To not believe that she is 38?!

Watching Hollyoaks as heard good things about their recent storyline.
Googled the girl who plays Maxine (Nikki Sanderson) and was amazed to read she is 38 years old. Looks way younger, very beautiful and amazing figure.

She was Sarah Platt’s friend in Corrie before moving to Chester Grin

Sarah Platt (Tina o’brien) has also not aged for two decades, it is quite amazing. Beautiful woman though.

Out of interest, what storyline?

Same as Samia Longchambon who plays Maria!

The three of them look nowhere near their ages. Must be something in the Corrie water.

I need to move to soapland. They have permanent childminders too.

Georgeskitchen · 26/12/2022 15:06

Good make up artists and lighting 😅

Thesearmsofmine · 26/12/2022 15:07

I remember her back in Corrie when she (and I) were teens. Her and Tina O Brian must have some kind of magical youth elixir.

TinaTeaspoons · 26/12/2022 15:08

It's called the long road home or something similar.
I thought she was about 27! Something in the Manchester water because the other 2 mentioned on here also look incredibly young!

I don't think signs of ageing are that apparent at 38, especially when women are healthy, slim and can afford expensive moisturisers.

Getinajollymood · 26/12/2022 15:10

Many women in their late 30s look amazing but they don’t look as they did as teens!

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 26/12/2022 15:38

Are you Nikki or her publicist @TinaTeaspoons ? Wink She is hardly stunningly beautiful and is average at best. (5/10 IMO.) And as for you saying 'SHE DOESN'T LOOK 38!!!' You act like 38 is fucking ancient. Hmm She does look her age by the way. Everyone does within 5 to 6 years when you look at them properly, and you're not seeing a filtered/photoshopped picture!

HideyHoe · 26/12/2022 16:14

I googled her as I didn't know who she was (don't watch TV soaps). She's attractive in an 90s American Pageant way. I don't know if she doesn't look 38 because all the photos seem filtered. I think 38 is young looking these days particularly if you have the money.

Looking at her photos on google she probably has had botox, can afford excellent haircare and dentistry and already has good genes. She has a really fit beautiful body for any age.
Does she look great? Yes
Does she look younger than 38? Not sure from filtered photos + she can afford cosmetic work. Nice white teeth alone can make you drop years couple it with professional cosmetic work and just look at J Lo in her 50s looking great.
So I don't see why she would be singled out, loads of women in the media are naturally attractive which is partly or wholly why they are in the media, plus they put loads of money and effort into staying attractive... and 38 is hardly ancient! I think you see the difference in appearance in mid 40s.

Mariposa26 · 26/12/2022 16:19

38 is hardly ancient is it? I always wonder why people act shocked that someone in their 30s or 40s might look great.

cantsing · 26/12/2022 16:24

I've googled her and yeah I can believe she is 38 and that's not meant in a negative or positive way. She looks very nice.

Yeah she looks fantastic but I can believe she's 38 (that's not a bad thing in any way!)

steff13 · 26/12/2022 16:29

I had to look her up and she is very pretty but it is not unbelievable at all that she's 38.

Sunnytwobridges · 26/12/2022 17:21

I just googled some images of her and in a lot of them she does look her age - which there's nothing wrong with that. I don't think signs of ageing are really noticeable til about mid 40s.

fernz · 26/12/2022 17:41

I had to Google her. I'm a year older and look the same or younger (although no amazing figure here, ha). A lot of my friends do as well, we aren't exactly ancient at 38-40. 🤣

We are apparently younger on a cellular level than previous generations in the West.

Spent time in a third world country tho, they truly look their age (or even older) because of hard living.

krill · 26/12/2022 17:46

I've never heard of the actresses but I don't watch soaps. I do remember that Tina O'Brien was discussed on another thread. She does look 38, definitely 30s, as some photos showed, but has good complexion and make up. Some photos had also been filtered.

Nothing wrong with looking 38. It's not ancient after all.

DuplicateUserName · 26/12/2022 18:22

The OP hasn't said anything about 'ancient' for goodness sake.

Just that she really doesn't look 38.

krill · 26/12/2022 18:37

I've just looked her up. Nikki Sanderson.

First photo to come up shows she is attractive but it looks like she's had cheek fillers and certainly looks no more than 40, but not 20s by any stretch. The tell tale vertical lines underneath, in the lower face area, if that makes sense.

Aesthetics is an area of interest for me. I'm not judging her as many people start in their 30s, some earlier 30s.

krill · 26/12/2022 18:38

Cheek fillers being along the cheekbone area, in case that wasn't obvious.

WTF is this post 😂, have you heard of melanin?

TinaTeaspoons · 26/12/2022 18:42

No I am not her bloody agent !
Just surprised as thought she was a lot younger. She has such an amazing body and I am very jealous as would love to look that great.

I agree with you there. When I watch old shows from the 80s I cant belive some of the 20 something contestants. Wrinkles, balding, bad teeth...

I think lifestyle changes have made a big difference.

TinaTeaspoons · 26/12/2022 22:15

Agreed but good genes also help
