While speaking to Buzzfeed in July 2025, Labyorteaux discussed his time playing Andrew "Andy" from the show's fourth to seventh seasons. According to Labyorteaux, he was fired from the series after Season 7, Episode 21, "The Lost Ones." He explained that his character's mother, Alice Garvey (Hersha Parady), had died in a fire, causing him and his father, Jonathan (Merlin Olsen), to move away from Walnut Grove. According to Labyorteaux, Jonathan and Andy's taking resistance in "another town" was going to lead to "a backdoor pilot that they didn't pick up."
Labyorteaux also said he wasn't happy about his Little House on the Prairie exit.
He shared, however, that he was still able to interact with his former Little House on the Prairie castmates because his brother, Matthew Labyorteaux, continued to play his character, Albert Ingalls, until the show's ninth and final season.

In a July 2025 TikTok upload, Labyorteaux said that he didn't have a great experience with fellow child actor, Jason Bateman, after he departed Little House on the Prairie.
"I was just fired from Little House and he was just hired and he kept calling me a has-been and he kept throwing garbage on me," said Labyorteaux.
"Todd and I decided that we've had enough. And so Todd and I grab this guy and we throw him into a garbage bin," said Labyorteaux in the video.
Bateman said he had some difficulty on the Little House on the Prairie set in a September 2025 interview on Hot Ones. According to Bateman, who played James Cooper Ingalls until the show's 8th season, he experienced some hazing from the other children on the cast.
Bateman then said he managed to get those castmates in trouble.
“And then I went to the makeup artist and said, ‘Put a big black-and-blue mark all over my chest.’ And then I went to their parents and I said, ‘Look what your kids did to me.’ And that was good. I got them in trouble,” said Bateman during the Hot Ones episode.
