B&B Fans: Ashley is old enough to be Phoebe's momma?

Question

Teresa you wanted to know this. The lady who plays Ashley, Eileen Davidson started on Y & R in 1982 at the age of 23. Her birthday is actually today. She was born June 15, 1959 so that makes her 48 right? If Phoebe is only 18 or 19 that's why she considers Ashley a mother figure and is telling her all this info about Rick.

Teresa she was an adult in 1982 when she returned home from college to find Jill putting the moves on her father. If that doesn't explain her age nothing will. Soaps age characters not unage them. I've never seen a soap were they've unaged a person. So it looks like her age in real life is around the same as on the show.

Answer 1

I believe that the character of Ashley is actually older than Brooke.

These storylines make me sick....

Answer 2

I didn't know that she was that old. she doesn't look bad either.. Phoebe is suppose to be playing that dumb young inexperienced role that is why she is acting like that. I also though earlier when ashley first came Phoebe had her suspicions about Ahsley and Rick so i am still confused as to why she would confide in her. she would come out more better going to Brooke. There aren't very many characters on Bold and the Beautiful and she has no friends they don't even show her twin sister Steffy either when originally there were triplets..

Answer 3

Yes she is old enough to be a grand mother also.

Answer 4

Yeah but how old is she suppose to be on the show? Or is that how old she is suppose to be on the show too?

Answer 5

yes she is it's ridiculous that's she's competing with a teenager for a man. shame on her
