Meanwhile, on the GH set, Lindstrom has devoted all his attention to the saner Kevin, a psychiatrist of all things. It’s meant he’s had to totally reign it in after the madness he evoked as Ryan.
Dr. Do Good
“Even Kevin, now. I could be looser with him,” says Lindstrom. “Still, he’s not this staid, reserved rather repressed individual that we first met all those years ago. He’s been living in America, and he’s married again. Life has been really good for him.”
It’s via Kevin, who’s been treating his latest patient Carly (Laura Wright), that all the Ryan chatter emerged. Again, it was a storyline Lindstrom didn’t see coming.
New Twists
“I’d known Laura a little bit over the years, but I don’t think we ever had a conversation outside of, ‘How are you doing?” shares Lindstrom, who’s enjoyed the plot turn.
“She is a really good actress and fully committed. To be honest she had all the heavy lifting to do. All I had to do was sit back and react, which actors should do. It was great. To fall into [this storyline] has been good.”

The best could be yet to come if Ryan is indeed alive and that mystery Ferncliff resident.
“It’s been surprising in one way that people remember him so vividly after all these years,” admits Lindstrom, who seems to have forgotten how larger than life the character was. “But I guess he was.”
And if Ryan ultimately resurfaces, Kevin, Felicia, and an array of other Port Charles citizens lives are destined for some serious trouble.
