The huge age gaps between the characters on Ginny and Georgia, and the actors who play them

When do we accept this lot can longer pass as school kids?


Ginny and Georgia is back, Peaches! It’s been a huge two and a half years since we last had the show in our lives. That has meant the child and teenage cast have grown up a lot, meaning many of the Ginny and Georgia cast members have real life ages that are completely different to the characters they portray.

As it stands, we have actors well over 10 years older than their characters. They’re nearly 30, and trying to tell us they’re 15, and learning to how to navigate school and awkward relationships. Sure!

Here are the ages of the cast of Ginny and Georgia, compared to the characters they play in the show.
