How old is Mary in Corrie meant to be? The actor who plays her is only 40, which surprises me. I'd have placed Mary in her early 50s, but I think that's more to do with the character. I expect the actor looks a lot younger when she's out of character and in her own clothes.

Yes, Mary does look much older than the actress is and i believe the character is meant to be. I was stunned when her age was mentioned a few years ago and it was younger than me as i'd assumed she was perhaps 10 years older!
But i think it is the styling, demeanour and also constantly putting her with Norris and the other older characters. If you actually look at her face, she doesn't have many wrinkles and i think is coming across as younger since she started looking after Dev's kids and mixing with younger characters. Still quite hard to believe she is the same age band as the likes of Michelle, Tracy, Leanne etc though. |

John Middleton who plays Ashley Thomas in Emmerdale will be 63 this year. I think he looks younger than 63! I'm sure his characters age is only 53.

Julie was another one who at first glance looked older than the character was but again that was down to the character's styling which was very aging.

The ones that always shock me on screen are:
Corrie - Cathy Matthews. I can't believe she younger than 65 years old. - Erica Holroyd. That pregnancy storyline..I couldn't believe they were passing her off as being young enough to still get pregnant! - Nick Tilsley...just bad casting all around. I've never been able to buy him being in his mid 30's and the same age as characters the likes of Maria. |

Chesney looks still around 15, he never ages.

Danny Dyer looks older than he is. He's about 40 but looks mid 40's IMO.

Former Eastenders actress Alison Pargeter who played Martin Fowler's stalker Sarah Cairns is actually now 44 year's old, but she looks more like she is in her late 20's or early 30's.
Also Former Eastenders actor John Altman who played Nick Cotton, is actually now 64 year's old, but looks more like mid 50's. |

Izzy looked quite cool when she first arrived she had a quirky style and i liked her pairing with Gary. Now she looks a good 10-15 years older than him.

Ted Reilly is 24 which genuinely shocked me. I think he looks really young for his age, maybe about 19 or at a push 20.

2) Tina o Brian (Sarah Platt)- man, she must be what, 33 in real life? She looks 24, she has really youthful looks and she could easily play a teenager. If she looks this young now, how young would she have looked in her 20s? Agree with the others about Mary looking older than the actress's age of 40 but that is down to her styling and the old fashioned way that she talks The actress who played Julie in Corrie looked older than the character was meant to be but again that was down to styling |

Another one is Lucy Fallon
Bethany looks well weird as Sarah's daughter ok I read that Sarah had Bethany when she was 13 but still... they look more like sistersIMPO Bethany/Lucy is very old looking and even looks older than Sarah/Tina, her onscreen mum! But since Tina has a babyface it probably IS gonna look weird I guess |

Erika on Corrie, I think they said she was 49 but she looks at least 65. I honestly think Claire King (and others) is lying about her age. I've seen old clips from when she was Kim Tate in the 90's and she looked like she was in her 40's back then.
Pete on Emmerdale is another one, I thought he was pushing 40 but I was floored to learn he is the same age as me ![]() Danny Miller also looks older, I would think he's in his early 30's |

I think Barbara Knox looks fantastic for 82, as does Bill Roache. That is how you want to look in your 80s. I also think Samia Ghadie, much like Tina O'Brien, has aged very little over the years.

I think Diane Parish looks younger than 46 (her character of Denise Fox is 47).
