Ok, so I thought it was a bit ironic Ruth (Lindsay Sloane) at 29 and on was on an episode of Wonder years 'Eclipse' where both Rayanne (AJ Langer) and Sharon (Devon Odessa) guest starred. It's interesting to see these cycles of actors/actresses in shows.

When I originally saw this Rayanne totally had me (and apparently Brian) going with that story about her father and the basement (considering the backstory about him is vague and Amber stated her last name as Valone; different from Graff during the meeting in "Guns and Gossip") and then BOOYAH! Gotcha! Anyone else notice how good she is at making up stories on the spot? If she actually went to class she'd probably get a decent grade in creative writing.See also: "Father Figures" about her going to the Grateful Dead concert with Amber and Rusty and then meeting up with the gun Rusty knew from 'Nam in the wheelchair with the hot upper body who gave her a ticket...which she then abandoned the effort after it didn't make Angela feel bad."Pilot": The story she and Angela were trying to craft without cracking up about being twins who don't look alike needing money to get home.If there's series had of went on longer, maybe Rayanne would've been exposed as a sociopath or compulsive liar but she is nevertheless one of my favorite characters of the series.She also has a ballerina duck walk.

I love Halloween episodes but the added kink factor of the costumes grossed me out a bit with Mr. and Mrs. Chase. I know it's necessary for the grand scheme of things on the show but I cringe when it comes to them knockin' the boots. And I've seen the entire series.
