I agree, Anomaly77.... I'm hoping this Ryan thing turns into something good, but the writers insist on bringing up little tidbits of Ryan's past every time you think an episode might go by without some contrived "emergency"... i.e. Trey (?), the brother... the ex girlfriend (soon to be recurring?), the old buddy from the 'hood (name escapes me), etc etc... what's next? He once dated someone with an STD? Come on, people.
I fear they've shown him as too strong a character, too able to actually adjust and fit in to the OC community -- so they have to throw endless hitches from the past at him. Perhaps this is the premise of the show, but I enjoy the little twists and turns in subplot/peripheral characters (yes, including Seth's sex life and the possible re-appearance of the WonderWoman costume).
