Members KMan101 Posted April 19, 2017 Members Share Posted April 19, 2017 They could just off Lily finally if they won't recast Khalil. We have a much more compelling character in Hillary anyway. Not that it should be one or the other but still ... it frees up Lily playing mom to someone who clearly isn't 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted April 19, 2017 Members Share Posted April 19, 2017 This is nothing new. Actors who are clearly older play much younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Members Share Posted April 19, 2017 Uh uh. Don't kill Lily so that the too old actress you cast can look more believable. Seems backwards. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted April 19, 2017 Members Share Posted April 19, 2017 If this show makes Lily a grandmother in the next couple of years? I will LOL. FOREVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MoTheGreat Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 You know what, I always said I wouldn't support Y&R as long as CK is on there but I can't miss this storyline plot. I have to see CKLily being mother to kids that look like they could be her actual siblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tune_in_tomorrow Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 Completely agree with everything in this post (well, I can't speak to the UK soaps but will assume that's correct). I know there isn't budget to bring in too many characters in the "in-between" years of childhood and late teens when it becomes supposedly easier to write but I think SORASing is generally lazy writing. There have been exceptions where it's worked and the age differences between parent and child aren't as jarring as this will be, but IMO that's more the exception than rule. I'll never forget 30-year old Betsy referring to 50-year old Ellen as "grandma" in the late '80s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 This is absolute insanity and I can't WAIT to see how terribly it turns out. I think there's an in-between with SORASing that works. If a character is supposed to be, say, 11 or 12, and then they cast an actor to play 16, whatever. You're just kind of eclipsing a few years, and especially if the parents are old enough to have a kid that age, fine. That makes sense to me. It's when they completely screw with timelines that it becomes damaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
