LOL Foxy.

Jason and his mam is another pairing the age gap concerns me on. They really shouldn't still be sharing a bed at their ages.

They're almost always just flings, except for of course Emmerdale taking it to the extreme with a teenager and a woman nearing 40. But in most cases they're never relationships.

Soaps aside, I was watching a Tales of the Unexpected episode recently and there was this attractive woman aged about 30, slim, really hot, and she was dating this old guy who looked about 70.

White hair. A wrinkled face. And a neck like a turkey's.

No mention was made that he was old enough to be her grandfather. I think he was trying to act 30 years younger. Seems these roles are given to ageing actors so their egos can be massaged.

But it looks ridiculous on screen.

Marilyn in Home and Away has always had a thing for older blokes. She's currently married to John Palmer who must be 10-15 years older than her and back in the 90s she was married to Donald Fisher. Donald and Marilyn were hugely popular together and were genuinely in love despite a massive age gap of 30 years.

Ken and Diedre.
Dirty Den and Zoe Slater.
Tracey and David (Corrie - or am I making that one up?)
Babe and Jason
Robbie and Wellard - true love that, and Wellard must have been well over 100 by the end!

I came in to post about Donald and Marilyn but you beat me to it! Then when Emily Symons joined Emmerdale, they paired her up with Rodney Blackstock!

This was one of the few where it was an actual relationship and not some fling.

Were Terry and Janine a couple?

I can't remember if they were actually together or if it was a father figure for Janine and surrogate daughter for Terry type thing.


I think kbilly and Janine were together for a while too?
