about her baby sooner, John Boy loved her and he would have understood and accepted her child ❤️
That was wonderful Judy and refreshed all the relationships in my mind. My favourite is still John and Olivia but the show really did excel in showing the many faces of love through the seasons. Thank you for this segment, it's got me in the mood to watch season 1 again. Best wishes to you from your waltonian superfan in a milder England😉
This was so fun to see and hear about all of the romances on the show! I always thought Jenny and John Boy were so cute together, and also Daisy seemed a good match too. I always liked David Spencer and Mary Ellen, I thought he was a hunk and there was nice chemistry for sure. As for Erin, I wished Ashley Longworth Jr had worked out because they seemed perfect together!! Ah well all of us have our favorites! 😍 great segment thanks Judy!
I didn’t realize how many romances John boy & Mary Ellen had over the Walton times LOL I think he beat you by a little. I wonder if earl had that many girl friends?
LOL - I hadn’t realized Mary Ellen had as many little romances as she did until I was researching for this segment. John Boy still had me beat easily :)
Judy I’m so excited, I found Walton’s today. It’s so amazing watching after all theses years. Seeing you then seeing you know. I’m watching the one where you brought a baseball glove and JT is interested in the rich girl. I love ❤️ it.
❤️ Great idea for a video just after Valentines Day Judy!! I still say Mary Ellen should have stuck with David the doctor but I guess he had to move on to One Life to Live!! 😉 Two other guest stars that were so cute were Jonathan Frakes & David Selby 🥰❤️
This was a fun segment with you reminiscing about all the romances with all the different characters on The Waltons. There were so many that I had forgotten about until you brought them up again, so thank you Judy for a fun segment.
Hi Judy! Omg I love this video you put together ❤ it’s so cool seeing all the romances through out The Waltons! And yesterday I got a Waltons poster that came and I love it so much. And I hope you have a wonderful day :) Love, Jamie ~ huge Waltons fan ✨
Thanks for these story/show insights, Judy! My favorite Waltons 'romance', though, was the crush I had on Mary Ellen. (I'm sure I speak for millions) :-) Loved The Waltons!
Hello Judy 😊 Im saying snap also as i liked Mary Ellen and David together and John Boy and Daisy. When John Boy and Daisy got engaged and came home to get married it was so sad and tears me up every time i watch when the little girl comes down the stairs to say hello to Daisy. Tears flood from me 🥲🥲
Thanks for this, Ms. Norton. Appreciate the hard work and effort you put into this video. Any chance of you speaking with David Doremus, who played "GW" on your show? I really liked him when he was on "Nanny and the Professor" before "The Waltons" and would love to hear his POV on the business like others you've spoken to like Willie Aames.
@@judynorton2598 -- Thanks for the follow-up. I figured you had him on your radar with his extensive history as a recurring character on your show and the complicated interplay between Mary Ellen and Erin.
Oh this was a fun one...so much love on the Mountain...thank you Judy...ya look so pretty in red...I had such a crush on John Boy...🤩...boy he had alot of loves...haha...
I loved Mary Ellen and Eddie, but always wondered about how they would do a "posthumous" medal of honor to someone without making sure he's really posthumous!
A tour de force, Judy! The other long-term relationship on the show that probably deserves a mention is Ike & Corabeth--quite a departure from the other marriages! Now if we were to put all of this terrific info into a spreadsheet and laid it out season by season, we'd *really* have something! And if we looked at John Boy's activities in that way, it probably reveals the real reason why Richard had to leave after Season Five--he was just plain tuckered out! :-)
Thank you for bringing these stories to light. I know that the entire series was looseley based on the Earl Hamner book but I do love any period fiction. I was in Jr./Sr. High school when the Waltons was on tv and I am about the same age as the Walton children, especially you. I have started to watch the series again on Hallmark and I do love the contest you bring to the story,
Wonderfully done, Judy!! Inasmuch as I liked the Curt character, I didn't like that they "brought him back from the dead." Bad idea. Jonesy and the Bob Woods character were great, though. Erin also dated the new preacher but just stayed friends. He was the best one, yet I feel killing off GW was a big mistake. Funny that Mary says all that Erin did was kiss and cry! (and a tattletale as a child!) Poor Erin. Thanks for this Valentine edition, Judy.
I think we all enjoy these reviews which yield behind the scenes information, while celebrating and summarizing the best of family dramas, The Waltons!
