All: actual correct ages of characters on soaps

[ER Tosh]

Sure they can all change this in a minute if the plot calls for it. but here is my take for some of the people on OLTL

OLTL

Todd: 39

John 40

Rex 30

Bo 61

Clint 63

Viki 61

Dorian 63

Blair 40ish

Jessica 30/31

Nat 30/31

Gigi 29?

[quartermainefan]

AMC

Erica 55 (supposedly she was 15 when the show started in 1970)

which means that Kendell is 41

Bianca 22

GH

Near as I can guesstimate, Edward is about 90

He was roughly 60 in 1978 and the father to a guy who was 40 give or take, and then he was said to be a navy captain during WWII, so assuming he was 25 more or less in 1943 that makes him somewhere around 93.

Lucky 25

Jason 29

Robin 32

Alexis is tricky...she was the younger sister of Stavros but Stavros was approximately 30 in 1982, maybe even 25. So Alexis was is basically 50ish, and she had Sam at 16 making Sam 34. Nik was born in 1982 making him 28. Lulu is 17 I think. Maxie is 20, Dr Steven is 33.

Wow, when I saw this, the first thing that came in my head was "Isnt he dead", then I realized he is barely on so he might as well be

Sam is not 34. She was stated as being 26 when her maternity was revealed, so she'd be 29/30 now

[marceline]

You people are only going to make yourselves crazy.

In the words of Miles O'Brien, "I hate temporal mechanics."

[ER Tosh]

You are 100 percent right Marceline but sometimes things like this are fun to do when your bored

[quartermainefan]

I know what they said, but that is if you accept the deSORAS of the Alexis character. Alexis explicitly said she had Sam when she was 16. With Nik as an anchor point for a timeline, you can pretty much make accurate estimations as to all their ages, and Nik was born in 1982 making him 28. Nik's father we know is about 25 or so years older than he is, and through flashbacks we know Alexis is a few years younger than Nik's father. And Sam is Alexis-16.

[ER Tosh]

I think on OLTL a few years ago they aged up Rex by two or three years. That kind of makes all the talk of Natalie "taking care" of Rex when Roxy was drunk of silly since they are almost the same age.

[Cheap21]

Im 27 and Rex used to be younger than me. Now he's older at 30

[YRBB]

I would actually love to know how old B&B and Y&R characters should be if you factored in all the SORASing. I imagine Katherine alone would be close to 150

[marceline]

Hey, I'm not hating! It's kind of like The Great Communicator Debates that Trekkers have been having for years. They're questions without answers so all you can do is pick your school of thought and make your case.

And please someone, lay out the ages of the AMC's Martins/Cooney/Chandler spawn please. I'm still trying to figure out how Jake, Amanda and Frankie are all the same age. Once you throw in Liza and Colby it's all over.

[ER Tosh]

How awkward it would be if Brenda meets up with Edward again.

Brenda: Hello Edward... Im sorry about your wife.. and your son... and three of your grandkids... but hey your hearts still working (insert Brenda laugh)

[Mr. Vixen]

Edward Quartermaine - Older than dirt.

Stephanie Forrester - She is the dirt.

Viki Lord - The mother of the dirts dirt.

Katherine Chancellor - Let's just say she used to be known as "Eve".

[SFK]

Call it vanity, but my boxer briefs get in a bunch when characters who were *always* older than me are suddenly even a handful of years younger. They need to suffer along with the dirty thirty like the rest of us.

[All My Shadows]

*casually wanders in* Oh...well...don't mind if I do!

Without SORASing/deSORASing...

Tad, Liza, Angie, Jesse, presumably Krystal - anywhere from 45-50, most are probably on the lower end of that

Jake - 31 on Christmas Day

JR - 21

Scott - about 32

Amanda - 18

Frankie - 27

Colby - 11

Natalia - no more than 20 (was it ever established how long after his "death" Jesse fathered her?)

Damon - 19

It's not TOO far off. Thanks to Knight, Morgan, and Williams being around for all these years, their characters' ages have pretty much been set (but then again, that never stopped Erica). They had Frankie SORASed on The City and when they did that lame return story in '02, but I'm guessing he's currently around his non-SORAS age. Jake's gotta have at least five extra years on him, and JR's got at least 10. Scott would be relatively SORAS-free if not for Cosgrove's old self coming back. I don't care what they say, they won't get me to believe Amanda and Jake are around the same age. That's BS. I'll give them around 26-30 for Amanda. Natalia's gotta have some extra years on her, at least four or five.

Kendall's existence annoys me already, but to think about how the show has to bend and manipulate Erica's age/timeline to accommodate this shrew of a character...ugh. They settled on Kendall being in her early 20s when she was first introduced, so bitch has GOT to be pushing 40. Yet I believe the last thing we heard for an age for her would put her at 34. And they're STILL pushing the "Errrkuh was raped when she was 14, yalll!" thing, so Erica's now 48?! And Bianca's coming up on at least 27-28 herself, so there's a seven year difference between Bianca and Kendall...Josh is supposed to be in there somewhere...so allllll of the old school Erica stuff from like the first 15 years of the show are now supposed to have taken place within half the time. All because of Kendall.
