Happy belated birthday to my best friend, Ryan White! While Ryan wasn't introduced until season 2, he has become one of the four core characters of the series (the others being Sam, Bailey, and Kenzie). Going by my own unfortunate slowly-developing character standards, Ryan was the more or less the first added character for season two who really took off as a regular. Even though he was established early on as Sam's best friend, for "The Origins" sub-series, Ryan as a character was portrayed as a rival character for Sam, but by the end became the duo they now are today. Nowadays, Ryan White lives out in Colorado. In the movie adaptation of the series, Ryan was unable to portray himself, so Travis Cooper was cast. While he did what was required of the character in the script very well, there was still that nagging thought in the back of my mind that he wasn't Ryan. Even though I don't see him very often anymore, I couldn't bring myself to write him out of the comics. He has become a pivotal part of the series and is here to stay.
Love and miss ya, dude!
