Where's Eugene?

"I think Eugene is cruisin' in the bahama mamas while everybody else is in Odyssey!!" -Kyle Meltsner (NOT!!), age n/a

"Hmm... I think Katrina is working with the chairman and Andromeda and Eugene is hiding from her. (Have I mentioned that I have a dislike of Katrina?)" -Elizabeth, age 13

"I think Eugene is undercover. Something is still going on with the Andromeda case." -Jen, age 13

"He's off in Katrina's home town trying to get a divorce. Ok, ok, so maybe not. Maybe he's in Whit's basement while Katrina (she's an agent for the Chairman) tortures him so that he'll tell everything he knows about brain waves and radio waves. Have I mentioned I hate Katrina? And have I mentioned I think she should be dumped from Odyssey? I bet she's the cause of Eugene's disappearance." -name & age n/a

"I think he's somewhere really close to Odyssey. Maybe he still thinks Andromeda is after him. At any rate, I hope he comes back (and divorces that annoying Katrina)!" -Elizabeth, age 13

"I think Eugene works for the CIA and had to go into hiding; meanwhile Katrina had a baby girl named Lindy." -Lucy, age n/a

"Eugene is just staying out of the way of Andromeda. He was stealing the disk so that Odyssey won't be destroyed." -Zach Rathbone, age n/a

"Of course! It all makes sense now. Katrina is a spy working for Andromeda. She marries Eugene, takes him far away just to brain wash and torture him to collect vital information that can soon destroy Odyssey!" -Connie's long lost sister, Bonnie, age 21

"I think Eugene is doing what Whit did when Whit went to the Middle East." -Allison, age n/a

"Because we haven't harassed people enough to get him back on the show. We need to start doing something about it. He is easily the most popular character. And I don't think we could stand to have anybody other than Will Ryan do it, so they had better not even think about using a substitute." -Chris, age 33

"I think Eugene oh so selfishly!" -Katie Campbell, age 16

"Eugene and Harlow Doyle became undercover agents for the U.S. Government. As for Katrina, she ran away to Italy, and is now an opera singer." -Ricky, age 19

"Eugene who? The guy never works anymore! He got married and we haven't heard from him since! Ask Brandon - he's the one that performed the ceremony. Or Mrs. Shanks, as you'd think she might have a clue what part of the globe her daughter is running around in. He'll be back whenever Will Ryan feels like it, or when AIO lucks out again and manages to find another stand-in voice that could do it and would be willing to do it. In the meantime, we all miss Eugene, and continue to enjoy reruns." -Bomber, age n/a

"It should be obvious where Eugene is. He and Katrina are in our basement, where they'll DIE if they don't tell my husband everything about the radio wave-brain wave conversion factor." -Rachael Blackgaard, age n/a

"Eugene and Katrina will have a baby, then return for Connie's wedding!!!! *keep's fingers crossed for Mitch and Connie also!!!*" -Kay, age 18

"Eugene is "How I Do Is Nothing Great" with Katrina. Aren't I smart? Mwahaha... *grin*" -Kanimoto, age 15

"I think he might come back soon." -J, age n/a

"I heard that he quit working for you guys for some reason!" -name & age n/a

"I sent him to the hardware store to buy some RAM chips for our new computers and... Oh my... He never came back!" -'Mr. Whittaker', age 'Very Old'

"Eugene is at a Chinese buffet eating sushi." -name & age n/a

"He is probably still hiding from Andromeda and must live somewhere in the country. He may come back in 5 or 6 years, and maybe he will have a son or daughter genius to help Whit with inventions." -Baatuma, age 14

"Eugene probably will reappear like Mr. Whittaker and Jared DeWhite did. Only God knows!" -Danny, age n/a

"I think that Eugene and Katrina are in the Middle East. Eugene spent some time there with Whit years ago, so he probably has a few connections there still. With some fake ID from the Witness Protection Program, they could have flown there without Andromeda knowing it. While in the Middle East, Eugene is still attempting to gather information about the Chairman. Richard Maxwell, who has been feeding Eugene Novacom info for a few years by now, is the only one who knows where Eugene and Katrina are. One day soon, Richard will come to Odyssey and tell Whit where Eugene is. Then Jason can go see Eugene under the pretense of missions work so nobody will be suspicious. If we cling to hope, Eugene might come back! Richard Maxwell to the rescue!" -Catspaw, age 19

