Too big of an age difference between Adam and Nicole

Just don't see it. In real life, Rosanna Arquette is 47 years old while Matthew Davis is 29.

PS They need to bring back Dave's 21 year old girlfriend. Now she was hott!

I think he's supposed to be about Brian's age on the show though, right? Brian is supposed to be 35 is what I had read on a promo for the show. So I think he's supposed to be older than 29 and perhaps Nicole is supposed to be younger than her real age. I don't think she looks her age at all.

I don't think we were supposed to like them as a couple or anything. They both just slept together because they were both really horny and desperate, and they happened to be at the right place and right time together. Plus, neither one of them is horribly unattractive.

I'm pretty sure it will just be what it was ... a one night stand that will cause tension between them.

The age difference is ridiculous though. It has never been addressed. The fact the the two hooked up and there is a 20 year age difference between them deserves some sort of explanation. I am not saying it is bad...it just needs to be explained. Yes, she is hot but she is 15 to 20 years older than the rest of the cast.

I don't think it needs any explanation. I get it. It happened. We all have lapses in judgement. They weren't looking for anything that had meaning. They had a one night stand. Is it any different than hooking up with someone who's got other major flaws like a heroine addict or the designated a**hole of the group? Sure, your friends would say, "Oh my god, I can't believe you slept with that person," but that doesn't mean there's a relationship there. It's called a mistake.

If Brian was 20 and Nicole was pushing 60, then I'd understand what all the fuss is about. But while 20 years is obviously a sizeable difference, the point is that they used each other for one night. I don't see any attraction between these two characters.

Plus, it happened right at the end of the episode, so we haven't even heard what's going to happen next.

I just don't get why Nicole's age is such a big deal for people. Yeah, she's older than the rest of the cast, but so was Angelo. She's Brian's OLDER sister. I know many people who have circles of friends that include the "older" couple. It's nothing out of the ordinary.

NEWSFLASH! People have sex with older people sometimes! Its not like Nicole is a beast. Even if she was 20 years older, SO WHAT?!!! Ashton Kutcher is sleeping with Demi Moore in REAL LIFE. This is a TV show so that makes it even more realistic. Gimme a break people. Adam was so horny he probably would have slept with an 80 year old...

Thank you!

Ashton Kucher and Demi Moores age difference made the news everyday for at least a year. The massive age differnce between the two on this show has not even been addresed!!! It is almost as though the writers/producers want the audience to think that Arquette is in her late twenties or early thirties. They are missing the boat by not capitalizing on the fact that she is a stunning looking woman who is almost 50 that any male would jump at the chance to sleep with!

It doesn't need to be addressed because it's implied that we all know Nicole is quite a bit older. Plus, it was a one night thing. And, they're not celebrities on the show.
