Here Come the Brides

Walnut GroveCast

Cori Rice joins me to discuss this sometimes romantic and sometimes hilarious episode of Little House!

“Adam and Luke Simms arrive in Walnut Grove, where Luke quickly falls for Nellie Oleson despite his unconventional appearance—barefoot and in overalls over long underwear—which horrifies Nellie’s mother, Harriet, who forbids their relationship. Meanwhile, Luke enlists Mary’s help to pick out a ring for Nellie’s birthday, but a misunderstanding leads Nellie to believe he’s toying with her feelings, prompting her to complain to Miss Beadle, who then confronts Adam Simms and unexpectedly begins to fall for him. As tensions rise, Luke and Nellie decide to elope, marrying and heading to a hotel, only to be tracked down by Harriet, Nels, Adam, and Miss Beadle, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation. Alongside this, a budding romance blossoms between Miss Beadle and Adam, adding a tender counterpoint to the youthful impulsiveness of Luke and Nellie’s union.” Here Come the Brides originally aired on December 5, 1977 The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.
