Why was will ryan gone?

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

I don't think you really want to know, but the several versions I have heard all Portray both Will Ryan and FOTF in a favorable light, upholding principle over profit. I think all around it was probably handled the best way possible, and they got Will back on the show as fast as possible. There was some for a while there, but I'm just glad he's back, sadly I wish Pam Hayden could have returned as well as Katrina, but I think if she ever can do AIO again, she'll at least bring us the classic Doris Rathbone.

Most likely because the circumstances surrounding Will Ryan's departure were something the AIO staff felt shouldn't be public information. I'm sure they did their best to keep him, but it simply wasn't to be... I'm just glad he's finally back. :)

Quite frankly it's none of our business. As far as I'm concerned that's between Focus and the actors. If they felt we should know I'm sure they would tell us, but they haven't.

idk, I feel like we should have a right to know, but I'm just curious. The same thing happened with our youth pastor. They told him to leave the youth ministry but didn't tell us why.

We have a right to know. The point is FOTF and the AIO staff have not told us and they may or may not want to. They may feel that it is none of our business. The other reason might be that Will Ryan does not want us to know perhaps for the very reasons mentioned above. Now that he is back, do we really need to know? It's old news now. I honestly think that if they were going to, or even wanted to tell us they would have done so.

Shadowpaw did say he was writing an article on Eugene's return which contained the reason for Eugene's departure, so I guess we'll know eventually.

I don't think that we have a right to know about other people's personal lives, just because we like a fictional character that they play on a radio drama. I would love to know why we were deprived of Eugene for so long, but it really isn't any of my business. Will Ryan deserves to have a personal life.

If we ever get the full story, that will be nice to know, but nobody owes us any details - we just want them.

The reason for Will Ryan's departure is far less dramatic than it sounds... my article explores it, very briefly, but I don't want to hype it up to be this huge revelation when it's really nothing big. The article is due out this month, and I'm actually working on it as we speak ;).
