Jane Danson- She looks like she is about 45
Clare King- She looks like she is at least 65 and I honestly think she is lying about her age.
Anthony Quinlan- He looks like he's 40
Danny Miller- Always thought he looked older I would put him in his early to mid 30's
I can't remember her name but the girl that plays Steph on Corrie looks way older than 21, she looks like she is 30.
Yeah I agree about Steph as the character acts like such a matronly madam and not a young woman.

I agree with you about Eileen but there are quite a few mentioned in this thread who don't look their age.
There are a few but I dunno she looks early 40s to me and looks great these days, sometimes we see things differently

Now she really does look her age, or even older! Same with Babe.
The thing is, many actors do have work done, because they are in the public eye and high definition tv is not kind to ageing faces. Therefore it can be hard to work out out if they look their age, or not. A sharp jawline, and absence of double chin, hooded eyes and eye bags is suspicious over 50!, though some on here on similar threads, claim to not have so much as a wrinkle at 60, and no work done! Hmmmm!
Not so much the character actors , of course, who rely on their looks for specific roles.
Laila Morse really does look her age but I was just saying that Derek's (83) on-screen mother in law is younger than him.

The ages of Charlie and Mo have always been a strange one. In 2000 at the time of casting the Slater family the Lynne, Kat and Little Mo actresses were in their early 30s. They then cast 67 year old Derek Martin as Charlie and 55 year old Laila Morse as their grandmother Mo. She was barely enough to play the girls mother never mind their grandmother and more than a decade younger than her onscreen son-in-law. It would have made more sense to have made Charlie and Mo husband and wife or Mo Charlie's sister or sister-in-law.
And the ages of the Daughters like you say - the youngest (not including Zoe) 2-/ Little Mo and she was infact played by the second oldest Actress. The youngest actress was in fact Belinda when she was played by first Actress.

Elaine Lordan is 49 turns 50 in couple of Months.
Jessie Wallace is 45
Leanne Lakey is 37 / Carli Norris is 42
Kacey Ainsworth is 48!!!

There are quite a few in soaps that were ex Waterloo Road actors which required up to about 10 years being knocked off their real age.

Emma in Emmerdale looks much younger than she is and far too young to be mum to the Barton boys, especially Pete!

Yeah particularly her and Pete, it looks like there are only a couple of years between them at times.

Steve McFadden will be 60 in another 3 years which is quite scary, Ross Kemp is 52 which I find quite shocking as well.

I thought Andy was meant to be a bit younger than that myself, like mid-late 20s. I knew Steph would be similar ages to her actress as she came as Katy's annoying school friend originally.

Really, that's quite a big age gap.

Yeah, I meant Oliver Farnworth is 34 and Tisha Merry is 23. I though that's what this thread is about?

It is about actors ages that shock you but you put the actors as the characters so I was just checking if you meant the actors ages as opposed to being shocked st the character ages

Agreed, she looks more like their slightly older sister, she has hardly aged since she was in Brookside almost 30 years ago.
