Wow - who did Shirley Jones have to bribe to get him on the show, along with a beginning-of-the-episode credit? (each episode with him begins with “Ryan Cassidy as Kevin). He is bland, has no chemistry with love interest Jo, and is average looking at best.

He seems like a prototype for the character George Clooney played, to somewhat more success, in the following season.

You're not gonna believe this, but TV Guide even promoted him as a "hot new addition" to the show:

LOL. Wow - the four lead actresses are pushed to the side, and this non-entity is smack in the middle of the ad!

Thanks for sharing that - where did you find it?

I know, right? Little did they know he would have absolutely zero impact on the show.

I just found it online once while searching Google Images for FOL TV Guide ads, and I remembered it when you started this thread, lol. I also posted it a couple of years ago in this FOL print memorabilia thread (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=324139).

Strange, I just looked up Wikipedia about further information on him and found no reference to his time on Facts in 1985.

Who is Ryan Cassidy again??

He's not in a lot of episodes, and I didn't even know who he was when I got the DVD for that season. It appears Mrs. Garrett's old flame moved into town, he had a hardware store, and they re-kindled and he had a son, if that's what it was. I didn't care for any of the episodes he was in. Then weren't they supposed to get married, but the wedding never happened.
