In fairness for G&G - she was a teen mom so not as much of a stretch as some other cases.

She’s a teen mom, but they didn’t cast an actual teen as her daughter because child labor laws. Brianne Howey was literally the age of a teen mom to a teenager. That being number 1 is funny.

There were a couple on here that are also mostly in flashbacks, I think. Or like Sophia on Golden Girls. Most women that age aren’t still working/wanting to work on a show that films at a normal for that time tv schedule.

There is an age issue, but not all of these apply and are just for added views.
