Ryan emerged in Pine Valley at the hospital emergency room, claiming to be a victim of a bus crash. The nurse on duty, Gloria Marsh, recognized him for the con man he was and was about to send him packing when she got sidetracked after injured, Dimitri Marick, arrived. He needed a transfusion, and Ryan was a match. Gloria traded her silence about Ryan's attempted scam for a blood donation that saved Dimitri.
Ryan worked his magic on Liza Colby, convincing her to let him try to increase WRCW's profits and also tried to take kickback money from Erica Kane for Enchantment advertising. The two women teamed together to bust him, and he ended up being blackmailed into breaking up the pending marriage of Gillian Andrassy and Scott Chandler.
In the end, Ryan married Gillian. It was all fun and games, until he discovered that Scott only planned to marry Gillian to keep her from being deported, and she no longer had any money. For immigration purposes, the two had to stay together for a year to make their marriage valid to stay out of jail. In the interim, the two failed to recognize their love for one another and openly toyed with others. Ryan was about to divulge his feelings for Gillian when he found her in bed with David Hayward. Ryan ended up drunk and accused of raping Kit Fisher, a newcomer to Pine Valley, and although he proclaimed his innocence, a DNA test matched him at 80%. He hid out, but was outed by David Hayward, who took pride in telling him about how Gillian slept with him for money.
While in jail, Ryan was visited by his brother, Braden. The two reminisced about their childhood, and during their conversation, Braden let something slip, that tipped Ryan to the fact that his brother had raped Kit. Ryan said nothing, feeling he owed Braden for saving him from their abusive father, and took the rap. Eventually, Ryan was cleared.
Ryan and Gillian, still unable to profess their love, filed for divorce, and Ryan went to work at Haley and Mateo's new nightclub. When Mateo's attention turned to his first wife and newfound son, Haley found herself attracted to Ryan and the two shared a kiss. Of course, Gillian witnessed it, told Mateo, and Ryan was fired. He returned to WRCW for a while before starting his own internet company and reuniting with Gillian, once again.
Gillian eventually married Jake Martin, but when she kept the news from him that he was not Colby's biological father, he flipped out and left Pine Valley. Ryan made another move on Gillian, and she waited for Jake to return so she could file for divorce. She ended up not having the heart to ask for one when she learned that Jake had been working with orphans in a war-torn country.
Eventually, Ryan was tired of waiting and called it quits, but they later married in a lavish wedding hosted by Dimitri Marick.
Their life was happy at last, but ended abruptly when Gillian was the mistaken target of a hit man hired to kill Anna Devane. Ryan made the decision to remove his beloved wife from life support and donate her heart to Laura English.
The scene switched from Pine Valley to Heaven, where Gillian was met by all the dearly departed from Pine Valley, who showed up to welcome Gillian home.
Ryan found solace in the arms of Liza Chandler, who was also distraught at finding Adam cheating on her. Ryan and Liza began an affair. She became pregnant and miscarried Ryan's child when she fell down the stairs.
When Ryan learned of his mother's death, he also discovered her secret. She had engaged in an affair with Christopher Stamp, a man Ryan loathed. Nine months afterwards, Gail Lavery had a son, and Ryan was faced with the reality that he might have been fathered by Chris.
Ryan's life was further complicated when Erica's daughter, Kendall became his neighbor at the Pine Cone Motel. What was originally antagonism turned to romance, and the two became engaged and planned to leave Pine Valley as soon as Kendall was cleared from arson charges. But, on the day of their wedding, he found Kendall in a compromising position with Aidan Devane. An angry Ryan roared out of town on his motorcycle.
Ryan returned to Pine Valley with the announcement that he had become the owner of Cambias Enterprises, the multi-billion dollar company started by the late, Alexander Cambias. The business was left to him after a short chance meeting in the desert. The estate was valid as long as Michael Cambias had no children, but when
Michael ended up dead after raping Bianca, the will became questionable. Bianca got pregnant, but Kendall pretended to be the expectant one to take the attention off her sister. Ryan believed that Kendall was making her claim only to get her hands on the money, and forced her to take a blood test. Kendall persuaded David Hayward to swap the samples to back up her story.
Kendall ended up being arrested for Michael's murder, although few believed she had done it. At her trial, Greenlee, yanked Kendall's dress off, revealing her fake stomach, and ending the lie. Ryan signed the estate over to Bianca but when the baby switch occurred, and everyone believed her child was dead, everything reverted back to Ryan. The estate went back to Bianca when her daughter, Miranda, turned out to be baby, Bess.
