I was reading up on some of the history of the show today at a great website (http://www.allsoapscoops.com) and noticed that there have been a lot of births and miscarriages on this show, almost every year! I’ve always been irritated by how this show has children go away (usually to Europe) and come back as teenagers or adults, whichever is convenient. How old are they REALLY? I did some research, and this is what I found out:
Victoria Newman: born in 1983. Current Real Age: 24.
Nicholas Newman: born in 1989. Current Real Age: 18!
Noah Newman: born in 1997. Current Real Age: 10. Until they decide to send him to Switzerland.
Lily Winters: born in 1995. Current Real Age: 12.
Daniel Romalotti: born in 1994. Current Real Age: 13. Aw, they really are two young kids in love.
Colleen Carlton: born in 1992. Current Real Age: 15. Wow, that professor really IS robbing the cradle!
Victor Newman, Jr.: born in 1995. Current Real Age: 12. He’s a bit young to be running around the world like that!
Philip Chancellor III: born in 1976. Wow, he’s 31. That actually makes sense!
Phillip Chancellor IV: born in 1993. Real Age: 14. Where are you, Little Phillip?
I know that soap opera time is not relevant to reality, but this stuff never fails to amuse me.
For all of you vintage Y&R fans, a rare treat: this is the opening from the first episode of Y&R in 1973! Enjoy!
