According to Kathy's backstory:

Born in 1950
Had first child in 1964 (Age 14, Donna)
Married Pete in 1968 (Age 18)
Gave birth to Ben in 1996 (age 46 - her age was used as a heavy plot point here)
Presumed Dead in a car crash at age 56 in 2006.
She'll be 65 this year


If she wasnt already well known Taylforth could pass for about 45 😄

    You're right. It'll be odd to see her in scenes with Ian. He looks older than her!

    They can dress Kathy down. 65 isn't that old anymore though, and you don't have to look like an old granny of you won't want to anymore.

    Maybe they'll just retcon her to 60. Wouldn't bother me, needs to be done sometimes.

    Wasn't she only 16 when she had Ian, I read that somewhere.

    I expect they might tweek her age or not even mention it.

    If they did that then the Ee time line would mean she would have given birth to Donna at 9 and been married at age 13?

    It looked like she was still wearing her original beige coat and blue faded jeans!

    She's hardly changed since 1985!

    I thought Ian was 16 when it started. IF Kathy was 16 when she had him then she'd be 61, turning 62 this year

    They don't really need to ever mention her age do they?

    But she was raped and had a daughter four years before her wedding. She can't be as young as 62.

    Well we don't know where Kathy has been all these years for all we know she could have been living with a rich man pushing her in to surgery, no need to retcon anything, these things happen in real life where parent and child look like siblings

    She left Hollyoaks because she knew she was coming home.

    We have her back. Let's not bring it down. She could have come back anyway, shape or form and it's be just as exciting.