Ryan and Kendall tried a hand at love, but she couldn't get past his friendship with Greenlee. Kendall's jealousy eventually drove Ryan into Greenlee's arms, marriage and a shared love.
Younger brother, Jonathan, arrived in Pine Valley, and was not the shy child that Ryan remembered.
Before long, Greenlee began suffering strange bouts of illness and suspected Jonathan of poisoning her because of his jealousy for his brother's attention. Jonathan, however, pointed a finger at older brother, Braden, insisting he was the culprit. However, the truth was revealed after Jonathan kidnapped, Greenlee, Kendall and Lily and held them hostage in the same cave where he had buried Braden's body. In order to save the girls, Ryan shot Jonathan, who was then buried by an explosion of the bomb he had set up in the mine.
Ryan had a vasectomy to insure that no further Laverys would come into the world, but Greenlee refused to face never having a child. She, Kendall and Simone broke into a clinic where Ryan had sperm stored. When Greenlee announced her pregnancy, Ryan was so angry, he got on his motorcycle and drove off a cliff.
He survived but let everyone think he was dead. He went in search of his sister Erin, finding her alive and well and working as a waitress. What he didn't expect to find was Jonathan. Erin and Ryan finally figured out that there was something wrong with him, and medical tests confirmed a brain tumor. The removal was a success.
Ryan overheard Greenlee telling Erin how much she loved Ryan, so he decided to return to Pine Valley, crashing his own memorial service. Greenlee was overjoyed to see Ryan, but once she heard about Jonathan, she was done. Shortly after, Ryan learned that it was Kendall who was carrying he and Greenlee's child. But at Thanksgiving, Greenlee told everyone the blackout that Zach Slater had masterminded had killed her fertilized eggs, and that the baby Kendall carried was her own. Greenlee left Ryan and Pine Valley for good.
Initially angry, Ryan softened and agreed to participate in the pregnancy, but JR Chandler nearly ended it when he attempted to murder his wife, Babe, and toppled building materials onto Kendall, instead. While Erica and Ryan made Kendall's life the priority, Zach, who loved Kendall, convinced them that she would want the child to live. He barricaded himself in her hospital room, and fought off everyone who wanted to sacrifice the baby. In the end, baby Spike was born, thrived, and went home to live with Kendall and Zach, when she chose him over Ryan.
Ryan painfully accepted losing Kendall, and moved on to a friendship with newcomer, Annie McDermott and her daughter, Emma. He recently had to face the loss of his sister, Erin, to a serial killer who is targeting the women of fusion. While the police search for the killer, someone is searching records to prove that Emma is really Ryan's daughter.

Ryan is at Fusion, telling Kendall about his recent memory of making love to Annie. He tries to skirt the subject and his uneasy feelings, but she makes him talk. "Ryan, that's great! That's amazing!" Kendall exclaims when she hears what he's remembered, but Ryan's not sharing in the joy. He may remember Annie. He may remember making love to her. But he doesn't remember being in love with her. Meanwhile, Annie is over the moon, talking to Emma about how wonderful her life with Ryan will be, but she's interrupted when a man named Michael Harris shows up at the door. He has news that there's a class action lawsuit being filed against the clinic where Ryan's vasectomy was performed. He tells her that Ryan's surgery was never, in fact, actually performed. Annie's thrilled and rushes to Fusion to break the good news to Ryan, but when she gets off the elevator, she overhears Ryan and Kendall talking about his feelings for Annie and questioning whether or not they were ever real.
Greenlee is at Confusion, grilling Aidan about family planning. "Am I enough?" she asks. "Kids. You want them," she says. "I want children," Aidan admits. But, he adds, he doesn't care how they get them - adoption, surrogacy, whatever. But, Greenlee says, she doesn't want to have children. Aidan suggests that she just wait for the biological clock to start ticking, but she doesn't think it ever will. He asks if she'll ever change her mind and she says no, but there's still time for him to change his before the wedding. Aidan gets his feelings hurt because she wanted a baby so badly with Ryan, but won't have one with him. She claims she never really wanted a family; she only wanted a baby to help heal Ryan. But Aidan's still bitter about it, the way she's shutting him down when she was on board the baby train so eagerly for Ryan. He walks out on her, leaving her alone at Confusion.
Ryan pulls away from Annie at the stables. She wonders what is going on. "I remember you," he says! He describes the night they made love in the stables but Annie is afraid to believe him. He has another memory flash, this time of her falling off the saddle and into the water trough. Annie realizes he is really recovering some memories of her. Ryan asks what finally convinced her that their love was perfect. She says it took some time but she finally just gave in. He wants to remember more but the flashes stop. He kisses her and they make love. After, Ryan thinks about their relationship.
