Characters who are played by ACTORS who are A FEW YEARS YOUNGER IN REAL LIFE
What characters have been played by actors who are younger than their character in real life. So basically, an actor is playing a character who is YOUNGER than their age in real life.

Ruby O'Donnell only became 16 just over a week ago, but her character Peri is a few months older.

I' m not sure if I' m understanding the opening post correctly, but Michael Praed in ED is 56, while his character Frank, is 62. Not a huge difference though.

![]() I can identify with some of what she has had to act. Without going into much detail, I have had a lot of family disloyalty, while Peri has often been lied to, or had big secrets kept, in a misguided attempt to protect her from awkward truths that could hurt her.

Gillian Taylforth in eastenders is 5 years younger than her character Kathy Beale. Gillian is 61 the character of Kathy is 66. However Gillian does not look her age at all and could be mistaken for being 10-20 years younger than she actually is. Its weird to think her character is a pensioner and Ian Beale's mother considering her youthful appearance.

I dont get how people dont understand this thread
the only person I can think of it the person who plays Perri like stated before, here in the uk actors rarely play characters who are a lot older than there real age unlike in the US where they had a 15 year old playing a 22 year old on pll

Hmm ins't the actress playing Audrey Roberts in CS younger than her character? I remember reading somewhere that she and her on screen daughter (Gail) are really close in age in real life so one of them must be playing older or the other playing younger?!

Yes there's just over 7 years between the two actresses. Sue Nicholls who plays Audrey was born in November 1943 and Helen Worth who plays Gail was born at the beginning of 1951. So Sue will turn 73 this month and Helen will turn 66 in January.

I dont know if we've been told how old Kerry is in EM but youd think she must be older than early thirties which the acress is given Amy's age.
Thetes been wuite a few in Holby over the years. Luke Roberts, Tom Chambers, Duncan Pow, Patricia Potter and Rosie Marcel were sll about 28 when hired whereas their characters would have had to have been early to mid thirties doe to either being Consultants or applyinf to be one - its impossibke to qualify as one until 32 due to the number of years you need to be in each grade before you can.move up. We wete also told a couple of their ages which were older or they had teenaged children. Theres been a lot in american soaps. Robin Wright was only 18 when she started Santa Barbara and the character must have been at least 22 as she'd been engaged 5 years perviously. Stephanie Beacham and Katharine Ross were both younger than their characters Sable and Frankie in The Colbys. |

Not much of an age difference but Zoe Slater is two months older than Michelle Ryan who played her as Zoe Slater was born on the 1st of February 1984 and Michelle Ryan was born on the 22nd of April 1984.

What about Ellen Thomas who played Claudette in EE, in real life she's only 52!
![]() Yet she was put in the same category as OAP's like Patrick and Dot, and was supposed to have been around in the 1960's, and had something going with Eric Mitchell
