RELATED CONTENTBook Report: 'Up North' loaded with history
I’ve always had a weakness for ongoing fictions that grow with the years. When I was a kid I liked “Gasoline Alley” because Skeezix grew up and his father got fat. Recently I’ve been watching reruns of the entire Walton’s dramatic series. Normally, when a TV cast member died, the producers killed her off and went on with it. But in “The Walton’s” when Ellen Corby (Grandma) suffered a heart attack in real life, the writers wrote it into the script and Corby kept right on going, even though she could no longer talk. When Will Geer (Grandpa) died, they buried him and went on with the show.
