I'm sure this topic has already been WELL covered, but I just tuned back into BB after a six month break so this was news to me.

I thought it was bad enough that 46-50 year old Brooke was donating eggs a couple of years ago, but this one takes the cake. 

 Okay, Nick looks every bit of middle to upper 40s.  If his character is supposed to be younger than that, they shouldn't have casted Jack Wagner in the part. Jackie is his mother....even though they look the same age and on some days he even looks older than her.  That's enough of a suspension of belief, but whatever....So if Jackie gave birth to Nick, even as a very young mother (say 16 or so), that would still put her in her early to mid-sixties at the very least.

Suspension of belief is one thing, eg. Brooke still giving birth and donating eggs with 2 30-something kids, but this business with Jackie is totally OUT THERE.  JMO.

Jackie is NOT having a baby herself. Owen wants to hire a surrogate mother so he and Jackie can have a baby that is biologically his. Jackie is too old to raise a baby. Owen is an idiot, he wants a 65 to 70 y/o woman to raise a child. She will probably be dead before the kid is out of it's teens.

  • That whole scene was just ridiculous, that is the conversation you are suppose to have before you get married. If Owen wanted to have kids he should have thought about it before he started an affair with a woman old enough to be his mother. What makes that dullard think that a woman Jackie's age would want to be bothered with a child at this point in her life?....psychdiva
  • the couple discussed it before the wedding. Owen said he didn't want kids - only Jackie. Now he's changing his mind and expecting her to just go along with it.
  • He is 'changing his mind' so they can wretch more stupid drama out of this for the steffy storyline-what kills me is that Steffie is a young lady that should have friends and go out with them-she could easily meet someone her new but instead they always have them sharing the same people around. We don't even need to see her on canvas right now-back burner her and move a long! -Outside

    I have to agree. I think LAD looks HOT but she is still Nick's Mom, making her at least 60.

    The whole thing is absolutely stupid!  Nick is every bit of 40 years old.  His mother has to be at least 60.  And she's supposed to just pop out a baby for him?  Preposterous!!

    Somebody handed Brad Bell an Emmy and he thinks these types of stories are captivating.

  • I couldn't believe my ears today, when I tuned in to hear about Jackie being pregnant. I think Brad Bell has a problem with portraying woman entering into their middle age years! His obsessive idea of pushing off Brooke as the everlasting sexual nymh and the goddess of fertility has always bugged me. Now he's starting in on Jackie. I've never really been clear on how old Nick is supposed to be, but Jack Wagner is pushing 50 easily. If Jackie actually gives birth, it should make Ripley's Believe it or Not.
  • Jackie has to be in her early 60s and Nick is way closer to 50 than 40. My guess is that Jackie is supposed to be around 62 and Nick about 47, though LAD looks a few years younger and JW looks a good 5 years older. ~i&b
