On last nights episode I was watching while on my I-pad so I may have got this wrong, did Vanessa and Tracey's dad give a Barbie car to Tracey and then steal it back to give to Vanessa instead?

Have the writers forgot how old the character of Vanessa is suppose to be as she had her 39th birthday on the show in 2014, so for this story to be true surely the girls are similar in age so are we supposed to belivie Tracey is late thirties or forty because that is ridiculous. I'm guessing Tracey is 30 at a push which would mean about ten to twelve years between them. So presumably for Tracey to

A) remember this happening

B) be interested in Barbie and Ken ( she wanted the car for their honeymoon) she would have been about eight to ten

So why would their dad steal a Barbie toy car for a woman who is around eighteen or twenty?. I know the story is stupid but they have script editors and continuity staff to stop stupid mistakes like this, surely?

Some people can remember certain things from very early on, especially if it upsets them so much- Tracey remember this because as a child she was devastated to loose this barbie dream car, she could have been as young as 3 or 4?

Vanessa would have been 13 or 14 then if there is about ten years between them, back in the late 80's I don't think it would be unusual for a 13 year old girl to still enjoy her dolls- after all it was different times back then- she was very much still a child.

Another point, you describe Vanessa as 39 and Tracey at 30 and then say this means there is about 10-12 years between them... clearly it's 9 years. And you are only assuming Vanessa would have been around 18/20 years old because you are basing that on the assumption that Tracey was around 10. It's highly unlikely.

Vanessa was 39 in 2014 which makes her 41 now

Tracey was talking ahout wanting the toy so her dolls could have a honeymoon 3 to 4 year olds do not really have this thought process. I also suspec Tracey from looks and behaviours is younger than 30.

I' m the same age as Vanessa and I wasn't t playing with Barbie dolls at that age - and I wasn't t particularly mature. It struck me as odd too. I thought Tracey was mid/ late twenties

If Tracey is a day over 25, I'm Amal Clooney. She looks as though she should still be in sixth form.

How old is the actress?

Amy Walsh was born in 1987 according to the ED wiki. So 28/ 29

Goodness she looks younger than that.

This story is still a bit iffy even with the age gap being less than I thought.

Tracey's birthday was today and David said 'Happy 27th birthday'. This means there's 14 years difference between her and Vanessa and that their dad took the infamous Barbie car off a presumably infant Tracey and gave it to Vanessa when she was 17 - 20 odd years old.
Not very thought through, this one...

Did'nt she say which birthday she got the barbie car for? I am sure she did but dont want to put a figure on and be wrong

But if tracey is 27 and Vanessa 41 and lets say tracey was 10. Why would he be giving a 24yr old a barbie car.

Vanessa did say tonight she was a bit old for it. A bit? More like a lot love!

No, she doesn't

I'm the same age as her and I look ten years younger than she does.