Most fans seem to like Jenny but Daisy was my fav as she was quite down to earth. I loved Toni! David was a fav of mine but Kurt was outspoken just like Mary Ellen. Ben was best with Cindy. Erin and Ashley would never have worked out sadly. Just my thoughts. I did not like Cathy for Jim Bob! Elizabeth needed someone new I felt. Thanks Judy. I enjoyed this one 😊
Hi Judy. I must admit, I favored Jenny not only for John boy, but for the Walton family. There was also Sis Bradford in the episode the Beguiled. I really liked G.W for Mary Ellen and surprisingly Beth Morgan for Jason. Thanks again Judy. 🙂
Good to know :). I didn’t include Sis as I never thought John Boy was interested in her, she seemed to be pursuing him and he didn’t seem to be reciprocating.
@@judynorton2598 Thanks Judy. I just remembered how he kissed her in front of the entire family and told his parents how much he liked her. His attempts to convince Olivia that she was just her own person. Jim Bob basically telling him that he wasn't the best at choosing girls. Thanks for reading and responding to my comment Judy. I really appreciate it. It's the joy of being the audience and expression of experience. 🙂
My Favorite Was Richard And Sian Barbara Allen AKA Jenny Pendleton and Jonh-Boy Liked Them Both In The Love Story, The Thanksgiving Story , That was true love And plus there's so many others That Concentrated on true love. And that first romance or that first crush. ❤️
Hello dear Judy. Thank you for this Romances on Waltons mountain video. I enjoyed a lot of the love stories that you all experienced. My most favorite love stories were from John Boy & Jim Bob. Jenny and John Boy had me wrapped in their love story so much that when Jenny left John Boy brokenhearted near the broken fireplace at the ruins of what once a home to the Waltons ancestors, I wept. I cried for him and her because I wanted them to be together and form a family. I also fondly remember the love triangle between Jim Bob, the beautiful Skywalker girl and John Boy. At the end the our brothers stood stronger together and life in Waltons' mountain went on as usual. There's so many beautiful love stories to talk about that I will be writing all day. 😊 Now I must continue my day. Thank you dear sis, and continue to bring us good nostalgic moments and anecdotes from The Waltons' vault. Take care! ❤
Me again just watched your interview with Ross. The work you have put into your UA-cam channel has been evolving before our very eyes, it's even better than a book it's been a continuous saga we have learned so much more from your biweekly segments. A live audio book experience. We have learned so many things about you, and your exciting involvement in the entertainment industry. Unforgettable stuff. I'm sure future biographers will find this channel a fountain of information when they start digging around and discover Judy Norton and the Waltons for the first time. It been a blast following you. It's truly amazing how you connect with your followers and Fans. : )
Melody Thomas certainly had a great career in "The Young & The Restless". I seen Jennifer Jason Leigh appear in many pictures. Best Valentines wishes Ms. Judy.
Another great segment on your podcast Judy,again..brings back great memories. I continue to watch The Walton's everyday on METV.. coincidentally on today's episode it was the one with Jared Martin,who was obsessed with Erin,who he thought was Gabriella.
There was another romance of Grandpa's. It was a woman he dated before Grandma. In the episode the Statue he brings home a statue of a woman, Who grandma stays looks like his old girl friend Mosel Lewis. Then one of my favorite scenes in the romance of Elizabeth and Drew was at a dance (I think it was at the Baldwin's house). Drew and Elizabeth step out side together, alone, and Cora Beth starts to follow them and Grandma puts her cane up in front of Cora Beth and stops her.
Hi Judy, thanks for included the relationship between John Boy and Simone in Paris. A lot of people don't like Robert Wightmann, but the parting with Simone and his homecoming at the end of the Premonition is one of the most beautiful moments in Hollywood, with no disrespect intented, Olivia was in Alberene at the time of John's friendship with his childhood sweatheat. Olivia went to Arizona later, SM Au
I really always wanted your character to try again with Dr. David Spencer after Curtis passed at Pearl Harbor. I felt you both had a palpable chemistry on the screen each and every time you had scenes together.
![The Waltons (1972 vs 2024) Cast: Then and Now [52 Years After]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/oJku4XnXNas/mqdefault.jpg)
My favorite love story on this show is the realistic relationship between grandma and grampa Walton, especially when he'd try to get frisky and she'd tell tell him "Stop it, you old fool".💖
They were so special together.
