Written by DrDOS
Reviews:
"I didn't see this episode until some thirty years after it was produced...but for me, it is one of a precious few Bonanza episodes that I hold dear. Inger Stevens is an absolute marvel as a dying young woman who is sadly part of a criminal family that has crossed the Cartwrights--and she falls in love with Hoss when he shows her the "beauty" that hides beneath the "beast". Hoss, while acting as their protection as they return to California, proves to be her knight in shining armor--but she know that she is dying; as a result, she cannot allow him to love her, either.
Eventually, these "dying girlfriend" plot lines would become routine in Bonanza (I used to use the line "that lasted about as long as a Cartwright wife")--but this one was the first--and the most powerful. We see the gruff Hoss blossom as he clumsily but tenderly reveals his emotions, and as he tries to understand why she won't--and can't--love him in return...and we feel his pain and loss.
This episode, along with the tragic "Forever", represent the Bonanza franchise for me." Written by Popeye-8 on IMDb.com
"Inger Stevens made Bonanza history with this third episode of the series where she becomes the first female to fall for a Cartwright son and the first to die. It was the preferred method of the writers of Bonanza to keep the all male Cartwright family unit intact.
An expedition is led by mining magnate John Larch and his partner Robert Knapp. Along with the group is Knapp's sister Inger Stevens who is in an advanced stage of tuberculosis. Knapp wants to also get her to a dry desert climate." [...] Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

You know many years ago people use to ask me which was the best family TV show on the air . The one that depicted the best family values , the best lessons the best parenting if parents were involved . They expected me to say "Father knows best" " Leave it to beaver" "Bachelor Father" or a couple of others whose names I don't recall. They were surprised when I said Bonanza. Their response was oh that's just a western . My response to them was, " Really, you have not been paying attention "

This one tore my heart out. When Hoss is alone after Emily left, & asking God to help him understand why she had to die, I really felt it. My husband was very ill for several years & I lost him almost 2 years ago. I'm still trying to understand why I had to lose him, especially since he wasn't that old (57). Dan Blocker's acting was so good... I had to remind myself that his heartbreak wasn't real.

[@delet3the3lite86]

When she promised Hoss she'd be with him in the spring, as one who has faced and accepted her death, I believe she would be there with him

[@sherazali422]

Sorry to hear that Darlene, but please let your heart be relieved and consoled by the following information which I am giving you, not just to cheer you up but as an undeniable truth and fact : I also thought I lost a loved one a while ago and couldn't face it. I became really weak and knew I would not live for long. I asked God for help and I received a verse from the holy koran Scripture where God tells us that if any dispute that how can the dead be brought back to life then reply to them 'the one who gave life can easily bring them back to their original form'. and this is what will happen even if they have become ashes etc, everyone will return to their original form. The power, glory and generosity of God is too great to allow something he created to perish. I prayed to God and was assured I will see that person one day Alive. As gratitude I give regular charity, have donated for water pumps and pray for the wellbeing of others. Your husband is resting in a good hands. Just do good deeds in his name, pray to God, eat well, hope for the best and keep yourself assured. Sending you prayers for your good, health, happiness, tranquillity and peace of mind.

[@sherazali422]

Dear Darlene I have written after your comments on the bonanza episode newcomers hope it helps you.

And my husband died from a glioblastoma multiflori brain cancer. We had only been married one year and two months. He was only 37 years old when he died and I was 30 years old and left with 2 girls and 1 boy all under the age of 9 years old. I never remarried, I’m 78 years old and I live with my oldest daughter and her husband. They and my four granddaughters take excellent care of me. I had tongue cancer so the doctors removed most of my tongue and made me a reasonable facsimile from the skin off of my left wrist. Radiation ☢️ treatments ruined my teeth so they had to be pulled. All of my food has to be blended except things like jello and things soft enough that I don’t have to chew them, I can just swallow them. Sometimes I’d give most anything for a medium rare steak 🥩 or a Whopper burger 🍔 from Burger King 🤴🏼 or an order of chicken 🍗 thighs and French fries from Kentucky Fried Chicken 🍗. 😋😋😋😋

I loved this show as a baby boomer back then it was a favorite because it was in " COLOR " !! I watched not for the characters so much but because it was in color. The only one who had a color TV set was my aunt and uncle they.lived in queens ny. So when I would visit them I would sit one their carpet in the living and watch BONANZA!! I was just a kid then as I grew up I started liking the characters in the show I had no favorites right away but later on I started to like the episodes with Parnell Roberts the best. All of the actors who played the characters that they did were great!!!

[@williamking7420]

Interesting history behind this series. Bonanza was one of my favorite shows but it is interesting to note that when this series came out it was one of the first TV shows to be broadcast in COLOR! NBC owned RCA and RCA at the time was pushing a brand new technology of Color TV! They were, as a consequence really pushing this series because it highlighted this new technology! Today with internet, HD video etc., we take this early technology for granted.

