Parenthood - Season 5 - Matt Lauria Interview

Share on Reddit

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Obviously, this is a very big and emotional episode with Ryan’s return. What can you tell me about his return and how injured he is?
MATT LAURIA: All I can say is that he is back from the Army. I can’t give any details in terms of under what circumstances or for how long, but I can say that he’s back and that you can see from the trailers that he might be a little banged up, and that Ryan and Amber do have a chance to see each other.

What about his mental state? When he left, he’d just made this very difficult decision that he’s a soldier and that’s how he knows how to live. Has that changed?
I can say that this return only adds unexpected complications to his plan because, as you said, it was hard to make that decision to leave [Amber]. By returning to the military, he broke off the engagement, which was a horribly difficult decision to arrive at, but one that, in some way, he felt was the only possibility, the only option. So then to find himself unexpectedly back under these conditions was not a variable that he had anticipated or was necessarily prepared to deal with. When you have the plan and, as hard as it may be, you go with the plan, you stick with the plan, and then something throws a wrench in the system like this, I think that it renders everybody a little ill-prepared.
