I'm laughing at Brady actually being younger than Sonny and Theresa. His SORASing is almost as bad as EJ's.

Brady kind of got double-SORASed, too. They made him about 19 in 2000 (when he should have been 8), and when Martsolf took over the part in 2008, Brady had again sort of been bumped up into the Sami/EJ/Nicole age range. They haven't really said it onscreen, but he's playing closer to Martsolf's real age (41?) than the early-mid 30s age that Brady should be based on that original aging.

So if there was no SORASING these characters would be the following ages. Certainly the show would be very different if children weren't aged.I didn't include non core children or offspring of already SORASED characters.

David Banning 47

Mike Horton 47

Melissa Anderson 44

Hope Williams 41

Jennifer Horton 39

Dougie LeClair 39

Sarah Horton 33

Samantha/Eric Brady 31

Andrew Donovan 29

Alex Kiriakis 26

Stephanie Johnson 25

Joseph/Victor Kiriakis 25

Jeannie Theresa Donovan 25

Sonny Kiriakis 24

Brady Black 23

Belle Black 22

Phillip Kiriakis 20

Elvis Di Mera 18

Joy Wesley 12

Theo Carver 12

Most of these are not glaring on the show today. Until you get to Brady lol. After him things get quite sloppy.

David Banning(along with Scotty!) and Michael Horton were really SOARSed too fast weren't they?

Like the births of Jack Jr. and Ciara, a lot of them were under intense conditions--Kimberly had Andrew in the mountains and didn't know who the father was, and of course the two baby switches.

I was reading old SOD synopses and in the January 78 issue there is mention of Toni (Chip Fields) giving birth to a daughter named Naiobi, just 4 pounds so must spend time in an incubator.

I re-read the list and saw no mention?

I don't ever remember seeing a Naiobi in the cast lists. I might have missed a minor birth or two in checking into the early births of the show, since I never saw those episodes. I'll look through the cast charts & set lists and see what pops up in regards to Toni.

UPDATE: The January 1978 SOD covered 10/10/77-11/4/77. Toni appeared in just two episodes during that time frame: 10/26/77 and 11/3/77. Also the weekly synopsis for 10/31/77-11/4/77 says this: Trish comforted Toni whose baby is near death.

Here's the set lists for those 2 episodes:

10/26/77: Greg, Bob, Linda, Don, Trish, Mary, Marlena, Chris, Jeri, Paul, Toni, Ms. Moore/Bob's Secretary, Nurse.

Sets: Marlena’s Hospital Room, Trish’s Apartment, Don’s Outer Office, Bob’s Office, Toni’s 4-Bed Ward at Sherman Falls Hospital, Dr. Whitman’s Office (Limbo).

11/3/77: Bill, Mike, David, Trish, Mary, Chris, Marie, Phyllis, Danny, Patti, Toni, Timothy, Nurse.

Sets: Trish’s Apartment, Phyllis’ Boutique, Pediatric Waiting Room, Mary’s Office (P.R. Department), Marie’s Clinic Office, Pediatric Ward of ICU, Sherman Falls Hospital Phone (Limbo).

So, her birth was definitely off-camera. I guess if she went into labor on-screen (which I don't know at the moment), the birth would qualify for the list, although from the cast lists, it looks like the baby was never actually seen on camera (and may have been born sometime between 10/26 and 11/2). So, for the moment, I'll keep her off the list. But thanks for bringing it to my attention!
