As for age thing, SORASing is a weird topic. Yes, KA isn't old enough to be Brandon Beemer's mother but Hope is while LK isn't old enough to be RM's grandmother but Kate is. But they were there, established before the characters who are related to them were "aged" and so it's easy to just let that issue go.

When a new character comes in, I tend to take the actor's REAL AGE and compare it to the other actors RL age. That's why I had such issue with SC and RM because the show attempted to make us believe SC was no where near his real fortysomething age.

Putting her with the veterans would basically give her no story. The only two unattached actors (not counting John) would be Dan and Roman and I'm not interested in seeing her act opposite them. We've got so many guys in the thirtysomething age range and she's barely past that, I have no issue having her act opposite those guys and see how it works. Truth be told, I have no issues with her acting opposite Blake Berris or Darin Brooks (anything to break the incest) as a potential love interest as long as the show confronts the age difference instead of trying to pretend it's not there.
