	Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome - Quartermaines.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
		SORAS or Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome (less commonly called simply rapid aging) is a term for when an infant or young child in a soap opera is aged very quickly by the writers.
		In the early days of the soap opera it was not uncommon to age a character right into his or her 20s; for example, this happened to the character of Tom Hughes on As the World Turns in the late 1960s.
		By early 2006, he was aged to 26-years-old for the sake of his character being able to be a potential candidate in the storyline involving Dr. Paige Miller and the search for her long lost son whom she had given up twenty-six years prior.
