If you want to discuss bizarre age casting, Marilyn McIntyre, the second actress to play Jo Johnson Scofield (Steve, Jack and Adrienne's mother) is actually 5 years younger that Stephen Nichols who played her son Steve!
Not from my "Days" research. I have Marilyn McIntyre born May 23, 1949, and Stephen Nichols born February 19, 1951. I just checked, and IMDB also has 5/23/49.
Jason, I defer to your superior research skills! (Although I was certain I had seen this referred to in a Matt Ashford interview once)

This debate over CS & KDP's ages regarding Shane being Eve's father reminds me of how (legend has it. I can't find confirmation), on ATWT, at one point Dan Stewart was played by an actor (John Colenback) who was actually OLDER than Patricia Bruder who played his mother Ellen. Even closer to home, Susan Seaforth Hayes was only 7 years older than Richard Guthrie who played her son, David Banning.
Peggy McCay is only 11 years older than Josh Taylor.
Josh Taylor was born in 1943 and Peggy McCay was born in 1927, so she's more than 15 years older than him.

It's not too hard. Anyone can do it. PeopleFinders has a search-by-date feature, and Ancestry has the California and Texas Birth Databases (as well as a few smaller states), so that takes care of any actors born in those two big states. You just have to know which sites are the most accurate, and I've found those two to be usually 90% accurate.

Marilyn R. McIntyre, born 05/23/1949.
Stephen E. Nichols, born 02/19/1951.

The one fault with PeopleFinders is it seems if they don't have correct birthday data for someone, the person gets assigned September 1 and a random year for their birthday, so those would be the ones that are usually in error. But, since I know that, then anyone who is listed with a September 1 birthday, I don't usually rely on PF for that info.

Of course, as more years get added, one of the best records are the US census, which can't be released until 72 years afterwards, so 1940 just got released a few years ago, so that can help confirm pretty accurately anyone's age who was alive as of April 1940. We have to wait 8 more years, but then 1950 US census will be released, and then more age mysteries will be cleared up eventually.

If you've yet to visit my 1940 census "Days" page, you can see all the gems I've found. One cool thing was finding out Frances Reid lived with the famous author Horton Foote back in 1940.

Also, Mac Carey was quite hard to find...took a little investigating, but they ended up having switched his first and last names, and lots of mis-spellings...they have him listed as first name: Carry last name: McDonald...I had to find a fun way to figure him out, so the search terms I narrowed down to use were: males, born in Iowa, 1913, and searched New York since he was already acting by then, and voila...Carry McDonald was found. :)

Here are the two pages of 1940 census images:
http://www.jason47.com/days/1940census.html
http://www.jason47.com/days/1940census2.html

And here's Peggy McCay's 1940 census, which finally confirmed her year of birth as 1927...

When they (poorly) recast Jed Allen as Edward Quartermaine on GH (when John Ingle took off to play Mickey, natch), he was playing father to Stuart Damon's Alan Quartermaine. Stuart is only two years younger than Jed Allen is.

I believe that Tonya Boyd was only like 7 years older than Renee Jones. I don't think it was that noticeable at all.

Yeah, I don't think real-life age matters at all because some people look 10 years older or younger than they actually are. Either two people look believable as an on-screen parent-child relationship or they don't. Their actual age doesn't change that.

The age difference really is just a number. Think about Deidre and Ali; age-wise they're a realistic match but Deidre's face is pretty much wrinkle-free thanks to all the plastic surgery, whereas Ali has lots of lines. Of course Deidre's hands / decollete area give away the truth about her age but still.. One of the reasons why I wish actors and actresses would just age naturally.

Yeah, but in all fairness, when Terrell Ransom is 35 (and if by some miracle Days is still on the air), Renee will still look like she's 30 when she appears as a ghost to help Theo thru whatever contrived problem the writers have concocted for him.

That's not what IMDB says :shrug:

JT and PM look the same age.

I wish Deidre hadn't had so much work done though. I don't feel like her face is as expressive as it used to be.

That said, Ali does not have a ton of wrinkles. I hope she never gets work done or if she does, just whatever KA does and no more.

I thought about DH and her botox/surgery when she was listening to Sami and Kate. No expression, just a dumb stare. Since I'm fairly new to Days I wish I had watched the show years ago when DH was such a daytime star. It seems sad to me that she has ruined her talent this way.

I wish actresses wouldn't give in to it all to look younger. It makes them look much worse IMO.

To be fair, Lauren Koslow is the queen of plastic surgery/botox on Days. It doesn't hurt her character quite as much though since her job is to be snarky and in general doesn't have to emote beyond that.

Wasn't the actor who played Ridge Forrester only 10-years younger than the guy who played his father?

My college roomate loved B&B and she occasionally used to mention that.
Actually, Ronn Moss (ex-Ridge) is only about 8 years younger than John McCook (Eric). I remember reading about how when B&B first started, they had to gray his hair to make him look older because he still looked too young to be Ridge's father (it had only been about 7 years since he'd been a major star/leading man/hearttrob) on Y&R as Lance Prentiss. When B&B started, McCook wasn't even 43! I also read about how they used to gray Charita Bauer's hair & dress her older on GL in the 60s/70s once they aged Mike & Ed to adults because she wasn't old enough to have grown children yet. Once upon a time, soap actors actually let you make them look older for a part. Anymore, it seems to me as if nearly all of them just want to "play pretty & young" no matter how old they are or how old their characters are supposed to be.
Wow! I guess, if people bought Ridge and Eric as father and son, then they won't have any problem with Eve and Shane as father/daughter.
Guy Wilson is 28 and Alison Sweeney is 37. GH has at least three parent/child pairs where the actors are less than 10 years apart in age.

Oh its quite obvious lauren has had face surgery. I have nothing against makeup and facial creams to hide flaws/ make you look younger but surgery is a form of abuse of your skin in my opinion.

Just look at the cat lady. :shame:

I know we discussed this last week and it was assumed that it was taken last week, but some people at FL noticed that the girls were wearing the same outfits they wore around the time of Ali Sweeney's last day, when they thanked FL for their gift cards. I guess the jury's still out on whether Ali stays with Lucas or leaves with her mom.