"I think that Eugene went on a honeymoon/hideout with Katrina!!! -Lauren, age n/a

"He thinks he might get in trouble again." -DK, age 14

"They have made it difficult to bring him back I regret to say. The knowledge he has is very dangerous. He may be a target for the rest of his life. I hope they can find a way; I miss him." -Randy, age 35 (father of five)

"Eugene and Katrina are going to have a baby, and they will name it Jonathan." -Billy Bob, age 13

"Probably wherever he was after the whole thing with Andromeda went down. We heard from him via phone, saying that his next course of action would be to return to Odyssey. Who knows when?" -Jonathan King, age 19

"Eugene is in a secure bunker in the woods where he has computers and can monitor the activity and is currently pinpointing the chairman's position to help the FBI." -Jake, age 23

"I think that he's working for the US government and will bump into Mitch in Budapest (where we will also meet the newest little Meltsner)." -Binky the Hamster, age n/a

"Eugene is most certainly hiding in the broom closet at Whit's End! It's so obvious! Ha ha! Brilliant! Brilliant I am! Ha ha! Ha! Ha..." -Eugene Blackgaard, age n/a

"He's either still running from his mess in the Novacom saga, or he's in the witness protection program, or something (since the chairman's still around here somewhere)." -Jonathan, age 18

"He's probably hiding out it some tiny country town, working on some crazy science experiments while he tries to pass the time until it's safe to come out into public again." -Eternal Density, age 18

"I think Eugene is with his wife in Chicago." -Smith, age n/a

"Eugene is in the witness protection program.... ahh shoot I just blew his cover!" -Lindsay, age n/a

"Eugene is in Europe." - Andrew, age 11

"I think Eugene is hiding in Paris, because he speaks French." -Benjamin, age 8

"I think he moved to another state to be with his wife." -Haaken, age 14

"Will Ryan is in jail or in trouble." -Anne, age 38

"I think that Will Ryan either died or got tired of doing Adventures in Odyssey." -Jonathan, age 13

"I think that Will Ryan just keeled over." -Jeremy, age 11

"I think Will Ryan doesn't know how important he is or how much all of us really love him...so he just decided to quit...But with this petition People of America WE the people can return him back to his rightful place!!!!! In Odyssey!!! Thank you thank you!" -Lyndsay, age 15

"Will Ryan is tired of doing Odyssey." -Nathan, age 16

"I bet Will Ryan is probably working on another program thingy, but that wouldn't make any sense, because the people at Odyssey would have told us that; so he's probably gotten himself in some huge trouble." -Jer, age 14

"I think that Will Ryan got put into jail or maybe he just got tired of being in AIO. But wherever you are Will Ryan, I want you to know that we all love you even if you play the part of a computer freak! We love you Will Ryan!!! Please come back!!" -Nicole, age 13

"Will Ryan was simply abducted by Rakistani terrorists." -Samwise, age 13

"Will Ryan simply has amnesia and forgot where he works." -Melissa Valdez, age 21

"The actor they used to use has moved/lost the job/died, so no Eugene. :0(" -name & age n/a

"Unfortunately, I think that Eugene's disappearance is more connected to the actor who plays him (Will Ryan) than to any Novacom-ish plot. I really hope they bring him back though!!! The show is suffering without him. :(" -Gonkz, age n/a

"theory #1:
Will Ryan died and was buried who-knows-where.
theory #2:
Will Ryan was put in jail for... I'm not sure. For something.
theory #3:
Will Ryan could no long bear the embarrassment of pretend marriage to that awful hag 'Katrina' and went crazy so he had to be put in psycho-care.
theory #4:
Will Ryan didn't get enough fan mail so he quit doing AIO." -Lila, age 15

	We learned the truth about Eugene's disappearance in recent episodes, but here are the theories about Eugene's absence, which were sent in before the truth was known.
