Through a lot of the series there is a woman providing character Lilly Bainbridge comfort & was the daughter of the circus clown, I believe her name was Ingrid Kersh, played by Madeleine Stowe. They tell this character’s story starting with her as a young teen, minimally 10-years old, in the circus with her clown father, back in 1908. Then she is in the present time of the series, kind of confusing, but I know it started in 1958, looking at least 40s, maybe, 50s years old (my mother is watching to, when I brought it to her, she says late 40s). So, she is looking way too young, for minimally how old the character has to be. 1958 - 1908 = 50-years old + she was at youngest 10-years old in 1908 (again my mother agrees with that) = 60-years old. Even if she looks 55-years old, that is at least 5-years too young.
Can someone help explain to me how this makes any sense?
I really liked the series, liked the book better. Rereading the book, after 35-years & being a young HS person, so maybe, that will change.
In one episode he says something about the past being the future so maybe just part of that time confusion.
I hear on that, but if that is true (with context of the 1st visual telling of story, TV 1990, having nothing do with & I do not remember the book ever bring that up, I will finish the book soon enough), they should have clear that up in this series, beyond just two-characters in what less than 5-lines talking about it, in the season final episode.