@@judynorton2598 that they were!!!
Elizabeth and Drew finally getting engaged was one of my happiest Walton's moments. I cried !!!
Absolutely 💯
🥰
@@judynorton2598 is Drew and Elizabeth really together in real life
No joke! You take that deep breath, then sigh with relief, “Finally!” 😊
@@kamiclements7456 Exactly ❤️
My favorite relationship wasn’t a real romance but it sure was moving in “The Journey” with John Boy taking Miss Maggie (Linda Watkins) to the ocean and her reminiscing.
This was my most favourite episode. I’ve watched it so many times and I still get teary at the end.
@@cannyexplorer5357 Thanks for your sweet comment! You made my day!
Beautiful
One of my favourites and also leaves me with tears!!
My favorite Relation ship was the crush I had on Mary Ellen all those years ago
For me, the most moving of the romances leading to marriage was between Paul (Morgan Stevens, the late) and Erin. Erin was radiant wearing her mother's beautifully-laced wedding dress ( her actual mother's), and her tears when given away by John. Well, that was a special moment in the whole series.
@@katec3934 I think it may have been one of the movies and not an actual episode.

@@katec3934 Your welcome.
Lots of real life memories wrapped up in that one for Mary.
I _adore_ the John Boy and Jenny story!! Their young love seemed so transcendent...
They were very sweet together.
I loved all the John Boy romances. The girl he finally married was my least favorite, she just seemed so opposite of him. I agree with you about Daisy!
I think if we’d had more time to get to know Janet we would have seen all the reasons John Boy loved her.
Thanks Judy...Great caption of Walton ...Thanks❤😂
Thank you again for another look at the Walton romances. The story of GW always makes me cry, and I still think it was ridiculous that they brought Curt back.
This was fun!!
I’m with you on both counts :)
Yes for some reason the death of GW felt so devastating. For me, it was also because he lived on this beautiful farmland - with his parents who were just overjoyed when he returned home from the War. But his brief return was followed by
such devastation for Erin and GW's parents. A poignant and sad love story on so many fronts.
I said this before.
They really should have continued The John-Boy / Jenny Pendleton story for more episodes than they did.
A lot of viewers agree with you on that one.
They also had a relationship in real life.
@@juliep1542 Yes, Judy mentioned that which makes me ask again, why was she only in 2 episodes ?
I agree very much. They were such an adorable couple
GW and Erin was such a sad ending. Loved all the romances and or near romances and the ones that never quite turned out. Such great writing on the show. It still is such a truly wonderful show. Thanks Judy💕
I totally agree!
I had a crush on Jim Bob when I was young. I was disappointed he never ended up with someone. I loved Mary Ellen with Jonesy! The fun they had as a couple was so sweet. I wish dating was the same as it was back then! Thank you for the fond memories!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
As odd as it sounds, I'm actually glad he never got married. It would probably make me jealous 😂
So happy that Elizabeth & Drew got engaged in the end. My mom and I were celebrating!
They were so cute together.
I may be in the minority, but I always enjoyed the relationship between Corabeth and Mr. Godsey. Judy, you did a wonderful job on this video.
Thank you!

You are so welcome!
Wow! I never realized how many different romances John Boy had! Mary Ellen too!
He did indeed :)
@@judynorton2598 one of my favorite episodes was Grandpa and Grandma Walton’s the statue Annabelle and Grandma said she’s a statue Zeb so grandpa takes Annabelle and lays her to rest in Drucillllas pond
My favorite was Erin and Ashley! I wish it could have gone further but I knew Jonathan Frakes had other acting commitments.
True - and not sure how that would have played out with Miss Emily.
Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful!! I'll never tire from watching You Judy!!! 🙂
I love Jonathan Frakes. He is so handsome. I remember him on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
He was made to wear uniforms :)
Lol I was just in the middle of watching the Christmas story where you put the birds nest on the tree
What fun.
I feel so bad for Mary-Ellen! Lol😊
Mine is Mary-Ellen & Jonesy. He had such a fantastic smile. Richard and yourself had amazing chemistry, and I could watch Mother's Day on Waltons Mountain over and The Whirlwinf over and over again. You were a lucky woman to work both him and Tom Bower ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree - two wonderful actors to get to work with.
