âDid you not see Ryan piling food onto Ivyâs plate? The idea of lyy being a clout chaser was laughable, especially coming from Ryanâs fans. They were both fresh faces in the industry. For Colton to cast both of them, either their acting skills are exceptional, or they have influential support backing them up.â
âCan the fans just cool it? Look at them, theyâre having a blast together at dinner. Your squabbling is just going to spoil the vibe.â
Many pure cinema buffs who were fans of Colton couldnât stand the petty fan wars. The incessant bickering in the comment sections was enough to turn any bystander off. Besides, the two of them were just starting out. What was there to even argue about?
Ivyâs fans, mostly young women, took the criticism to heart and ceased fire immediately.

Despite not being the most active online, her comment section was always buzzing with lively girls sending their love, sharing their day-to-day lives, or discussing behind-the-scenes clips. There were even some profile pictures featuring her and Ryan spliced together â the hallmark of âshipâ fans.
These fans typically just squealed with delight over the potential couple, maintaining an unspoken-code of conduct in her comments.

Dean and Alyssa were certainly not out of touch with technology.
Many in the inner circles were aware of her ties to Balfour. If her and Ryanâs ship kept trending, how would the Howards be seen?
