New "Brothers & Sisters" pics: Could one of these men be the mysterious Walker sibling?

I'm not sure where you're getting the impression. These pictures look to me like two internet guys, McCormack being the geek and Olsen the ideas man, pitching an idea to Sarah. She is either looking for a new business to get involved in, or Tommy has convinced her to come back to the company, but created some sort of special project position for her.

I'm with Jonathan on this. Nothing says special needs here. It' totally reads geek-chic to me. Though McCormack's character could be gay&geek (the glasses and the magic throw me off).

However, one could still be the missing kid. Since Holly went searching for him I wouldn't put it past her to bring him around to make the Walkers deal with it/torture them.

Besides, if he was special needs he would be weaing a cardigan. All special needs characters on 1 hour drama wear cardigans, not hipster-ts

I'm getting an Asperger Syndrome vibe. Something I'm very familiar with. But they're only stills so who knows.

Not one of these will be Ryan Lafferty, the missing Walker child, who will appear in episode 3.14 just in time for February sweeps.

Eric plays Kyle, while Will plays Ethan.  They are both internet geeks who co-work with Sarah in her new business endeavor.  Sarah used to work in marketing and she's back to her own roots in marketing but under her new company.

I don't get the "special needs" thing (why? seriously, why would you think that?)

I'd say some kind of artsy OR computery guys.

They are clearly making a pitch to Sarah for some business venture.

Maybe jingle writers or computer game designers or toy designers or commercial writers?

Looks like a brain storming session with the white board and the house of cards and the guitar playing functioning as a means for concentrating (you know, multitasking and all)

In my fantasy, Geeky Glasses Guy is also Gay and makes a charming, sweet, yet ultimately uncessessful play for newly married and feeling neglected Scotty (after running into Scotty who's dropped by Sarah's house to return some baking dish or some other such thing).

Okay I just gave that way too much thought.

 

 

I don't think Sarah will accidentally stumble on to who Ryan is.  I do agree she is set up for starting a new business and the Internet is the way to go in this age.  Plus, they may lead to the uncovering of where Ryan is. 

It also seemed odd to me that the man handed Holly a fairly thick folder from the COUNTY.  I have to wonder why he could have such a thick file, ncluding a birth certificate.  Let's remember it is Los Angeles county with a huge population and Ryan and Lafferty are  fairly generic names.  Would there only be one Ryan Lafferty in all of LA County?  A thick file says criminal record to me.  Perhaps a genuine con man? It woukld make sense and keep more balls in the air for the family Walker. Maybe that is literary license on the part of the writers or just a goof,. We shall have to wait and see. Additionally, The November sweeps is far more important to ad buyers than February or May. I would think the reveal now is more likely than later.

I'll just add to everyone else's correct assumption that Ryan is NOT one of these guys shown here. In fact, if you go to ew.com, Michael Ausiello has scoop on who IS going to play Ryan Lafferty. Hopefully no one else has posted this already :-). I won't say who it is, so as to avoid spoiling anyone, but I'll give you a hint: Who?

-Brian

was one of the many who tried for the role, but apparently, they went with an relatively unknown actor... booooo...   Jason is so adorable and soooooo much like his father. such a pity he didn't get the role.
