8 TV Show Characters Aged Fast (Seriously, What Happened?)

One episode they’re in diapers, the next they’re quoting Reagan. From Andy Keaton on Family Ties to Nicky Banks on Fresh Prince, TV has a long, hilarious history of hitting the fast-forward button on childhood. It's called SORAS—Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome—and sitcoms like Boy Meets World, Growing Pains, and Full House were just as guilty as the soaps. Whether it was Chrissy Seaver skipping preschool or Morgan Matthews aging mid-season, these kids didn’t grow up—they leveled up.

And nobody leveled up harder than Victor Newman’s kids. Both Nick and Victoria went from cuddly props to full-blown soap royalty in record time. Meanwhile, Nicky Banks aged so fast even Fresh Prince had to break the fourth wall about it.
