Paul and nearly all his conquests-haha!

reply

Karl and Sarah right?

reply

Steph and Mark. She looks like his mum!

reply

I think that has been mentioned, possibly relating to her not being able to have kids. Strangely enough, Carla's only actually two years older than Scott, but I think Mark's supposed to be in his 30s?

reply

Carla Bonner is 8 years older than Scott Mcgregor, not sure where you got the 2 years from.

reply

 By googling the wrong Scott (Major, not McGregor) for some unknown reason. Sorry for the confusion. I still don't think she looks like his mum - older sister, maybe.

reply

The other question is, were any of them under 18 at the time as well? Like Piper and Tyler? I do think it's a factor.

reply

I agree, I wish Piper was 18, although I'd still accept it with those 2.

I always thought Annalise was 19. Very interesting that she was 17.

reply

At this point I would, but I honestly think that's why they haven't gone there yet.

I remember her being at school when she was with Lou, but I thought she was 18.

reply

I think so too. It does make a difference, even though it's a bit daft and just a kinda PC thing, but you and I have said this before.

reply

It is very PC and a bit daft, but I think there's a certain amount of censorship on the show, too, and it could be related, but I'm sure I've said that too.

reply

I just wish they'd kept Piper's age timeline accurate and she was now 18.

reply

I wonder if they want to keep her at school a bit longer with the other kids? Also possibly because of the friction with Elly.

reply

I think so too. She is part of the Ben, Xanthe, and Angus gang.

reply

I just feel that's why, and it might have been a way to delay things with Tyler - I really feel like they are meant to be eventually.

reply

Totally. It would be good way for them to leave...Getting married and disappearing off together. I would prefer they stayed and had babies, but I doubt MH will stick around.

🐨Have you ever?...Ever felt like this?🐷

reply

It would, but I'd love them to stick around too. It could happen, if she's more into being in work, but I could see more her returning in a few years honestly.

reply

I really like Piper, but I want MH to become a Hollywood actress, it's a tough contradiction.

🐨Have you ever?...Ever felt like this?🐷

reply

It is. I think I'd take her working on good Australian films and returning as Piper, like they work out for actors when possible, as a compromise.

reply

Agreed.

reply

Another one Elly and Ned.

Lou and Annelise, he was 50 and she was 17.

reply

Rachel was under 18 why with Angus hence him going jail

Rachel was under 18 don't know how old stingray was

reply

Jim Robinson and Zoe Davis in 1986, Lucy hated them being together and tried all sorts of tricks to break them up.

reply

Elly and Ned? There's an age gap to speak of? I mean it's possible he might be a couple of years younger, but that's not really anything to be concerned with.

reply

About 7 years. Not huge, but I think it was mentioned as an example of older female.

reply

Chloe Lambert and Darcy such weird relationship

reply

I wouldn't have thought that but they might not be so far apart in reality either, of course.

reply

Ned is only 21 (can't be any older to fit in with the Paige story-line) while Elly is at least 30 so that's a 9 year gap.

reply

That's kind of weird that no one mentioned it, given people are always talking about Tyler and Piper's age gap. Double standard? Or possibly it's that they're both of majority age?

reply

I think the writers are again being lazy and assuming Ned's age is open to interpretation, when we know he can't be older than 21-22 ( yet they hope they forget this even though they dedicated a year long story-line to Paige's story who is older than Ned given the timeline)... just sloppy writing as usual.

It could be or it could be very sloppy SORAS as well. So many things it could be.
