New illegitimate sibling, same as the old illegitimate sibling

I’ll have a full Retcon Patrol later today, but for now, a quick question. TV Squad had the following in its Spoilers Anonymous post today, regarding Brothers & Sisters: “Ryan had a troubled past involving drugs, discipline problems and low self-esteem.”
So, essentially, Ryan is a male Rebecca? Or, come to think of it, a bastard version of Justin?
I’d have thought we had enough druggy low-self-esteem discipline problems on this show to last a dozen seasons. Wouldn’t it be more fun if, say, Ryan was a squeaky-clean Young Republican who’d already started a couple of extremely successful businesses at his young age and thought the Walkers were a bunch of underachievers? Let’s see Nora embrace that.

Love how you’re exposing the problems with having so many writers. This show has a GREAT cast, great potential to be a big winner, but it seems like there’s nobody really in charge of keeping it on track so it wanders all over the place.
