BLAIR's suitors

[valentina warner]

I'm sure that question has been asked before, but has anyone noticed how OLD most of BLAIR's dates/boyfriends seemed to be in the earlier seasons?

For instance In season 1: BLAIR was 15 and the delivery boy 18/19?

Season 2: BLAIR was 16 and HARRISON looked like he was almost 20 years old (and he was supposed to be her childhood friend????)

Season 3: BLAIR was 17 and HENRY the 3 d look like he was about 22!

Season 4 gets worse: BLAIR is in her late teens and CHAD was almost 30 years of age? (he certainly doesn't look like a high school kid!)

and season 5: BLAIR is in college and CLIFF looks like a 30 year old man and it's supposedly in college too? No way! (he looked more like his uncle hee hee!)

Finally by season 6, things go back to normal and BLAIR's dates look about the same age as her: BLAIR was 20 and BEN maybe 22/23 so it was believable he was still in college.
And all the other college dates she has, look round her same age....

Comments anyone?

Greg Bradford who played Steve the delivery boy in Season 1 was 24/25 in real life. The same for the Duane Ladage who played Jason Hoss Blair's boyfriend/acting partner for the play in the episode Emily Dickinson.

Steve the Delivery Boy (Greg Bradford) was 24 in the episodes he was taped in.

Harrison (Grant Wilson) was, get this 26 when this was filmed.

Chad (Gary Hudson) was 26 at filming.

Cliff (Woody Brown) was 27 at filming. But he was a medical student at the time so he would be older than Blair.

The guy who played Neal in Sex Symbol (where Mindy was 14) and he was 25 said they used older actors to get around the child labor laws.

The actress who played Margo was almost 20. The actresses who played Miko and Homerun Helen were over 18 at the time of filming. However, the girl who played the prostitute trying to recruit Tootie was just 14 at the time of filming.

MIKO looked no older than 14, but i guess Asian people ALWAYS look younger! (i'v seen them getting asked for ID when buying alcohol in supermarkets or tourist places, and most of the time they're over 20!!!!)

The actor who played Ben was 26 when he filmed the GWTW episode so he was 6 years older than 20 year old Blair was and around the same age as the others. So he should go onto your list along with the other old fogies.

BTW does Blair date anyone in season 9 or is she too much of a POD?

BLAIR will ALWAYS date someone: in season 9 it's the SOCIAL WORKER who works with JO!!!

PS: BEN is way too hot to go in the old fogies list!

Blair dates a Social Worker?! Wow. It seems so.....beneath her! I'm shocked.
