How close are M&M in age? Within a year and a half it seems? When Mel first came on the scene – she was hanging around in a disco bar, Cheatin’ Heart and such – granted being raised in Europe, their drinking age is 18… So it seemed then she was just a bit older…then but then if the writer’s came up with this idea after the fact and decided to make her a bit younger for the story line – she’d be closer to Mia’s age. If Carly hadn’t seen her child since birth (or a little after), like several have said, perhaps Carly is only guessing herself. I got the feeling that the writer’s are just letting us twist and they are going to let who’s her daughter play out for a bit longer and then they’ll play who’s the daddy for awhile.
