After John boy got better in season 8 why did Olivia remain a Red Cross volunteer instead of coming home in the time period between him getting better and her tuberculosis coming back? I know the actress who played Olivia didn't want to be on the show anymore so they had to write something that kept her away, but that just didn't seem in line with her character. I can't believe she would choose to just keep volunteering and stay away from her family once John Boy was better. Does anyone remember the reason that was given?

Having had enough of life on Walton mountain, Olivia secretly left the Red Cross and moved to London where she changed her name to Flavorsham and lived the rest of her life as a mouse.

It seems you can be Znexy in any thread you want to.

And your explanation makes about as much sense as what they did on the show.
