I think I also got an explanation why I fell in love more with Christian/Matt than Shane/Cody. When I was watching it mainly, I was the same age like Shane was IN the show. 16, and besides, we two look too much alike. Dark hair, blue eyes.

Here's a link to an article about Christian and Shane's Mom, Joan Kenlay. But they always forgot the sister between the boys, Christy. Joan Kenlay
Besides, Shane seems to be back in business but he's working more behind the scenes. As an ADR: Loop Group. I even looked for this and it means he's working on the voices and musics after filming a movie/series and so on. And he'll be appearing in an episode of "9-1-1" airing on May 24. Wonderful!! Is on my list to watch too. If I can recognize him nowadays.

Acting might have lost its appeal, now that his dad is gone.
They can't work together anymore

True. If only he could get his big brother acting again. And your opinion on the article about their Mom?

Another article to the show, or the preparations for it. Hope, to not have it posted twice. Later today, I'm going to watch this "9-1-1" episode with Shane and try to recognize him. Maybe I'll try to make a screenshot here. After or before watching my German documentary TV. lol

So, I managed to make a screenshot of Shane in "9-1-1" and yes, he's still recognizable. For contrast the only picture of big brother Christian (with his family) from his Twitter account.
EDIT: Sorry to post them here but since I mentioned it in this thread.

Yep, we're getting older and you could see it on Shane's face. Still attractive, both of them.

So, as promised another article to when the show was promoted back in 1988. Or just before it. Conrads ride high as 'Rangers'
By ED BARK DALLAS MORNING NEWS
One braces for any encounter with Battery Bob Conrad, who playfully calls his two sons "faggots" in a Dallas hotel lobby and later uses stronger language to shred two prominent television critics whose ethics he questions.
What you see is a blockily built 52-year-old intimidator dressed in jeans, work shirt and a leather jacket with "Duke" on the left breast pocket and the logo for his new 'High Mountain Rangers' series on back.
What you get is a no-holds-barred interview with a Hollywood heavyweight who jabs, "I believe in the power of the pen. I think when you guys get the job and get that pencil, that you have elevated yourselves to a higher place. I believe that. And when you don't, I think we can be watchdogs, top. But most of the acting community is intimidated by the press. My mother was a press agent, so I'm not intimidated."
Conrad and his sons, Shane, 16, and Christian, 23 were in Dallas last week to use the "New Year's Day Cotton Bowl parade" as a vehicle to promote High Mountain Rangers, which premiered Saturday on CBS and will go against Dolly when ABC moves her from Sundays to Saturdays on Jan. 16. As Parade commentators, the Conrads proved to be about as facile as Pee-wee Herman might be in calling an NFL playoff game.
But on last Wednesday, Conrad pledged to pronounce the mayor's name correctly and even to ooh or ahh over a float if it had "some honeys on it." "Larry Manetti (the Magnum, P.I. co-star who called former Dallas mayor Starke Taylor "Strake" last year) is stupid," Conrad said. "He couldn't remember his own name, he thinks he's Tom Selleck. I started his career, and I'm the person that's qualified to call him stupid, because he is. He can't act." That doesn't qualify the Conrads as Barrymores.
The sons frequently were tongue-tied, but dad committed the day's major gaffe when Shane failed to sound excited about saying, "What a parade this is." "It really is," Conrad replied. "And I think we should hand out a few bouquets to the people who make it worse. Make it work, I'm sorry." Conrad, who jokingly called his sons "dummies" during the 90-minute telecast, later referred to the Apache Belles drill team as the Apache "Dolls." "Well, I guess dad's the dummy," Conrad said after being corrected. "I second that," said Shane.
Conrad is smarter than most actors when discussing the nuts and bolts of the TV industry. Like Pete Rose talking batting averages, Conrad knows his Nielsen numbers and whom he was a hit against. The original High Mountain Rangers movie, telecast on Easter Sunday, knocked off competition from The Ten Commandments and a Bob Hope special, he recalled. His 1980 movie "Coach of the Year," "kicked butt" and drew a fat 36 percent of the audience while 1984's "Hard Knox" went soft in the ratings because it was "pre-empted in 44 markets, including Dallas."
When his eighth TV series (the first was Hawaiian Eye) goes against Dolly, CBS and Conrad will be ready with an episode in which his character, Jesse Hawkes, kills a "homicidal maniac" and goes to trial while sons Cody (Shane) and Matt (Christian) roam the high mountains in search of evidence to clear their father. On the surface, Bob Conrad vs. Dolly Parton is quintessential macho against pulchritude, beefcake dueling cheesecake. But he doesn't see it that way. "Is Dolly in 16 Magazine or Super Teen?" he asked. "Shane and Chris are. I don't think that Dolly's a real threat to (NBC's competing) Facts of Life. I don't know whether we'll be either, frankly. But I think we're a better match-up than Dolly. I'm not the horse here, see. It's not a Robert Conrad series. If it were, I'd be on at 9 o'clock doing a Hunter-type series."
The jut-jawed Conrad image took permanent hold when his displays of competitive frenzy on ABC's Battle of the Network Stars led to his famous "C'mon, I dare ya" commercials for Eveready batteries. "Yeah, I liked that commercial. I like it a lot," Conrad said. He also admired the grit of teammate Farrah Fawcett. "She was tough," he remembered. "She was riding a bike on concrete and I thought, 'If this little honey falls, we're talking serious injury.' But she gutted it out. I was very impressed with her."

So, found some more articles as pics which I will bring here too - soon. At the moment, nothing new has surfaced. But I'll keep looking.
