I just finished writing Year of the Dog ! It had a massive plot hole that I had to fix which turned out to be more work than I expected. Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday. The edges of her smile faltered a little before brightening right back up again. “What, I can’t visit my nephew?” She angled around him to enter his home. “Is this your new house? Looks lovely.” Which was a blatant lie, because the fixer-upper was barely livable, much less acceptable to a neat-freak like his aunt. She also left four matching pink and purple floral suitcases on the stoop behind her. Only then did Ashwin notice the cab driver standing slightly to the side of the walkway. “Can ...
I have always loved Ashley Judd as an actress because I think she’s gorgeous and I’ve liked her in all the movies she’s done that I’ve seen. I have been loving her in her new TV series “Missing” but recently heard about the critics who said she’s clearly had work done because her face looks puffy and because she has no wrinkles. Really? Figure out what you’re saying, people.
Ashley wrote this column to refute the critics (she’s amazingly articulate--I had no idea) and also here’s a short video:

I actually really like Ashley in “Missing” because she looks about the right age to have a college-aged son, as opposed to other shows where the actress looks like she’s in her late twenties and yet she has a teenager.
What do you think of all this?

I think the puffy look is probably due to drinking too much, but I don't watch the show.
I agree with you on casting someone who actually looks like she could have a 20 year old son. I point to the new series Awake with Jason Isaacs as an example. His wife looks too young to have a teenage son in my opinion.
