Discussing this Sunday’s two-hour episode with The Futon Critic, executive producers Alison Schapker and Monica Owusu-Breen also talked about Luke’s character. Here’s what they said:

Ryan Lafferty (Luke Grimes), the recently discovered half-sibling of the Walkers has now turned up on the series and, correct me if I’m wrong, I sense a lot of drama on the horizon. Just watching him, I was thinking this guy is trouble.

AS: Ryan is a big catalyst for drama and I think some of our fans have certainly called the show out on just recycling a plot that we sort of did with Rebecca so we feel the onus to bring that story to a different place and we think we have.

MOB: He comes back and he needs answers to specific questions that will reveal themselves.

AS: But in his need to find out more about what happened to his mother and what her relationship was like with William (Tom Skerritt), it will effect everybody else’s story. He has a big role to play. For us, this show lives and dies in its execution and, for that, each character has to have a three-dimensional point of view and Ryan will come in with that as well. He won’t be easily put into a box. He will stir up trouble but it is our hope that he does it in a way that people can relate to. It’s not an easy story to take sides on.