Thank you for doing this. My husband and I have rediscovered our love for all of you.

We all have those rocky little love stories,but we learn from them all. Thanks Judy!👍

Just saw that one 2 days ago🤗
There was also the short lived Erin and Hank Buchanan! They had a date or two. They seemed to have some chemistry and flirted. In the celebration, she also told Mary Ellen that she was going to marry him.
Yep… another one I forgot :)
I loved how Grandpa was quite the charmer with all the ladies. Johnboy and Jenny was one of my favorite Walton romances. Mary Ellen and Jonsie was also a favorite.
🥰
A huge mistake was bringing Curt back. It made no sense to hurt Mary Ellen that way.
I’m with you on that one.
Bringing Curt, back, after, he was, supposedly, killed at Pearl Harbor, was, painful too watch. And to make matters worse, they brought, him back as, another actor, who, no longer, wanted to have anything to do with, with Mary Ellen or John Curtis, just Ridiculous.

We loved Chad and Erin together!
Me too! There was something very special about that relationship!
Erin also dated a procurement officer named Alan in the Army in The Children's Carol. My favorite love interest for her was Chad.
Right! I knew I'd miss some along the way :)
Mine too! Such a dynamic personality!
Judy is still so beautiful!
I loved Drew. My two crushes from the show were him, and John Boy. Great video, Judy.
I absolutely adored Drew Cutler also! I loved him on "Tour of Duty." I also thought Hank Buchanan was adorable!
Tony was a great addition to the show.
@@megfuchs9425 👍🤗💗

Yes John boy would have love Melissa like his own child
I believe with John Boy there was no plan to have him marry till later, so none of these relationships were destined to last :)
Just watched that episode
That was wonderful Judy and refreshed all the relationships in my mind. My favourite is still John and Olivia but the show really did excel in showing the many faces of love through the seasons.

Judy I’m so excited, I found Walton’s today. It’s so amazing watching after all theses years. Seeing you then seeing you know. I’m watching the one where you brought a baseball glove and JT is interested in the rich girl. I love ❤️ it.
Wonderful! Thanks for watching.
@@judynorton2598 now I’m watching the one where you sold the typewriter that belong to the Baldwin sisters
❤️ Great idea for a video just after Valentines Day Judy!! I still say Mary Ellen should have stuck with David the doctor but I guess he had to move on to One Life to Live!! 😉
Two other guest stars that were so cute were Jonathan Frakes & David Selby 🥰❤️
We did have some cuties pass through Walton’s Mountain :)
The wonderful Ms.Purl!Fan for years
Wow! That's quite the inventory of romances and suitors of various ages/intensities! 🙂
I was amazed how many there were when I was researching! And that didn’t include all the guest star relationships!
Don't forget Miss Emily and Ashley Longworth!
Absolutely- I touched on that one on the Valentine’s Day segment, so didn’t revisit.
@@judynorton2598 I must have missed it- sorry!😏
Hi Judy. Love the hair. Thanks for these continuing videos. I look forward to each one.
Thank you so much!
The wing walker is one of my favorite episodes....
This was a fun segment with you reminiscing about all the romances with all the different characters on The Waltons. There were so many that I had forgotten about until you brought them up again, so thank you Judy for a fun segment.
So glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Judy! Omg I love this video you put together ❤ it’s so cool seeing all the romances through out The Waltons! And yesterday I got a Waltons poster that came and I love it so much. And I hope you have a wonderful day :)
Love,
Jamie ~ huge Waltons fan ✨
Thank you so much.
I’m blown away with all the relationships you guys had. Lost track of all of them
Many more than I had remembered and I even forgot to include some!
Thanks for these story/show insights, Judy!
My favorite Waltons 'romance', though, was the crush I had on Mary Ellen. (I'm sure I speak for millions) :-) Loved The Waltons!
Thank you :)
Grandpa's statue lady who supposedly looked like an old girlfriend
True - although that was a relationship we never saw in person.
Thank you Judy 💐 Belated Happy Valentine’s Day 💐
Thank you.
Hello Judy 😊 Im saying snap also as i liked Mary Ellen and David together and John Boy and Daisy. When John Boy and Daisy got engaged and came home to get married it was so sad and tears me up every time i watch when the little girl comes down the stairs to say hello to Daisy. Tears flood from me 🥲🥲
Thanks for sharing your favorites with me.
