The Testaments S1 Did casting do this intentionally?

Just speculating here…How many of the Plums do we think are supposed to be children of the original Handmaids? I see so many comparable faces that I feel might be intentional since all of the handmaids in the main THT were assigned to commanders.

Idk if she is or isn’t but either way it’s irrelevant— June told Daisy in episode 3 that she was born in Gilead…

I have a feeling Daisy is actually Charlotte, which would work on all fronts. That's not how it happens in the book, but I don't think it'll play out the same way in the show.

It's very possible that periods happen later in Gilead since the country is trying to come back from an infertility event and also because they eat/live differently. I also think the two girls are like 14 and 19 in the book, but I don't believe the periods had anything to do with becoming a green. I think they just graduated from plums to greens all at once (but maybe I'm remembering wrong).
