H&Alover Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Haven't some kids had to retake a year which would explain them being in classes with kids younger than them. Or because of having missed schooling are in classes below their age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I think Roo was 16 when the show started, which would make her 42 or 43 now.I did the maths and yeah, Irene would be 60.Have we ever been given a definitive age for Marilyn?I seem to remember she was said to be about 28 in about 1996, which depending on accuracy would make her 45-47. I remember Marilyn's age being mentioned in 1990 when she went back to school as she was older than the other students obviously at the time. I think she was born around 1968 or 1969. I can't remember exactly but if I saw the episode again it would definitely confirm how old she is today. It was stated that Marilyn was 21 on 24th July 1990, and then stated that she was 22 on 15th July 1992... which would indicate that her birthdate was between 16th-23rd July 1969. But saying that, her birthday was given in 1998 as 29th March. So again, it's pretty much impossible to be certain on anything to draw up a definitive list.

Homeandawayfan. Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Neighbours and H&A have never been hot on character birthdays. Lou Carpenter has celebrated his birthday in April, October and November. I think with some characters the birthdays may tally but with a lot they dont. Helen Daniels was born inbetween 1922 and 1926. In H&A Bobby's DOB has fluctuated inbetween December and March and her year of birth has been either 1969 or 1970. Flynn Saunders and Hayley Smith's birthdays has been quite consistent and Flatheads birthday was only ever mentioned once. Neighbours and H&A have never had archivists, someone to remind the writers of backhistory. The British soaps do have researchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But saying that, her birthday was given in 1998 as 29th March. So again, it's pretty much impossible to be certain on anything to draw up a definitive list. Indeed, so I think it's fair to assume that she's born somewhere between 1968 to 1970 approximately. I just remember the mention of her Birthday from 1990 after watching the Early Years episodes.

Homeandawayfan. Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 It is not very common but not unknown for people to lose track of their age, they may know their DOB but their current age may not compute. I am 32 now but the other day thought I was 31 until I realised. Or Maz may have shaved a year off her age. Some of the inconsistencies could be down to those 2 reasons in some cases although if the continuity of H&A was completely flawless with backstories and birthdays it would not be as interesting.

Homeandawayfan. Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 This is just a suggestion but as the main forum has character middle names and actor birthdays, what about a page for character birthdays. I understand some have not been that consistent but often the year has remained and some bdays have been consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yes it is something that will be added at some point, possibly to profiles too. Perhaps that can be one of the next things to work on once I'm through the current updates I'm doing in the Reference section. Though we'd only use dates that have been stated on screen and we can source the episode as proof, or ones that can be narrowed down to a pretty specific set of dates.

Homeandawayfan. Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 In Episode 38 in March 1988 Floss says Neville is 60 odd, so he was born before March 1928. I guess about 1925. Only known ref I have come across to Neville's age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chels24 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Jack Holden - June 15 1981 Actually Jack was born in 1979, because i remember in 2009 Tony was sad because when Leah had her 30th birthday it remined him that he would never see his son turn 30. And wasn´s John´s 50th birthday in 2011? I have been thinking allot before on the current cast and present and how old they are, here is my guess Ruby Bucton . 1993 Xavier Austin - 1993 Casey Braxton - 1993 Roo Stewart - 1971 Dexter Walker - 1993, i guess 1993 on many of the teens because they all went in same class/year Indi Walker - 1992 seeing as shes suppose to be his older brother April Scott - 1993 Bianca Scott - 1985 Daryl Braxton - 1981 Heath Braxton - 1985 Romeo Smith - 1992 Maddie Osbourne - 1996 Spencer Harrington - 1996 Chris Harrington - 1992 Hannah Macguire - 1981 Zac Macguire - 1978 Ethan Macguire - 1975, he looks like hes far into his 30s Oscar Macguire - 1997 Evelyn Macguire - 1997, they said in 2013 they where soon turning 16 so i assume they turned 16 in late 2013 Jack Holden - 1979, Tony mentioned in 2009 that this year would be Jack´s 30th birthday Kim Hyde - 1989 Rachel Armstrong - 1979, i remember it being a talk about the fact that Kim was 18 while she was 10 years older (While in real life they are only 3 years apart) I think Casey's is 1994 he was a bit younger than the other teens he had his 19th in january last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
