Albert starts to spend all his spare time training with Gambini, but is brought down to earth when one of the daredevil's most dangerous stunts goes wrong. When Laura announces that she is expecting a baby, Caroline says that she is also. Later, she finds out from Doc Baker that she is not expecting but is experiencing an early menopause and cannot have any more children. This devastates Caroline, who has tried to birth a surviving true male heir for Charles and fears she is worthless to him now because this is now impossible.
Melissa Gilbert (Laura Ingalls)
Michael made sure that people on the set understood that they were involved in something good, something wholesome. He had a distinct vision of how the show should resonate with its viewers and he was right. The Ingalls family brought to life from Wilder’s beloved books became a part of our lives and has since charmed the next generations. Since the show’s end in 1983 the cast has changed tremendously — and some have sadly passed away — but they will all live on in our hearts.

Rachel Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush stopped acting completely
While appearing on the March 27 episode of the Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa podcast, Kyle opened up about her childhood and her relationship with her mom, Kathleen. During the conversation, she shared how her daughters' bond is very different than the one she developed with her siblings, Kathy Hilton and Kim Richards, as a child, mostly due to the choices her mom made while raising them. The series tracked Bonnie's evolution after she leaves her husband and embarks on a journey of self discovery and navigating being a single mom. When speaking to As If, Alicia addressed playing a complicated fictional person based on an equally-complicated real person. Kyle Richards’ entertainment credits go way beyond the Bravo-verse, including the short-lived American Woman television series, which found Kyle in a new role as a producer. The RHOBH cast member executive produced the one-season sitcom loosely based on her mother's life.
In contrast, Laura does not truly come to grips with Albert's possible imminent death until late in the story, and wishes that he rest in bed rather than exhaust himself. Albert soon falls in love with a long-time friend called Michele Pierson, and Charles starts a cooperative with the local farmers in order to compete with the large farms. Finally, Albert, Laura, Michele, Miss Plum and the local school children make their annual climb to 'the keepsake tree' at the top of Harper's Bluff, where Laura and Albert place their own keepsake in the box hidden there. The movie ends with Miss Plum and the children joining hands in a circle around Laura and Albert, who join their own hands and raise them high, both in celebration and as a symbol of their bond. Laura goes to Sleepy Eye to help Mary and Adam get the new blind school ready. However, Almanzo takes a second job so that he can secretly pay the shortfall of rent for the blind school, persuading Houston the caretaker to tell Laura that the landlord has reduced the rent.
Reverend Alden gets badly hurt while on his way to collect donations for a struggling town in another part of his parish. Caleb Hodgekiss, an ex-convict, finds him and takes him to his house where his wife takes care of him. Hodgekiss volunteers to get the donations from Walnut Grove, but plans to take the donations for himself. However, his experiences with the people of Walnut Grove, especially Mary, bring about a change of heart. When a tornado hits, Charles loses his wheat crop and the house and farm buildings are badly damaged. A despondent Charles decides to move the family back to Wisconsin, and he agrees a sale to an elderly couple who had owned the property previously.
When Charles' mother, Laura Colby Ingalls (Jan Sterling) passes away, he travels to Wisconsin and persuades his father, Lansford Ingalls (Arthur Hill), to go back with him to Walnut Grove. While staying with Charles and his family, Lansford begins to form a special relationship with his granddaughter Laura, and this is strengthened when he tells Laura that she was named after her grandmother, Lansford's wife. The Ingalls family is delighted by the birth of a baby boy, Charles Frederick Ingalls, but Laura becomes jealous about the attention he receives from Charles and refuses to pray for her new brother's good health. When the baby dies soon afterwards, Laura is crushed with guilt, and Reverend Alden advises that she needs to get closer to God. So Laura runs away from home and climbs a mountain, where she prays to God that she should take the place in Heaven of her baby brother so that the baby may come back to life.
Mrs. Oleson reports Rev. Alden to church leadership, but the tables turn when the minister representative (William Schallert) turns out to be her former fiancé, who broke their engagement when unable to commit to serving "both God and marriage". Charles and Jonathan compete against another team to win a freighting contract. Laura feels the first stirrings of attraction to a boy named Jimmy Hill (Chris Petersen) with whom she has previously enjoyed playing baseball and going fishing, but he does not respond in the same way.
She had essentially retired from acting following the cancellation of "Little House" and began to focus on her Hindu faith. In fact, Today notes that she even missed filming the show's final episode because she was out of the country on a religious journey. These days, Kyle Richards is best known as a reality TV star, but she actually got her start on "Little House on the Prairie" when she was cast as Alicia Sanderson Edwards. While Richards hasn't given too many interviews about her time on the show, she has seemed happy enough to have it referenced here and there. In 2016, Richards even hosted a 17-episode "Little House" marathon on COZI TV, and had all positive things to say when NBC asked how she felt after being asked to host the marathon. Jason Bateman was cast as James Cooper Ingalls, the second son that Caroline and Charles Ingalls adopted, in 1981.
Little House on the Prairie aired its first episode on March 30, 1974, and ruled the airwaves until 1983. Days were filled with back-breaking manual labor, miles-long walks to school, constant financial worry and no indoor toilets. A character actor with over 100 credits, he was the Doctor on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea from 1964 to 1968.
Mary refuses to accept Adam's help at first, but he eventually helps her learn to deal with her blindness and a relationship blossoms between the two. He is soon leaving this large blind school to accept a better teaching position at a smaller school in Winoka. Meanwhile, in Walnut Grove, due to an escalation of the dispute, the school closes for the summer with no plans to reopen next fall, and the teacher, Mrs. Beadle-Simms, and her husband make the decision to leave Walnut Grove.
Six months before their planned wedding, Almanzo buys land for free from a Mr. Gray for a farm for him and Laura, but he agrees to a harsh deal that he must pay off the mortgage by a deadline or lose the title. When there is a drought, Gray, who owns the neighbouring farm, dams the stream which also waters Almanzo's land, thereby threatening Almanzo's crop and his ability to meet the deal. Eliza Jane falls in love with Harve Miller (James Cromwell), a friend of Almanzo's who has come to live in Walnut Grove. Laura begins teaching at the Walnut Grove school, but Almanzo strongly objects to the idea of her teaching after they are married, insisting that he will provide for them and will not want her to go out to work. Nellie finds out that she is pregnant, which comes as a shock to her mother. Charles is elected to represent the farmers of Hero Township at a Grange convention in Milwaukee to consider a proposal that farming machinery should be bought directly from manufacturers, saving money for the farmers.
