You are absolutely right. I missed that line.
But is this the dominant narrative in usa today? Or something a really small number of people agree with?
Not really John Dutton is 64 and Costnet 69, pretty close. You really hate beth dont you? LOL. Beth in the show is born on 84, so she is a 40yo character played by a 47yo woman, it is not such a big age discrepancy either and people dont talk about her like being a kid either. I have no idea how old Summer is supposed to be but people around her talks as she was a child.
I am now in season 4, where summer character is introduced, the actress piper perabo will be 48 in less than 2 months.
So in a conversation with beth which is the same age, beth tells her something along the lines that she is a child that can protest because her parent pay her bills and bail her out. This dialogue would make a lot of sense if Summer was 20 and a college student with no life experience but she an almost 50yo woman. Then she gets arrested and costner talks to beth and tells her, you used that girl, again as if he was talking about a kid.
I am not stupid, I know we see 25-30yo actors playing younger kids in every single movie ever made but this show is taking it too far. Why hire someone who is almost 50 for something that is meant for a naive college student?
I think Beth is supposed to be 36 in season 1, actress was 41 in 2018 and probably 40 when she filmed. 36 and 40 is pretty close. I dont agree she looks 50. Now in 2024 she is 47 maybe but not in season 1. Rip is also beth's age or a year older and the actor also close to 50. But I dont really care with the rest of the cast, in jimmy's case it is really weird with how dumb he is and everyone calling him kid and he looks 50...
Isnt there some official info somewhere? It is a pretty bad casting for someone that is supposed to be that young.