Thanks for this, Ms. Norton. Appreciate the hard work and effort you put into this video. Any chance of you speaking with David Doremus, who played "GW" on your show? I really liked him when he was on "Nanny and the Professor" before "The Waltons" and would love to hear his POV on the business like others you've spoken to like Willie Aames.
Still trying to connect with David.
@@judynorton2598 -- Thanks for the follow-up. I figured you had him on your radar with his extensive history as a recurring character on your show and the complicated interplay between Mary Ellen and Erin.
I would definitely enjoy listening to a chat with him!
@@kamiclements7456 -- Hope that she can get him. That would be great.
Oh this was a fun one...so much love on the Mountain...thank you Judy...ya look so pretty in red...I had such a crush on John Boy...🤩...boy he had alot of loves...haha...
Funny how that struck me as I said it :)
@@judynorton2598 🌹♥️
Thank you for the fun memories of all of the various love interests of our favorite TV family!
My pleasure.
I loved Mary Ellen and Eddie, but always wondered about how they would do a "posthumous" medal of honor to someone without making sure he's really posthumous!
LOL - great question!
A tour de force, Judy! The other long-term relationship on the show that probably deserves a mention is Ike & Corabeth--quite a departure from the other marriages! Now if we were to put all of this terrific info into a spreadsheet and laid it out season by season, we'd *really* have something! And if we looked at John Boy's activities in that way, it probably reveals the real reason why Richard had to leave after Season Five--he was just plain tuckered out! :-)
Lots of love on The Waltons.
Thank you for bringing these stories to light. I know that the entire series was looseley based on the Earl Hamner book but I do love any period fiction. I was in Jr./Sr. High school when the Waltons was on tv and I am about the same age as the Walton children, especially you. I have started to watch the series again on Hallmark and I do love the contest you bring to the story,
So glad you’re enjoying the show.
Wonderfully done, Judy!! Inasmuch as I liked the Curt character, I didn't like that they "brought him back from the dead." Bad idea. Jonesy and the Bob Woods character were great, though. Erin also dated the new preacher but just stayed friends. He was the best one, yet I feel killing off GW was a big mistake. Funny that Mary says all that Erin did was kiss and cry! (and a tattletale as a child!) Poor Erin. Thanks for this Valentine edition, Judy.
I love hearing everyone’s favorite relationships :)
Aw the feeling of love 😍 ,thanks Judy
My pleasure.
That was very eye opening! So many romances, especially for John boy! Thank you for researching and posting all of them! Mary
My pleasure. A lot of work for my editor :-)
You’d think he would have gotten married earlier 😉
I think we all enjoy these reviews which yield behind the scenes information, while celebrating and summarizing the best of family dramas, The Waltons!
So glad.
there was a very endearing innocence to john boy that just made you love him all the more.
He really was endearing as John Boy 🥰
I really enjoyed this one as well. ( I enjoy them all). But I REALLY enjoyed Mondays and Today's. Thank you!
So glad!
Most fans seem to like Jenny but Daisy was my fav as she was quite down to earth.
I loved Toni!
David was a fav of mine but Kurt was outspoken just like Mary Ellen.
Ben was best with Cindy.
Erin and Ashley would never have worked out sadly. Just my thoughts.
I did not like Cathy for Jim Bob!
Elizabeth needed someone new I felt.
Thanks Judy. I enjoyed this one 😊
Glad you enjoyed this.
I agree with you👍
fun stuff judy - thanks for the memories! :)
My pleasure.
Thanks Judy 👍 you're awesome 💖
You are so welcome
Thank you, Judy. Enjoyed the romances. ❤
So glad!
Grandpa and Grandma Walton hands down favorite.... Most exciting Mary Ellen and the paratrooper Eddie episode....
Glad you enjoyed this.
I remember all of those romances and loved them.
❤️
Totally awesome Judy. I think you deserve another geranium!!!
Thank you for everything you do!!!
Thank you :)
Great memories . Thanks Judy
My pleasure.
Thank you once again Judy for sharing your memories and commentary.
My pleasure.
Hi Judy. I must admit, I favored Jenny not only for John boy, but for the Walton family. There was also Sis Bradford in the episode the Beguiled. I really liked G.W for Mary Ellen and surprisingly Beth Morgan for Jason. Thanks again Judy. 🙂
Good to know :). I didn’t include Sis as I never thought John Boy was interested in her, she seemed to be pursuing him and he didn’t seem to be reciprocating.
