Same for the EastEnders thread on the same subject, here is my guesstimate for characters ages that were never said to my knowledge.
Matt Skilbeck. I guess he was born in about 1945. He is several years younger than actor Frederick Pyne born 1937. I think scripts have hinted towards a 1944/1945 birthdate for Matt. In 1986 Annie said she knew Matt for 25 years, and in 1978 Matt said he first worked for the Suggies when he was 16. Meaning he was 41 in 1986. Graham Foster. I estimate he is about 48-50. Bear Wolf. He must be 70 at least if he was a wrestler in 1968. Caroline Bates. I guess in 1984 when she first started working for Alan Turner she was 45. Harry Mowlam. In 1986 I guess he was 55-59. Pierce Harris. About the same age as Graham Foster.

Who is the oldest current character CAEF? Is it Pearl? She must be in her 80`s now...same as the actress.
Couldn't stand Caroline Bates. I didn't like her as Norma Ford in Corrie either. She has such a monotone way of speaking without hardly any emotion that is very off putting.

I think Pearl is the oldest character. She was born in March 1938 so is 81.

Meg Johnson is 82, Pearl was 81 last birthday. Hard to believe she’s been in the show 16 years!
Meg is a bit of a soap legend in my eyes as she’s worked 3 soaps; Corrie, Brookie and ED.
Good shout at Matt Skilbeck, I always suspected he was slightly older than Jack and Joe so it would have made sense for him to have been brought in to work on the Farm as Jacob’s alcoholism would have left him almost useless.

One website said Matt was born in 1948. No way is he that young. Matt was about 2 or 3 years older than Jack born in 1947.
Matt married Peggy in 1965, so he must have been 20 or 21 then. I guess Matt was the same age as Lawrence White. Maybe a year younger. As Lozza lived in Beckindale and knew the Verney's he may have known Matt Skilbeck.

Precisely. If they had all been around the same age then they wouldn’t have hired him to work on the farm!
My money would be on him joining the farm in the mid 60s as a 19-21 year old labourer, maybe at the same time Jack goes away. He works on the farm helping Annie to keep it going and catches the eye of young Peggy, marrying her in 1968.

Yes I'd place Matt as being the same age as Eric Pollard who was born in 1945. One of Matt's best storylines was when he was wrongly accused of murder of Harry Mowlam. But Mowlam was such an asshole and a criminal so Matt would not have done very long even if he killed him. I doubt Mowlam's real killer Derek Warner did very long for the killing.

Not sure how old Pryia is supposed to be but was surprised the actress who plays her is 41.

I think Priya is 32, born 1986. Played by an actress 8 years older. Fiona Wade looks younger.
I say Rishi is about 69/70 as he wed WPC June Auckland in 1972 he said.

I'm more interested in knowing what age the women's tits are on Emmerdale. Here's my educated guesstimates ... UNDER 3 YEARS OLD & COSTAPACKET - Priya, R-Belle, Debs, Tracehh, Victoria, Leyla AGED 5 OR MORE & BEGINNING TO LEAK - Chas, Megan, Bernice, Vanessa AS OLD AS THE PERSON THEY ARE ATTACHED TO - Myra, Lydia, Rhona, Maurel, Kim, Moira, Nicola, Brenda, Frank Gallagher, Jessie, Dawn, Manfred, Lisa, Charity, WorKerry, Diane, Pearl, Amy, Jimmy's moobs EXCLUDED - Faith (doesn't have any), Matty (didn't want any) Now I'm going to put some serious thought into who, and who disnae have pubes.
