EE - Elaine (poss spoilers)
Do you think it's wrong that a woman in her fifties/sixties is dating a guy young enough to be her son?
Why do you think Jase (her toy boys name apparently) is going out with her? Will it be because she has her own business? Or do you think there will be more to it than that? I know the scenes haven't aired yet, but generally women have a harder time when they date someone younger so I was wondering what people's thoughts on the matter are. Personally I dont think it really matters, sure someone in their seventies dating someone in their twenties would be weird. But with Elaine, I think she's entitled to a bit of fun and I could totally see why she would be attracted to someone older. |

Personally I think theres nothing wrong at all with an older woman dating a younger man or vice versa (Provided we're talking still talking about adults)

I think Elaine is spot on young man is great
I am in a relationship with a fair sized age-gap and it has worked well for seven years. I am 42 my b/f has just turned 28 and it works well for us. It doesn't work always but as long as it's consensual adults in their twenties or older then it's nobody else's business

I don't see an issue to be honest. It's not like he is 16, then perhaps it would be a bit weird.

I think it's fine as long as they don't reveal that Jase is using Elaine for her money or something

*shrug* As long as everyone is of age and consenting, I don't see the problem with any kind of romantic/sexual relationship.
But I think you're right, Scrabbler, in that we'll find that Jase is involved with Elaine for some less than honorable reason. |

Age gaps don't matter. i am dreading the scenes because I cannot stand Elaine.
I large age gap is between my grandparents and my friends parents. It works for some. Personally a large age gap doesn't appeal to me as I wpuld prefer to be in a similiar age range to my partner. We All have tastes and some people like large age gaps. As long as the people in such are happy, thats all that matters at the end of the day

Another reason I am happy with the story line is that the toyboy is Scott Neal

I can't take it seriously because I suspect he's just using her. Denise and Arthur, on the other hand, really worked. I think they were good for each other.

I think age gaps are workable but the one you gave 70/25 is ridiculous that's a money thing IMO. Thanks

What sort of bloke is into decrepit interfering old bags that molest their son-in-law? Sounds like a bit of a deviant if you ask me.

BIB - If Mick was like every other bloke on the Square there's no doubt the first woman he'd jump into bed with is his future mother-in-law. That's full-on French kissing and he slapped her bum at least once. Grant slept with Tiffany's mum Louise in the late 90s and Phil had an affair with auntie Glenda. |

10 or 15 years is reasonable, what I can't stand is aging rock stars 70+ years old with 20 something blondes on their arm. It sickens me, of course if Dh were to kick his clogs, I'd have no problem going out with a younger man, the problem Is, they probably not Interested in me
No probems with any of you with younger partners. Go for it. as long as the younger one is not a teen.

I like Scott Neal but this sounds a rather short lived role and more of a plot device rather than a long term thing. I guess older-women younger men is all the rage at the minute but for some reason I don't feel it suits Elaine the way it would say Glenda back when she was in it.
This one doesn't bother me like that dreadful Vanessa/Kirin thing in Emmerdale where he hadn't even finished secondary school, that was all types of ewwww. |
