In The Reincarnation of Nellie (Part I) (1981), Melora Hardin played the role of Belinda Stevens. In this film instead of bringing back a familiar Walnut Grove resident, they brought Melora back to play the role of Michele Pierson (Albert's love interest) who has supposedly lived in Walnut Grove for years but has not been seen before.
