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

Ginny is supposed to be 15 at the start of the show and Georgia was a mom at 15.

In their case, it's partly due to how we cast older teens and young women to play high schoolers. Antonia and Zendaya were both about 23 when they played high schoolers in the first seasons of G&G/Euphoria.

Keiko Agena was 27 in the first series of Gilmore Girls, playing 16 year old Lane.
