And I don’t doubt that Ryan (unfortunately) is the real deal. :-(

And I dislike him more and more and I haven’t even met him yet. :-D

It was contrived because the writers were pulling something out of their asses. But make no mistake: Ryan's the real deal. Sylviane, I wouldn’t hold your breath.

It's actually more than a name mix-up. The photo that TV Guide has with the item is in fact of Anna Getty, his half-sister according to IMdB. I just picked up another photo of the same woman and brought over the same name. I've got the right photo and the right name up now. Sorry I didn't check better before publishing.

Anna was the author of the TVGuide article and the name on the photo caption must have gotten mixed up. Getty’s wife is named Rosetta.

All you see is a bit of grass, a bit of a car (no licence plate), an bit of arm holding a child with a bonnet. The picture is black and white. I am still amazed that Sarah could deduce the car was her dad's when she has (initially) has no idea who the child is, what color the car has, where the picture was taken, not even a licence plate to go on. And it is beyond me why Kevin and Sarah think the child SHOULD be their father's. Sarah finds the picture originally somewhere on the attick of the ranch, it was not of any real importance to William if he just left it there. William said it was the picture of some child of some woman he and Doug knew and it just ended up accidentally in the file and he would send it back.. So he forgot about it and it ended up on the attick and therefore it must be an illigitimated child?... It doesn't make sense. I hope that season 3 will provide us with some logical explanation, because I don't understand the jump (well, I do it's called retcon) from b/w picture of unknown child taken somewhere, sometime, someplace suddenly being 'that must be Dad's sixth child'.

Holly's speech later in MWM, Part 1. Oh boy...can't wait to see how you handle that one. ;) I wanted to add — and we have one more REALLY glaring inconsistecy. Holly’s speech later in MWM, Part 1.

These are perhaps the most glaring errors. If they wanted to introduce another Walker sib, fine. But it insulted my intelligence to make that picture now suddenly be of Ryan when it contradicts very explicit dialogue/scenes from Season 1. Notice that the finale didn't include a flashback of Holly ID'ing the photo as Rebecca without a second's hesitation. Gee, I wonder why. Must be an unintentional oversight, right?

The biggest gaff ever made, in my view. And they thought we viewers would just forget that this scene ever happened and go with their new dumba** ill-formed plot? I don't think so. Mistakes were made alright. Big whoops indeed. The biggest gaff ever made, in my view.
