How old are every character, how old are they supposed to be onscreen?.......

[Andrew]

I must say like this how old are every character supposed to be.

I mean Marlena Evans Black suffered a miscarriage 2005, i mean she is in her early sixties how old is she supposed to be forty, with her eldest dauther at age thirty and grandson in his late teens. Another thing do every one of you remember that Carrie was told that if she wanted to have children than she must have them soon before it is to late, but a woman 26 years older than Carrie can get pregnant and suffer a miscarriage, that is so silly!.

I read on a another board that Erica Kane her date of birth has started to become later every year, and it said that she is supposed be born in early 1960, i mean is she really supposed to be that young, its so silly, she has been on the show since 1970 when it started is it that much if the writers would write down as woman at the age of sixty, i mean because they havn`t how old is she supposed to be?? In the English soaps they write for every ages and they never make them younger than they really are. Is it that much of a deal in US if you are sixty???????....................

Erica's age is a result of the Kendall rewrite. Erica in 1970 was about 17. FF 22 years to 1992, and they introduced, Kendall as Erica's 16 yr old daughter who she gave birth to at age 14. That would have made Erica 30 when she should have been about 40. There was no way Erica was 30 at that time nor could she have had a secret 16 yr old daughter when the show had been on the air for over 20 yrs. So bc of fan outrage, AMC quickly rewrote it and made Kendall 23, which made Erica 37, which was better than 30. However since AM took over the role, they have since gone back to Kendall's original age and she's now about 30 when she should be in her late 30s. Based on that people, put Erica in her 40s, but I tend to ignore that and go by what was established in the early 90s and say Erica is in her 50s. That tends to make more sense

[R Sinclair]

With Erica, I always just place her five years younger than Lucci. Lucci and my mother both went to the same college, but my mother is four years younger than Lucci. Add the fact that Erica was a year and half younger than my mother when the show debuted, that gives me five years.

Ain't no way I believe Erica to be 50. That's too young, IMO. So I have her at 55, 56.

[Khan]

If Kendall was born when Erica was fourteen (circa 1967), then Kendall should be...about forty!?

(LMAO!)

To me, though, this makes sense (well, about as much sense as this backstory could make, under the circumstances); because, you have to remember, Erica once claimed she attended Woodstock, and THAT was back in '69. It's easier to believe a 16-year-old Erica went to Woodstock rather than a seven-year-old Erica...unless, of course, Mona was a hippie and never told anyone.

Carrie actually had a fertility problem, wasen't about her age.

Marlena's early 50s probably. DH turns 60 this year, Marlena's younger, and they changed her age several times to fit storyline.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Erica is 14 years older than Kendall......and since as of May Kendall said she wasn't even 30 yet, that would make Erica at least 43, which is complete bullshit, lol.

It's like the pink elephant in the room.

[Cheyenne]

Exactly. Not everything has to do with age Andrew.

While the Marlena thing was ridiculous - though would be say the same thing if it was a guy character who got his young wife/girlfriend pregnant (if could be as simple as he is in his 60's she is in her early 40's). Carrie had fertility problems which happens to alot for women around her age so its really "silly".

[dragonflies]

Kendall should be 31, especially if she was born in 1976, when they changed her age during the SMG years.

I don't remember Kendall saying that, when was that? Cause I swear it's been said that Kendall is in her 30's.

[Southofnowhere]

My mom said that Erica was in her 4o's when she gave brith to Bianca. Seh said they made a point of saying it would be a risky because of her age. Bianca's like 22-23. That would make La Kane in her 60's.

DAYS is famous for being way off with the age of their characters and the correct age they should be. And this has a lot do with the urge to immediately age a character rather than allow a character to growup on screen and allow fans to connect with the young character, which I think is another reason why current daytime fans hate the next generations of the soaps. They don't know them. Here's the real age of the characters I know for sure, due to being born on the show or it being stated years prior.

Mike Horton - 39

Hope Brady - 32

Jennifer Deveraux - 31

Carrie Brady Reed - 30

Nicholas Alamain - 22

Sami Brady - 22

Let's see for GH.

Maxie should be turning 17 on Halloween. She was born in 1990. On the show now, I think she is 20 or 21.

Lulu should have turned 13 last month. She was born in August of 1994. On the show now, she is 19.

Dillon should be 15 since he was born in 1992 but on the show now, he is 20, too

Georgie should be 12. She was born in February of 1995. But she is 19 on the show now and is older than Lulu. She is suppose to be 7 months younger.

Brooklyn was born in the fall of 1996 but the show made her older than Georgie and Lulu when she appeared in 2004. She is 20.

Carly is 35 due to the rewrite of her age thanks to the Reese storyline a couple of years ago. She really should be 33 since she was 22 when she came to town in 1996.

If the show ever bring Scott's daughter Serena on, she should be a little bit older than Georgie and Lulu. She was born in December of 1993.

Liz and Lucky are both 25 if you go by the fact they were both 15 when they first got together in 1997.

Robin will be 30 on October 12th.

Jason is 32. If you go by the fact that he, Brenda, Karen, and Jagger all graduated in 1993, then he is 32.

Bobbie is 51. If she was 16 when she had Carly and Carly is 35, that would make her 51.

Michael should be 10 on December 28th but I think on the show he is actually a year or two older.

Morgan should actually be turning 4 at the end of next month but I think he is a year older as well.

Kristina should be turning 5 in November but I think her age on the show now is 6. So if the celebrate this November, she will be turning 7 because of the slight SORAS.

Holly must have gotten pregnant with Blake when she was 13, is it true?

I Know Charity on Emmerdale got pregnant with Debbie when she was 13, and Sarah on Coronation got pregnant when she was 12 or 13..................
