She looks like she could be Chandler Massey's sister, def not his dauguter. These SORASes are just ridiculous.

Its almost like Christel Khalil having college aged kids.

Interestingly enough, this wouldn't be the craziest SORAS'ing we've seen. Arianna was born in 2013. At least they cast a Latina actress and not a blonde hair blue eyed actor like they did when the character before.

They did that one WAAAAAY too fast. It's prevented them from bringing the characters back because it would just look ridiculous. I think they even mentioned Maddie being in GRAD SCHOOL!

Well, we'll see how she reads on screen. That's a red carpet look with a lot of make up. She might end up looking quite a few years younger with more subtle make up and a bit more dressed down, especially as she's only 21 irl.

As thoughtful commentators, we’re all comfortable discussing the nuances of age as a relevant topic when reacting to casting news.

That said, I would gently suggest that reposting a young actress’s social media to initiate commentary on her appearance or perceived age feels misaligned with the standards of discourse we've cultivated.

We all understand the paradox: of course it’s acceptable—even expected—to discuss how actors look; this is visual storytelling, after all. But there’s a meaningful difference between critiquing a performance in the abstract and directing commentary toward a specific person’s account, especially one belonging to a 21-year-old navigating public life.

You already know how easily young women online become targets of inappropriate attention. We can absolutely continue to engage in substantive, even critical, discussion—just perhaps not by holding the mirror quite so close to the subject. Personally, I think there's a line between copy and pasting a pic from Insta, and reposting the actual link to the account, because it makes it too easy for malcontents and misanthropes.

While the issue is sound, there is nothing wrong with constructive criticism of an actor or actress regarding how they look, primarily on the show, or even how their real-life look might impact the character they play or will play in the future. Even their age can/should be subject to comment, as it can play a part in one's belief in their casting for a role, which is likely based on a specific age. Additionally, if age shouldn't be a factor/discussed, Hollywood should stop including that line in their casting calls when they seek actors for key roles.

An example of this would be Beyond the Gates. The show portrays Dani and Bill as having been married for 30 years and having two adult daughters, making them at least 49 years old at the time of the show's premiere. Meanwhile, their portrayers don't look that old and aren't exactly that age. Ironically, some of their younger characters are played by much older actors. Therefore, I do not see anything wrong with fans discussing these matters, unless, of course, it's specifically done in a manner that is negative or disparaging to an individual.

As for sharing posts from social media, I'm sorry, I completely disagree with you here.

I pay for bandwidth and storage fees to manage this website. I should not be burdened with having to pay more to host publicly available content shared on the servers of billion-dollar companies by individuals of voting and legal drinking age who posted the content themselves on said platforms. There is also the legal aspect of someone re-posting the content in general, as videos, for instance, are subject to copyright.

Embedding or linking to social media posts is the preferred method for any content shared on the message boards that originated on social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, X (formerly Twitter) and the like.

I will say, though, sharing a screengrab from an episode of one of the shows for episode discussion purposes is no different than sharing a social media post. Anything one says on the internet, particularly in the public space, is subject to a response. We might not agree on that, but that is my stance on the matter.

Lastly, if someone enters the business of acting and can't handle the response by the consumers they expect to make money off of as part of their careers, they should rethink their profession. This business is cutthroat, and they will endure so much more than a fan on this message board criticising them for their looks. Mind you, I don't think I've seen anyone here do that in a negative sense.

------

On re-reading, if I misunderstood you on this line, please let me know:

If I misunderstood, I will say linking to one's social media is fine. However, this is a message board, and to respond to a topic, you need to see the material. This is why I've been re-publishing the articles on the main SON website on the message boards. When I only linked to the article, no one commented on it. Engagement is a huge part of why the SON Community is successful. If only linked to other websites without providing any context whatsoever, we'd be a dead board walking. I'm not saying that full articles from other websites or images should be lifted from other websites, far from it, I'm just saying that just linking to something without giving people a broader understanding or context would be problematic. 

If I still misunderstood after all of the above. Please clarify.

The reason I posted a photo (via imgur) and not the entire IG post, was because it was from a batch of photos by R.B. within a single IG post.  The other pics within the IG post were not relevant to DAYS.  So I posted here only the one pic relevant to DAYS.

FYI, Marissa Reyes has her birthdate and her IG address on her public IMDB profile. She is 21.
Jason47 website's cast bios pages list actor birthdates -- Ashley Puzemis and Rachel Boyd are both 24. 

Holly was born onscreen 12/21/2016. 
Sophia is a new character, but is a classmate of Holly, so approximately the same age.
Arianna was born onscreen 5/21/2013, so technically would be slightly older, but that could change.

When Arianna was elementary school age, she was shown as friends with Holly.  I don't think their ages were specified at that time, but they were friends. They used to hang out at the Kiriakis mansion with Maggie and Sonny.  They had an encounter in Horton Town Square at Halloween with Nicole and Gabi. 

