This makes it hard to keep track of the actual age of the characters.

However, once they hit adulthood, time seems to slow down for them.

One “DOOL” character who was quickly aged was Chase Jennings.

Actor Connor Kalopsis was the first to play the role of the elementary school-age child.

Chase was a classmate of Bo and Hope Brady’s daughter, Ciara.

As Hope and Aiden got closer, Chase and Ciara also mended fences and became friends.
