There are times when SORAS is just so downright stupid that you are like "are you kidding me".
One that I can think of off the top of my head is EJ on Days. I remember the whole Susan/Kristen storyline. It was back in like 97-98. EJ has been on the show for like 3-4 years now. The reality is that EJ should only be 11-12 years old. Nope now he is 30+. It was so lame when it came out that he was Elvis Jr. Now, I really don't mind because they have given him some pretty decent storylines, but I mean come on, he's older than Will, who was born in like 96. At least Will is around the correct age.
I can really only think of one character on soaps that they didn't rapidly age and that is Robin on GH. The actress who plays her, has always played her and she grew up on the show.