@@judynorton2598 Thanks Judy. I just remembered how he kissed her in front of the entire family and told his parents how much he liked her. His attempts to convince Olivia that she was just her own person. Jim Bob basically telling him that he wasn't the best at choosing girls. Thanks for reading and responding to my comment Judy. I really appreciate it. It's the joy of being the audience and expression of experience. 🙂
Judy, you're amazing! As amazing as you were playing Mary Ellen.
Thank you so much.
My Favorite Was Richard And Sian Barbara Allen AKA Jenny Pendleton and Jonh-Boy Liked Them Both In The Love Story, The Thanksgiving Story , That was true love And plus there's so many others That Concentrated on true love. And that first romance or that first crush. ❤️
Lots of sweet relationships along the way.
Hello dear Judy.
Thank you for this Romances on Waltons mountain video. I enjoyed a lot of the love stories that you all experienced. My most favorite love stories were from John Boy & Jim Bob. Jenny and John Boy had me wrapped in their love story so much that when Jenny left John Boy brokenhearted near the broken fireplace at the ruins of what once a home to the Waltons ancestors, I wept. I cried for him and her because I wanted them to be together and form a family. I also fondly remember the love triangle between Jim Bob, the beautiful Skywalker girl and John Boy. At the end the our brothers stood stronger together and life in Waltons' mountain went on as usual. There's so many beautiful love stories to talk about that I will be writing all day. 😊
Now I must continue my day. Thank you dear sis, and continue to bring us good nostalgic moments and anecdotes from The Waltons' vault. Take care! ❤
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it.
Me again just watched your interview with Ross. The work you have put into your UA-cam channel has been evolving before our very eyes, it's even better than a book it's been a continuous saga we have learned so much more from your biweekly segments. A live audio book experience. We have learned so many things about you, and your exciting involvement in the entertainment industry. Unforgettable stuff. I'm sure future biographers will find this channel a fountain of information when they start digging around and discover Judy Norton and the Waltons for the first time. It been a blast following you. It's truly amazing how you connect with your followers and Fans. : )
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Very cool recap, Judy! Got me thinking about breaking out the later movies! My love to all and..., well; you know.
Go for it!
Melody Thomas certainly had a great career in "The Young & The Restless". I seen Jennifer Jason Leigh appear in many pictures. Best Valentines wishes Ms. Judy.
I enjoyed the marathon and wish that they could had been married .I just thought that daisy and John boy would have been a great match
I thought so too.
Another great segment on your podcast Judy,again..brings back great memories. I continue to watch The Walton's everyday on METV.. coincidentally on today's episode it was the one with Jared Martin,who was obsessed with Erin,who he thought was Gabriella.
Thank you for continuing to watch. That episode really is one of our darker ones.
@@judynorton2598 indeed,but still a good one,very well written!
Ms Norton, you are most eloquent. Thank you for sharing your story’s from your years on the Waltons.
My pleasure
You Rock !!
Thank you.
There was another romance of Grandpa's. It was a woman he dated before Grandma. In the episode the Statue he brings home a statue of a woman, Who grandma stays looks like his old girl friend Mosel Lewis.
Then one of my favorite scenes in the romance of Elizabeth and Drew was at a dance (I think it was at the Baldwin's house). Drew and Elizabeth step out side together, alone, and Cora Beth starts to follow them and Grandma puts her cane up in front of Cora Beth and stops her.
True - but I don’t believe we ever actually saw that character, so I skipped it :)
Hi Judy, thanks for included the relationship between John Boy and Simone in Paris. A lot of people don't like Robert Wightmann, but the parting with Simone and his homecoming at the end of the Premonition is one of the most beautiful moments in Hollywood, with no disrespect intented, Olivia was in Alberene at the time of John's friendship with his childhood sweatheat. Olivia went to Arizona later, SM Au
Thanks for the correction :)
I really always wanted your character to try again with Dr. David Spencer after Curtis passed at Pearl Harbor. I felt you both had a palpable chemistry on the screen each and every time you had scenes together.
That would have been fun. Although ultimately I loved the character of Jonesy as well.
I had a crush on Elizabeth too lol. Kami is about two years older than me. Thanks for another great video
Glad you enjoyed this.
