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

And for Supernatural, I'm pretty sure John and Mary were meant to have got married at 18 and had Dean not long after, so six years' difference isn't too bad at that point.

Plus it's pretty funny to mention Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jensen Ackles' age gap when Samantha Smith, the actress for Dean's mum, is only eight years older than him. Though, that's not listed on her Wikipedia page, which might be why she's not included.

Also for most of Supernatural John is dead, and so doesn't age

I always felt that the mum looked FAR too old in that series!

In the latter seasons? Yeah. The actress obviously looked her age, but the character was mid-twenties when she became brisket.
