Right....but I don't think that's different from what we were already supposed to think about Rafe. You were suggesting that was a change. |

The lack of reference to the Rafe/Hope age difference, whatever it may be, doesn't really bug me for a few reasons. First, we didn't see Rafe grow up in town, so we have no past reference (i.e. no scenes of teenaged Hope holding baby Rafe or anything). Second, they've never established how old Rafe is supposed to be. He was paired with Sami, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything as far as age goes. I figure he's roughly her age, but if her were 5-7 years older, the gap between he and Hope isn't any bigger than the gap between Hope and Bo or Steve and Kayla. Third, their characters don't seem to be substantially different in age. It's not like Rafe is in college or something. He's a cop and former FBI agent who had a career before he showed up in Salem. He was married to a woman who is now a grandmother. So, there may be a gap, but it's not significant in my mind. |

LOL, wow. I always assumed that Rafe was quite close in age to Sami. I didn't watch many Safe scenes but it was relevant that his youngest sister was the same age as her oldest son. Okay, Sami was a teen when Will was born... not that weird for there to be a 15 or 18 year age gap between the Hernandez siblings. But if Rafe has a decade or more on Sami, there's closer to a thirty year spread between Rafe and Gabi. Poor Mama Hernandez. That's a lot of time to be raising kids... not that she did much raising of them apparently. |

Hope was 18 in 1983 or '84, right? If Rafe was in high school in the 80's, then he could be about 5 years younger than Hope. And about 7 years older than Sami. Neither age difference is big enough, or has any kind historical reference, to be a big deal. |

The problem with that for me is that Hope has to be at least in her mid fifties, based on the presumed ages of Shawn and Claire. I don't care about Hope being 5 or 10 or however many years older than Rafe, but I agree with an earlier poster that I think it should be addressed, especially now in the face of Rafe saying he would like to be a father. It seems obvious that Hope's child bearing years are behind her, and that's something that should be addressed. |

Sure, SORASing screws up everything. If we are going to go that way, then Sami has to at least in her mid-late forties based on Will and Arianna's ages. So, again, if Rafe were slightly older than Sami, he could easily be slightly younger than Hope. And I thought they did address Rafe's comment when he said he knew it wasn't likely that he'd be a father. Everybody jumped on it as some kind of foreshadowing, which it might be. But it could also be an acknowledgment that he's with Hope and she's not having any more kids. Or even that he's past the age where kids are a realistic option. |

Well, I know I'm invoking real life here and I'm aware it certainly doesn't affect Days writing, but I think his desire for kids would be addressed by Hope, probably in the context of 'can you really be happy without them?' It may still happen. |

The average age for menopause is 51 so Gran Hope should be too old to have a baby. Maybe Rope's after prison story will explore using a surrogate . :blulaugh: |

Rafe & Hope should have a baby, but it may not be possible. I think Rafe will cheat on Hope or he will break things off from her and move on to a hot chick...like Nicole. |

The age gaps/ SORAs, timelines, everything on DAYS is a bit messed up. I've never been a big Bold and the Beautiful fan but I will say that they've always handled SORAS better than any of the other soaps I watch like General Hospital, Days of Our Lives or The Young and the Restless. Suddenly Sami, Eric, EJ, Brady and Belle are all around the same age group!!? It's mind-boggling!! Kristen was in her 30s when Brady was a toddler and that was never mentioned when they were sleeping together and planning a wedding. Austin is older than Billie who dated and married 30-something Bo Brady, and still managed to date a 17-18 year old Carrie Brady, and later got involved with an even younger Sami Brady who is at least 4 years or so younger than Carrie. And let's not forget that Marlena was always very strict about her daughters not dating anyone over 18 while they were still underage. And let's not forget Dr. Marlena Evans Black who according to her tombstone from 2004 was born October 7th 1956 :roflol: so she graduated med school at 16?

I hope the fire doesn't ruin Kayla's outfit. It can take Marlena's, though. |
