But why would it surprise anyone if Hope is over 55? Kristian Alfonso will
be 55 this year, and I think many people would say she looks her age.
On the other hand, the actress who plays Claire (Olivia Rose Keegan) is only
18, and the character both looks and acts 18. If they decide to make her
21, that would be a stretch. It would also have a ripple effect on Belle,
Sami and Marlena that would really push Marlena's age up. So Claire ought
to stay around 18 right now.
We've seen numerous examples of actors on Days playing characters either
older or younger than their actual ages (Eric Martsolf and Kassie de Paiva
are both good examples). But I personally think both Kristian and Rose seem
to be playing their age.
