No. I thought Chad was supposed to be around Will's age. Sonny is supposed to be about Theresa's age. And I guess Abby's somewhere in the middle these days. I wish TPTB would stop micro-SORASing the young adults simply due to recasts. It's becoming almost impossible to figure out who's supposed to be what age. All the characters' ages are becoming a jumbled mess. It's almost like we should just say that they're somewhere between 20 & 30 and leave it at that (with JJ, Paige, Bev, & Rory being 18 or 19, since they're graduating high school). |

Chad is a few years older than Will. When Kate found his birth certificate in 2010, his birth year was revealed to be 1990, making him 20 years old at the time. Will and Gabi graduated high school in 2011, so if we assume that they were 18 when they graduated, they were 17 when Chad was revealed to be a DiMera. Therefore, Chad should be about three years older than Will and Gabi. Age is such a ridiculous topic when it comes to Days, lol. There's no sense in even trying to figure it out, because half the time it just results in a headache! :drunk: |

Right, but Chad is still closer to Will's age than Sonny's. And while Abby should be closer to Sonny's age, she's probably closer to Will's since TPTB decided that no time had passed between when we last saw Abby and when we saw her again 5 (or so) years later. lol. I don't remember it ever being this confusing trying to figure out who was what age (or at least who was older/younger) when it comes to the younger crowd. In the 80s, we knew that Bo was older than Hope who was older than Melissa who was older than Jen. There was no confusion about that. And in the 2000s, we knew that Brady was a bit older than Shawn/Belle/Mimi/Phillip, who were all the same age, and a few years older than Abby/Chelsea (and Steph/Max/Nick found themselves between Abby/Chelsea & Shawn/Belle/Mimi/Phillip). |

I didn't realize Sonny was supposed to so much older than Will? Chad was always at least a year older than Will. He was a grade ahead of him and then he found out he was actually a year older than that. |

But we've never been given an actual age for Sonny. We only know that he was born in 1991. Will was born on screen in 1995 but his latest age mention a couple weeks ago puts him "over 21" even though he's only supposed to be 19. At this point I put Will around 21, Sonny and Chad to be 23-25. Of course these are my own stupid specs that mean absolutely nothing especially because once you're put in the "over 21 but younger than 30" group, your age typically isn't going to be a factor in your storylines anyway. A couple years or so kind of a fluctuation isn't that big of a deal, imo. Besides, going by birth years, isn't EJ supposed to be younger than Will? :rolleyes: |

Wait a minute, it is intended that this actor will fulfill the same function as JS did in the show? My guess is that this is the new CHAD, but everything must surely match, topnotch writing and a charismatic actor for it to be a hit. From the pictures to judge, he has an expressive face and that is always a plus. It remains to be seen what he can bring on stage. |

Yes he has similar traits as Barry/Aiden aka Revenge and if he is half as good actor like him, it's always a plus. |

Yes. EJ was born 17 years ago, in February 1997. There are video clips of Susan trying to marry John, when EJ was an infant and Will was a toddler. Edited by nananana7, Jun 9 2014, 05:41 AM.

I'm surprised someone said he's too young to be Shawn. I don't think he is Shawn, but to me, he looks like he's in the right age range, although the coloring of the pictures might make him look older. To me, he looks a lot like GW. |

It's probably NuChad, but I can also see him as Shawn-D |

Melissa was born 2-3 years earlier than Hope so making Hope older was a rewrite as well even back then. This guy is good looking but he's 29 with very little acting experience? Not very promising. |

Wait, he's 29? No wonder he looks too old to be Chad and old enough to be Shawn. If he is Chad, I wish Days had waited a few more years before casting someone that old. |

Friends were on set a few weeks ago and saw him. They were pretty sure he was the new Chad, based on what they saw being taped. |

Funny how when I went to look at all the Days references on instagram, they're not there anymore. Typical Days, so yes, he's nuChad. I personally think he looks a bit mature compared to Chad when he left the canvas just a few months back, but I'll wait until I see him on screen.

I think if the Fletcher casting call was really for a Chad recast, then we're going to get a more mature Chad who is more into DE and more of a DiMera. |

Well, Casey is 27. +2 years is not a big deal. And I definitely wouldn't say that 29 is "that old" ;) . Edited by thepadange, Jun 9 2014, 09:51 AM.