I posted the photo mainly to show Ms. Reyes with AP and RB.  I  didn't specify this, but this was giving me reason to *speculate* that perhaps Arianna might possibly be SORAS'd to be in the same agegroup as Holly and Sophia?   But I realize that it was an offset social event, so perhaps none of that is relevant and it's simply a fun photo.

To be fair, we know it really doesn't matter when someone is born on DAYS as their SORAS has been all over the place, plus I suspect they might care more about how it ages Gabi / Will at this point (I think that's why they avoided SORASing Will despite it being rumoured for ages; same with Shawn D). As I said, I kind of hope they don't age her to more than 16, but I'm guessing they might do 18 since that's Holly's age and they're probably trying to build an age group where Doug3 (21-ish?) can be included.

    • She would be great, but I of course am thinking of her in What's Love Got to Do with It.
    • Agreed that they had a home in the present tense of the first set of episodes.  But I was wondering if they lived in the mansion in the past when Sophia disappeared, and moved out when Santana got pregnant?  Or even when Danny was born.
    • According to the French Santa Barbara site the Andrades had a house in the early episodes.  I thought I remembered scenes in their home. The Andrade house
    • I always wondered if the Andrades lived at the Capwell Mansion?  Certainly they could've had a living room in their space or wherever they went on days off. But, I felt like it was never clear whether Santana visited Rosa when Kelly and Eden were young, or if she actually lived in the servant's quarters (one hopes modern developers have found a euphemism for that space).  I always imagined that Rosa, Santana, and Reuben lived with CC up until Channing was murdered, and then they found their own place because the kids were mostly over 18 (and Santana was pregnant). I like the idea of Rueban and CC being close until Santana got pregnant.  And then Reuben would've hated the adoption of Brandon.  Which would have meant he hated CC, and would've only continued to work for him to try to get info on whatever happened to his grandson. With regard Ava Lazar, having recently rewatched the pilot for the millionth time, I find her captivating to watch, but her line delivery is so dull. She looks amazing, and I just want her to be more quick witted.
    • I liked the original 4 family set up.  The families were all different from each other and were intertwined.  They should have been given equal airtime. I felt that Lockridges were perfectly cast with the exception of Laken.  She should have been quickly recast.   I liked all 4 of the actors cast as the Andrades and wish they would have been given better writing.  I really thought Ava Lazar (Santana) would have been one of the breakout stars if she had not been replaced. My only issue with the casting of the Perkins family was Robert Alan Browne as John and as much as I liked Mark Arnold he was the wrong actor to recast Joe Perkins. And of course it was ridiculous how badly they screwed up the casting of CC. The other Capwells were well cast.
    • This late 1976 stuff doesn't sound as bad as it has in other versions I've read (weekly recaps from Jon-Michael Reed and SOD synopses). I am surprised that there is a variation of Ian - Meg - Arlene - Tom playing out this late in the game, but it doesn't sound half bad. Ian's involvement with Beaver Ridge and how it impacts Rick and Cal's future also intrigued me  more than I expected. Even the Carrie - Betsy connection having Carrie watch Suzanne while Ben is visiting was a nice surprise. I feel like this all falls apart pretty quickly with the arrival of Mia Marriott, Michael Blake, and a slew of other half baked characters under Upton.  
    • Too bad she ended up on Y&R. Actress Valarie Pettiford might've been "Sharon" because she sings too and does it pretty well.

    • @NothinButAttitude thanks for sharing the rough draft. I had bought "Shadows on the Wall" from Kathryn Leigh Scott's website probably 20+ years ago. It's a fascinating read into a very different version of what the show could have been. 
    • @Efulton That's the quote I was refering to. In the bible, at almost the beginning, Rueben and C.C. were compared as being similar as two fathers wanting everything for their children, or something along those lines. I do think the Andrades were intended to have more of a role, but they never even garnered a family set (just Santana's apartment). In 1991, they added the Capwell kitchen which seemed to be a domestic space for Rosa, but clearly not solely Rosa's. I feel like I remember Rosa confronting Santana about her feelings for C.C. being an attempt to recreate her grand fantasy with Channing, Jr. in the kitchen, but more likely that was the bedroom Santana was redecorating (C.C.'s master suite) utilizing the designsshe had envisioned for herself and Channing, Jr.  
    • On the French Santa Barbara site Ismael Carlo did not hold back about how he felt about the Dobsons. http://santabarbara-online.com/index2.htm How did you start in Santa Barbara ? My recollection is that I auditioned for the role. After a couple of weeks of contract negotiations I was told that all was in order and that I would start work in a couple of weeks or so. But that's when the sh*t hit the fan. In her high petulant way she (Bridget Dobson) commenced to tell me how all her South American workers were beholding to her. How she treated them, "like children". I said to her, "I'm not a child". She got upset and started to cry. I told her that if she did not want me on the show, all she had to do was break the contract and pay me. It never happened. The Dobsons, who were the producers, where a pair of what you would call in your country aristocrats in their minds. I almost quit just before I started. But like any actor at the time I stuck it out all because of the work. I don't think I will ever sell my soul again. I was also able to perform with the lead actor and director in a production of his: Romeo & Juliet. I played Papa Capulet.
