B&B: Leslie- Anne Down should have been offended to play Jack Wagners mother

[Andrew]

I have said it many times but who made Lesley- Anne Down play Jack Wagners mother, she is born in 1954 and he is born in 1959, 5 years difference, and actually She looks younger than him, he is starting to grow old, i mean it, he looked rather handsome on Melrose Place, but now, he is actually starting to look older than his so called mother. They could play Husband and Wife, but Mother and son, so wrong. He could play her father, that would be fun to see....!!!!

LAD should be happy she got a job, IMHO.

i actually do think they could pass as mother and son tho. Yes she looks younger than she is, but it also looks like she got that by a lot of surgery.

besides, its a soap opera.

[Andrew]

Well Offcourse she has had Plastic Surgery, but still she looks younger than him, offcourse she should be happoy that she a work, as she is not the greatest actress, she gives away to much of a nervous side on acting,....

Jack should play her father!!!!....

Jack has aged a lot, just look at those close ups lol. Originally Linda Gray was offered this part which wouldn't have been believable either.

[stenbeck212]

She does NOT look younger than him by any stretch of the imagination. Wagner just got exceptionally wrinkly faster than most people. The way she carries herself makes the portrayal of his mother believable.

[Cheap21]

why should she be offended? If anything its a compliment to Jackie to look that young and hot for a mother of someone that old. Qualifies her as a MILF for some people

[BadZoe]

They should write that she isn't his mother at all and that he was actually Kay's son/Jill's twin on Y&R. Although that would mean having to see JW on Y&R and I've enjoyed not seeing him on B&B lately.

Lesley Anne Down has stated, repeatedly, that she has not had plastic surgery. Instead, she says that she has had everything else her dermatologist could offer her, including Botox to which she responded "Bloody Hell Yes!"

Jack Wagner is one of those guys who got too much sun and it's catching up with him now.

And yes, the way LAD carries herself, plus her English accent, does make her seem older than him. Whatever. I'm just happy to see an actress 50+ who actually gets to do something on a soap.

[Andrew]

I Actually thougt Botox, where a form of plastic surgery.

I Prefer the elder cast in English soaps, who hasn`t had any plastic surgery at all....

[DaytimeFan]

Strictly speaking Botox, Collagen Injections and Facial Fillers (all of which I'm certain LAD has had) are not considered plastic surgery. Rather, they are considered to be parts of cosmetic dermatology.

Plastic Surgery involves knives, anesthesia and cutting.

Frankly, LAD has been so honest over the years about using Botox and Intense Pulsed Light and other things that I think if she had already had plastic surgery she would have said it...after all, she looks fabulous so she's got nothing to hide.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I think Jackie's time has come and gone on B&B, I wouldn't care or be too surprised if she's fired this year...

[DaytimeFan]

I sort of agree....Jackie's never been written for properly and so she sort of seems like a character who had her chance and is over. I'm a fan of LAD though so I wouldn't be happy to see her go. I think, if written for, Jackie Marone could take the place of the lead B story which Darlene Conley so memorably and admirably filled for nearly 20 years.
