I like Ellie,she seems sooo sweet! I thought she would have made Opie a good mother! By the way,what happend to her?
In reruns, all of a sudden Ellie and Barney are gone and they change the show to color! Did Ellie move or break up with Andy?
I always wondered what happened! And Barney, I've never seem an episode of AGS that explains where Barney went!

I like Ellie's personality (and looks) better (a matter of personal taste, they are both attractive), BUT I think Helen is a better match for Andy, and was actually more believable in her role. Somehow she seemed to fit into Mayberry better.

When I see the Peggy episodes I think of poor Ryan O'neal exwife. I think her name was Joanna Moore. The character was so sweet and innocent and Joanna got into drugs and booze. A total opposite. Sometimes it's hard to believe she was so different in real life.

I think Barney transfered to the police dept. in Raleigh, or something. As for Ellie, I don't know; I've always wondered the same thing.

I don't think they ever had an episode of "TAGS" that explained about either of them.

I like both as well but I had a crush when I was a kid on Helen. I loved her blue eyes and thought she had a cool smile. I liked her overall character just a tad better then Ellie.

I liked Ellie better, but I thought she seemed to young for Andy. Helen seemed more the mature and a match for Andy.

I preferred Ellie. Helen was pretty one-note in my opinion.

I read somewhere that Elinor didn't get along well with either a director, producer or maybe Andy and decided to leave the show.

I thought Miss Crump was a little set in her ways. A bit square. You need to loosen up a bit.

The actress that played Ellie explained in an interview that at the time she was having some personal problems and begged to be let out of her contract. Too bad. I much preferred her over Helen.
