Lesley-Anne Down (Jackie, B&B) is only 5 years older than on-screen son Jack Wagner (Nick, B&B).

 

Here’s another I accidentally stumbled upon...

 

Search For Tomorrow - Millie Taggart (1940) playing Janet Collins, mother to Liza Walton (Meg Bennett (1948), and Sherry Mathis (1949)). So only 8-9 years difference! And it particularly struck me with Taggart and Mathis.

When they had a 29 year old CK become mom to teenage twins on Y&R. All that, and they just shipped the kids off anyway.

On Love of Life Bruce Sterling (Ron Tomme) was father to 2 children Barabara and Alan.

Ron was 10 years older than Lee Lawson (Barbara)  and 7 years older than Dennis Cooney (Alan).

Inspired by the late in life pregnancy thread. What are some of the ridiculous casting choices where a kid has been aged and the actor(s) is too young in reality to be their parent(s) ? 

 

Too many to count. 😉😂 Seriously, did anyone buy AW's Sandra Ferguson (now Robinson) and Alicia Leigh Willis (Amanda and Alli) as mother and daughter? I think there was a decade between them, if that. 

NuJordan and NuTJ on GH. She's 28 and he's 24.

Ok, now THAT’S embarrassing, but good on Briana. She definitely has an older aura.
