I don't think so, if I understand the curse correctly, the only way to trigger the domino effect through the generation of a family is to kill the youngest/newest. Now there is some speculation that there might have been a few in the Nevernever that the reverse curse may have missed, but none on this side.

As I understood it the curse crawls up but not down. They could have sacrificed Harry to get Eb. The reason Harry told Susan she was the youngest is that they could get all of them

That's my understanding as well.
--- Quote from: Mira on October 14, 2020, 11:51:47 AM ---Timing is everything, not saying it is impossible and some other half turned decided to rip someone's throat out in anger a second after Susan and be the youngest, or somehow became half turned.

I think you're missing what I'm saying. If somebody got half-turned in Summer Knight, then they're a younger half-ramp than Susan was, so it's possible their ramp half counted as younger than Susan the ramp. They could still be a half ramp, or they could have succumbed to the thirst after Changes and become a full ramp.
There's nothing Jim's said or written that says this can't be the case, so if he decides to reintroduce ramps this way, he can. It's not foreclosed.
BrainFireBob:
It depends on what kind of reset/rebirth the conversion to full Ramp represents.
And also whether the curse moves laterally before vertically. Being a newborn Ramp may have made her sibling for a brief window to all fetal Ramps.
JB was clear that the Reds, unless somewhere the curse couldn't touch them, were gone, and the half-ramps were de-halved, with those who would still be alive as mortals surviving. Instead of arguing that the author is wrong given an interpretation, maybe look for the interpretation that matches the author's statement on the matter.
Telynn:
Didn't someone say that all the half-vamps (St. Jiles) died as a result of what Harry did? Or am I imagining that?
