HOW OLD AM I: OAKDALE EDITION
Everyone is familiar with SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome). But what shall we call the phenomenon of a character actually growing younger? Soap Opera Delayed Aging Syndrome, maybe? SODAS?
Just for fun, here is a list of some ATWT characters, the year they were born on screen, and the (officially listed) year the actor currently playing them was born:
Character: Meg Snyder introduced as a teen in 1986, let's say born @ 1970.
Actor: Marie Wilson born 1974. (If Meg was 12 in 1986, with all the seducing Dusty/pregnancy test switching, she was a very, very precocious 12).
Character: Aaron Snyder born in 1991.
Actor: Agim Kaba born in 1980. (No wonder Craig didn't want daughter Lucy riding on a motorcycle with such a Born To Be Wild ten year old).
Character: Luke Snyder born 1995.
Actor: Van Hansis born 1981. (Luke's on-screen mom, Martha Byrne) was born in 1969; another precocious 12 year old?)
Character: Emily Stewart born in 1972. (On screen daughter Marnie Schulenberg was born in 1982).
Actor: Kelley Hensley born in 1967.
Character: Paul Ryan born in 1977.
Actor: Roger Howarth born in 1968. (No wonder he can keep dying and coming back to life just like dear old dad. He's got a spare nine years lying around).
Character: Tom Hughes born in 1961.
Actor: Scott Holmes born in 1952.
Character: Parker Munson born in 1998.
Actor: Mick Hazen born in 1993.
Character: Rosanna Cabot born in 1973 (as established vis-a-vis Carly's birthdate).
Actor: Cady McClain born in 1969. (On-screen older sis Maura West was born in 1972).
Character: Katie Peretti born in 1989.
Actor: Terri Colombino born in 1975.
Character: Sage Snyder born 2003.
Actor: Allie Gorenc (above) born in 1996.
