Who's doing that? I think we've all accepted the situation but that doesn't mean we have to pretend it doesn't exist. I accept that CmC is playing the mother to RB but that doesn't mean I have to pretend that makes sense anymore than it made "sense" for Phylicia Rashad to take over a role played by Estelle Parsons in August: Osage County. We as the audience get to decide for ourselves what is and isn't acceptable. I've chosen to accept Dixie/JR but I can easily see why somebody wouldn't.

Who's having a huge issue?! Since when did it become blasphemy to acknowledge what we see on the screen? And it's not like no one has brought this up before (see: Sami/Will.) Bad SORAS has always been a topic of discussion on all the shows. Why is it off limits now?

and? People complain about those, especially the latter one, which still gets criticism despite the fact that EJ was SORASED years ago. Its been even more glaring now with ED back as his sister (which she fits better than his mother, which is why I suspect she hasnt reprised her role as Susan)

But with young-ish Cady McClain as Dixie, there's no other choice, IMO. IIRC, JR and Bianca were born a year or so apart. Ergo, I feel their ages must always correspond to that fact. Bianca can't be mother to a teenaged daughter while JR himself is about to enter college just because SuLu looks too old to have a daughter still in school.

And maybe "SORAS" isn't the right word. What is the opposite of SORAS, when you have to keep a child younger than you would normally because you can't believe his/her on-screen parent(s) are old enough to have teenaged or young adult children?

I didn't mean you. I've seen some other dire intimations based on this, though, which I just can't take seriously.

As for Cady, I wouldn't lose her for anything. She's great. And she works as the "young grandma" - all they'll ever have to do, and what I'm almost certain they will do, is call attention to the fact that Adam knocked up the nanny when she was real young. Done.

Because, we are talking about AMC, which is just too good right now, so how dare you criticize it at all?

And what's this [!@#$%^&*] about Phylicia Rashad taking over Estelle Parsons' role? Even if they wanted an AA actress for that part, I think they could have done better than Clair [!@#$%^&*] Huxtable.

I dont think there is a term for that. Its what they are doing with Elizabeth on GH. Most of the kids born after Cameron have been SORASed but they refuse to age him. I imagine bc BH looks too young to play mother to a teenager

On a side note, it always bothered me how AMC was so slow to SORAS Petey. I cant beleive he grew up in real time from 1992 to 2008, where he got his first major SORAS, which wasnt even major as he only aged 2 years more than he should have been. I had a hard time watching Opal at her age trooping around with a 10 year old back in the late 90s/early 00s.

It's called de-SORAS. Another example is Kendall. Wasn't she like 15 when she first appeared?

No that is not deSORASing which is being discussed here. That refers to when a character is made younger than they were previously portrayed. What he was referring to was not aging a character. And Kendall was SORASED soon after she started. She was originally 16 but made 23 within a few months. One could say she was deSORASed when AM joined as they seemed to go back to what her original age would have been

I'm confused, I'm on episode 3 of AMC and why did Opal delete Celia's file?

OMG Celia if you're such a tech wiz why can't you just hit the back button?

To orchestrate some nonsense between "lovebirds in the making" Celia and Pete, I think. Opal will rue the day she did that, too, when she sees what kind of psycho hose beast Celia turns out to be.

Not yet. But that's our hunch. wink.png

Personally, I'm looking forward to it. It'll be awesome to see Celia do stuff like pull out a voodoo doll resembling Colby that she'll poke and prod and rip to shreds.

      The Hollands obviously had long term story in place for Lee/Caroline/Bobby etc but when the Pollocks arrived they quickly wrapped it up with the new diagnosis and sent them packing. That could have been it for Lee but I think the Elmans brought Lee/Scotty back in their short stint.  Somebody must have regretted dumping Lee.I'm sure Peter Hansen was happy to get the call to return.

      You have to stop and think: was Estelle the mother to all five children?  How many Mrs. Kendalls existed? Linda Cook played Aileen Kendall in flashbacks, but, at the time, we thought she was the only prior Mrs. Kendall.  It seemed that Aileen’s name was changed to Estelle when Domini Blythe came on.  But Lloyd (Peter Haskell) is said to be going through a divorce when he’s introduced (and when he’s pursuing Sunny).  To me, Aileen is Estelle, and the mother to all the children. The wife Lloyd is divorcing is inconsequential.  Wendy’s fate is never resolved.

      I just hope it doesn’t become a constant thing. Like with Days, it’s funny the first time, but after the 475th time, it isn’t anymore.

      Jibre/Jacob is moving to the top of my list. Such a likeable presence. Give Jacob/Naomi a home set! Ted's jacket ... Stating that Derek/Ashley have been together 2 years kinda undermines the story. If it had been say 6 months, then problems might be arising-but after 2 years?? The ATWT reference was cute-but of course Dr Nicole only knew about the show through patients-God forbid she ever watched it herself! Might have been cuter had she said she got hooked through patients and ended up taping it herself and watching it at home to unwind.

      I hate it too but people casualy posting it so openly is dumb as hell. Especially when it’s known that they are hunting them down.

      Wasn't Taylor Miller still playing Nina during the period that Devon was on the show? She was also written out around the time Julia Barr left and Brooke was recast. I wonder if they brought her back because being the doomed non-Nina love interest to Cliff was something they didn't want to give to a woman they cared about, and they didn't want to create yet another Kennicott relation. Then having her for the Lynn Carson story also made sense because if there was intense viewer backlash, she could easily be written out.
