==History==
Ryan Connor first came to Weatherfield at the end of August 2006 and has settled in the street over the next decade despite moving away on two instances.
During his time in the street, Ryan's major events included bonding with his estranged mother Michelle Connor; briefly dating Bethany Platt; an on-off conflict with his half-brother Ali Neeson; getting beaten up by Ali's love rival Gary Windass; survivng a hit and run incident; and an ongoing relationship with his girlfriend Alya Nazir that at one point has involved supporting Alya when her grandmother Yasmeen Nazir is the victim of coercive control and domestic abuse from her villainous husband Geoff Metcalfe. In 2022, Ryan is the subject of an all-important storyline - and arguably his biggest one yet - when he saves local resident Daisy Midgeley from being the victim of an acid attack by her stalker Justin Rutherford and instead becomes the victim of the attack himself. Unfortunately this leads to him and Alya braking up, only for Daisy (under Alya’s guise) to try fixing their relationship texting Ryan, before Ryan starts falling in love with Daisy.
