Ruairi is on here as Ryans legal brother, does that mean Ali should be Icyneo1 (talk)


I don't think so. Ali and Ruairi are biologically half brothers. Ryan is listed as Ruairi's 'legal' half brother because for all official purposes he is still considered the son of Michelle and Dean who raised him and Ali is similarly officially recorded as the son of Nick and Wendy Neeson. There is no biological link between Ali and Ryan and as far as I gather of such situations no 'legal' link either because they are considered to have a different set of parents, whichever way you look at it. Michelle calls them both her sons and the show basically treats them as if they were biological brothers these days, presumably because it is just easier to explain than constantly dragging up the baby swap storyline but factually we cannot say they are actually related. So (and I might be wrong here) while Ali and Ryan would have shared some form of 'sibling' relationship to Ruari, they have no such relationship to each other. Just one of the more unique situations in the show's history I guess. Carterboi33 (talk) 17:14, December 31, 2019 (UTC)