[@ApartmentKing66]

A little more research is in order for you, William. Color TV was novel, yes, but brand new? Not exactly. First, RCA owned NBC, not the other way around. RCA had developed their all-electronic B&W compatible color system (as opposed to CBS's electromechanical color system with a spinning disc in every set) years earlier but had to wait until December 1953 to get approval from the FCC to actually use it. But once they did, they pretty much pulled out the stops. The Rose Bowl Parade was broadcast in color on New Year's Day 1954 on NBC. An interesting thing about "Bonanza" is that its being filmed in color was what saved it from cancellation after the first season. Ratings reportedly weren't that great, and NBC execs were considering pulling the plug, but since they had already invested the money in expensive color film AND, as you correctly pointed out, were pushing color TV hard because their *parent company* RCA manufactured the sets, and because you can't promote a color show if you've canceled it, it was decided to keep it on.

Poor Hoss. He fall in love with Emily and came to really love her. She too. First Hoss loses his mother Inger when he was just a baby and now he's found Emily only that Emily was very ill and only has a month to live must tear Hoss apart. Even though Hoss doesn't remember that much about Inger his mother. Ben tells Adam,Hoss and Little Joe all about their mothers because Ben loved Elizabeth Cartwright(Adam's mother)Inger Cartwright(Hoss's mother)and Marie Cartwright(Little Joe's mother). So losing yet a woman the Cartwright brothers came to love deeply end up dying just like their mothers did.

Hoss is just wonderful. Such a kind, sweet person. It is so interesting watching these early episodes and how the characters evolved. Adam was the smart one, but sort of angry and disagreeable. Hoss was supposed to be simple, but that didn’t pan out quite the way as originally expected. And Joe was just young, cute and irresponsible. Eventually the characters started to cross over in their personalities.

[@OvercomeComeOver]

My eyes started watering

[@sherazali422]

From what I heard there was going to be a longer than usual continuation of this heartbreaking episode but due to other ideas it just didn't get done. That script/episode was something like this - 'Emily wants to see Hoss one last time before she is about to die. Hoss becomes too weak and ill with grief. hop sing (who is particularly close and sensitive to hoss) notices hoss isn't eating well and decides to do something about it, despite being told nothing can be done. Hop sing summons his uncle Mr kong kong from China who happens to be very well versed in herbal medicine. Upon arriving to the ponderosa hop sing's uncle requests for arrangement of Emily to stay at the ponderosa so he can start checking her. While Joe shows kong kong around the ponderosa, Kong Kong notices two very rare and much sought after health giving herbs which although very rare in China are abundant and plentiful in the usa - the passion fruit and the custard apple. Kong Kong immediately arranges these fruits to be administered as medicine for the terminally ill Emily. An emotional hoss sees this as a light of hope, slightly gets back on his feet and starts praying to God for help. Emily's cough disappears and she suddenly says she feels very healthy. Kong kong keeps giving her the two fruits as medicine which hoss feeds her with his own hands. Eventually the Dr comes with Emily's death certificate and after a thorough medical is shocked to see her fully recovered. Ben rips the death certificate apart, Adam, john, Joe, and everyonelse is overjoyed and a wedding gets planned. Happiness, love and laughter abound the Cartwright household once again. The health benefits of the passion fruit and custard apple become big news and Many famous people such as mark Twain (who in real life did speak highly of the custard apple) come to Ben to do business in promoting these fruits. Kong kong arranges a deal with an overjoyed Ben and the government of China for the import and export of these fruits. Just before the film is about to end, a transcript is read that speaks of the importance of looking after and protecting trees and forests.

[@sagaoftheponderosa3547]

If there was ever a gal that would of been perfect for Hoss it would of been Emily. (I don't just say this because we share a name either!) I was really sad that she had to die, but Hoss's grief was way harder to watch. (It always hits different when Hoss cries then when any of the other Cartwrights do.) I never would of thought that Hoss was the very first Cartwright to have a romance in the show. It kinda surprised me! You actually hear about Emily again in The Philip Diedeshiemer Story when Hoss is consoling Helene after her fiancé dies in the mine. (I'm pretty sure this is the only time one of the Cartwrights brings up a lost love in another episode, besides Ben's wives of course. I could be wrong, but I'm in season six and I haven't heard them mention any girls who've died or left them.)

They were a bit rougher in these early episodes. I don't know if the show would have lasted if Ben hadn't become a wiser, more moralistic leader of his family.

Falling in love with a Cartwright or having one of them love you - a death sentence on this show!

Someone put a comment on one of the videos that there is a special section of the Virginia City Cemetery reserved for Cartwright women.
