I'm watching Episode 3 right now. I just have some questions.
How old is everyone supposed to be?
And does Julia's character get any better? Because I can't stand the good girl trying to be bad angle right now, especially with hos flippant she is with her family.
When the series starts, Charlie is age 24, Bailey is age 16, Julia is age 15, Claudia is age 11, and Owen is age 1. Each character develops in their own way. Charlie remains quite naive, egosticial and immature, but slowly matures over time by Season 3 and settles down with their nanny Kirsten in which spannding through Seasons 1-3, they get together, break up, get engaged, break up, get together again, and break up again. Bailey is basically the rebellious one, who tries to move on with life after their parents death and finds in in dating other women, but does not seem to make a commitment. Julia is the one who has the most trouble dealing with their parents death and rebels trying to be a bad girl through most of the series. Claudia slowly matures as well, while she herself tries to be a bad girl in Season 2, but realizes that it is not for her.
For some spoilers, read the detailed episode listings in the episode list, and even the memorable quotes that come with some of them.
