Little House on the Prairie/Carrie

Question
Now I'm guessing that the Greenbush Twins had limited range when it came to acting or maybe they were just really really bad at it. How else could you explain virtually every charachter in Walnut Grove getting stand alone episodes but Carrie only got one, The Godsister, and a bad one nonetheless.

Have you ever heard why people like Rev Alden, Doc Backer, or even Kezia got there own episodes but Carrie did not?

Answer
We can only speculate as to why the twins never were given more "spotlight" than the one episode and that was not a popular one either. I thought they were adorable and many fans were upset when in the later seasons, new characters were introduced like James, Cassandra, and Albert and Carrie was pushed more to the back of the show. Fans felt that since Carrie was one of the true siblings of Laura Ingalls that she should have been given more attention. Thanks for your question!
