Help me understand the ages!
I've been racking my brain for a while and I don't see age ranges anywhere online, admittedly I may not be looking hard enough or paying too close attention to the show so if there's been any better information feel free to let me know.
The below is what I have so far:
- The actor that plays Vernon is 79 so Vernon & Anita being in their mid- to late- 70's is completely plausible.
- Now Tyrell and Samantha are about 18/19 & 17/16 (that's a given).
- June might be in her mid to late 20's; 35 at the most.
- Martin has to be close to 35yrs old to run for president so him and Smitty should be around 34-37 tops?
- Nichole & Ted are very difficult to place (with Martin's age, when they met in relation to their careers and Anita's age) so it's possible that they are somewhere between 55-65.
- Dani and Bill are in their late 40's early 50's?
- We know Dani and Bill were married in their early 20's and there's no reason to think they waited to have Naomi... and Chelsea isn't too far behind her. So, I'd put Chelsea mid 20's like 24-25 and Naomi around 27-29. Same with Jacob.
- Kat is at least 21 since she drinks; I'd say Kat and Eva are about 22-23. I'm pretty sure they are younger than Chelsea.
- Leslie is around late 40's to early 50's?
- For some reason I think Andre is in his early 30's so 35 at the oldest.
- I wouldn't put Shanice older than 37; she just looks really good, 34 at the youngest.
- Hayley is a liar so who knows she could be anywhere between 27-37. I think they age her a lot with makeup and the animal print just feels old on her IMO.
- Randy is late 30's early 40's.
- Joey is probably around late 60's mid 70's.
- Vanessa is & Doug was around late 40's early 50's
- The twins are between 19-21 (I don't recall if they drank or how long they've been in collage 2nd year maybe?).
- Macel is retirement age so at least 65.
- Tomas must be mid 30's.
- Lastly, birds of a feather flock together so the other characters are around the ages of the ones they hang with.
Regarding their careers, not only is this fiction so we have to bend the rules a little, but they are also rich and have access to great educational opportunities, no one has been presented as an underachiever (black excellence and all) so I have no issue with Namoi, specifically, being a Practicing Attorney before 30.
All input is welcome, so any thoughts?
