Did they ever mention how long ago Lorraine had died or how long ago she'd experimented on Meredith? She looked the same age then as she does now which might affect my guesstimate on her age. I re-watched the episode, and I think I might have interprated the picture completely wrong. I thought from Lydia showing the picture when she said that she had never met Maddy, that it was a picture of Loraine & Maddy (in which Loraine was young and looked identical to Lydia). But watching the flash back again, I think it's supposed to be a picture of Lydia and Lorraine. Loraine then could be the same actress who opened the door to the lakehouse study for Meredith, Was standing on the dock of the Lakehouse in the rain after Maddy's death, and appeared in the picture with Holland.

If this is the case, then that means her grandmother died RELATIVELY recently since they used Holland for the picture and not some child actor. I don't remember them talking about her dying on the show, so I guess we could assmume it happened pre season 1, but that's all we know.

Even though we still don't know when this happend, Lydia at least (based off of what her mother told her) is under the impression that Meredith is relatively young. She called her a poor girl.
