I agree
I'm not sure how I would have liked the Ryan storyline to go as far as what kind of impact he would have had...I had no idea what kind of "battle" the writers were envisioning, like whether there would be a lot of devestation going on in the form of fires, floods, bad weather, etc, or if it would have continued on the church burning storyline but gotten maybe more brutal or violent, like murder or severe injury to someone Joan is close to....
